My lil Entry Way

I redid my lil entry way bench, in an awning stripe ( I know, big surprise.)
Here's the before:

And today with the new upholstery, and some explanations:

I AM debating on painting those stairs white, like this:

My only hesitation is the wood is 101 years old. The color is real, so if I hated the white, I'm kinda screwed :)

$2 Crown.

So, my daughter turned 4. Don't ask me where the time went, because I do not know. I thought she needed a crown for her preschool day, so I ran to Joann and picked up this $1 cardboard crown, and bought $1 worth of felt (sale) and voila!

Happy Birthday Brynlee Reece!

Nordstrom Pillows

Nordstrom has some great ikat/watercolor pillows on clearance right now, a screamin deal. 

They were $38

They're now $12.90, including the feather insert!

They had only 2 left at the closest nordstrom to me, and I snatched them. I wish they had 2 blues, but I have a little orange here and there so the one on the left may fit in. I'm still deciding!

Crazy Rug Sale

I've been keeping my eye on Rugs USA because I had heard they were going to go 75% off all clearance. Bananas.
West Elm carried a rug verrrry close to the one I got, ( discontinued west elm )

I got the rugsusa charcoal Moroccan rug in a 5x8 for only $64!!

and this chunky jute rug in a 4x6 for only $27

I'll shoot some pics when they arrive in a couple of days. Go take advantage of this amazing deal!

*edit* Either they had an error on the 75% off this particular rug, or it was a one day sale ( they honored mine ) because readers informed me it's back to 35% off! However, if you go to the clearance section there IS quite a few at 75% off.
