The Holidays this year could not have been better…ok, I could have done without the chilling cold and the torrential downpours, but other than that, it was a great low-key, and relaxing time!

I also must have been VERY good this year because Santa was VERY nice to me. Check out some of the loot:

I previously told you how to have designer furniture on a budget, and I wanted to share with you my latest investment!

The picture on top is a Pottery Barn piece that I used as the inspiration for the turquoise piece that is currently in my home…The only difference? Besides the color…was saving almost $500…WOOT!

Runner!?!?  Baahahaha!  I crack my damn self up!

Anywho, I’m no Betty Crocker and my table isn’t always “set”, but I like to keep things looking pretty snazy.  AK and I were talking about investing in one of these.  I’m thinking a runner, some votive candles,  a few accents and my dinner table is good as new.
