My dreams have come to life...

Here I am doing my usual Monday morning stroll through blog heaven and what do I come across?  Riviera Maison is what.  So as I browse through their online catalog, I wonder, how did I miss this?  This place, this furniture wonder, is in a word...superb!  The photo above is one taken inside one of the actual shops and to my utter disappointment I find that there are no U.S. stores.  So it looks like I'll be doing some online shopping (shocking I know..haha)...

This shop rekindles my love for wicker.

For those places you can't hang a chandelier, why not have it on a lamp stand?  Genius I tell you!

Who needs glass in a china cabinet?  Just paint a picture!

I will no doubt be dreaming about this pendant light for months to come.

Is it wrong that I will easily be able to replicate this table and save myself a few bucks?

Remember that throw I mentioned in my previous post?  Here it is, ready to keep you warm on those chilly autumn nights.  You won't even need a sweater, because it's a two in one!

I'm reminded of Jami @ Freckled Laundry's faux zinc tutorial for this table.

Well ladies, I highly recommend this delight!  Here is the link for the webshop en english!

Have a great week everyone!

Lost, then found..

I felt a good place to start on my first blog post is why I am here exactly. I love design. I can get lost browsing online stores and design sites for hours. There are so many great ideas that a person can get thumbing through these pages, I thought why not incorporate all that catches my eye into one spot?

The style I'm drawn to is a much sought after taste. The country cottage feel with a beach influence. I'd say there are plenty of us out there.

What I love is that it is a design that can be easy replicated on a tiny budget. You don't have to break the bank and a lot of things can be made at home. How great is that?!?

I come across great finds nearly every day (like so many others), and now is the time to share them with you. I'm hoping to become motivated by other decor lovers and that you'll take the time to share some of your great finds too!

And now for my first find...

www.furnituretogo.com

There are tons of great priced furniture pieces (and some decor) for those of you that live in the Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Las Vegas areas. These items are not only stylish, but are quality made, and great prices to boot!!

This sofa can be purchased for the bargain price of $599

Or this gorgeous set can be purchased for $279.

Wow!!
