It's a sickness, really.

I effing love me some Home Decor.  Maybe it’s because growing up, my Mom was an interior designer (both by nature, and by practice) and was/is constantly bringing home new accessories/swatches etc. to switch out with the old and keep the house “fresh.”    When Scott and I moved in together, I went into overdrive.   I’m a home furnishings shopaholic, and I can’t be stopped.    Luckily, my taste skews vintage, so my manic shopping sprees are usually confined to garage sale picking/eBay/Craigslist/flea markets and the like.    Of course news of the little one’s impending arrival gave me cause for pause on the shopping front – gonna have to send the girl to college one day, after all – so I’ve been on a six month hiatus from buying anything new (except for the occasional maternity tank top – this belly won’t be wrangled by my pre-weight-loss wardrobe alone.)

Now the fun begins.   In order to make way for the beast that’s been playing bongos on my cervix lately (a really uncomfortable sensation – I don’t recommend you try it…) we get to do a little bit of home redecorating.   The office/music/workout room is about to become a nursery.   The “basement” is about to become a man cave/music room.   The “lounge” (where the bar is) is in the process of becoming the living room.    And the living room is becoming an office.   (It will make sense when you see the before and after pictures one day.)   With all this reorganizing and redecorating, comes my favorite part.   Purchasing.   Last night we moved the swag lamps from the old living area to the new living area and realized that (seeing as our place has no overhead lighting whatsoever) we were left with a very dark corner where the office will be.   So I got to buy some new lamps.   The ones pictured above.

I know, I know.   So irresponsible of me to buy lamps before we buy a changing table, etc.   But don’t worry!   They were a great deal!   I bought them from an amazing site called One King’s Lane, where these lamps were a whopping 50% off.   (If you haven’t heard of it, One Kings Lane is like Gilt Group but with home furnishings – everything is up to 70% off..::wipes drool off keyboard::)   Want to check it out?   Email me for an invite.
