My love affair with Zara

It's no secret that I love fashion and one of my go to stores is Zara.  Whether it's a great pair of shoes or a gorgeous coat I can always find something that has to come home with me.  Here are a few favourites I've got my eye on for fall.

I love these velvet loafers.  They would look great with jeans!

A great neutral scarf with an interesting pattern

A great pair of boots with a little western detail around the toe

I love a great easy dress and this one is a must have

A velvet coat to dress up any casual outfit

This jacket has great detail and colour

Another great coat

Can never have too many coats!!  This one has leather sleeves.  Love it.

Don't be afraid to add a pop of colour with a great bag

Living room progress

Hi Peeps,  I have made some progress in my living room since I last posted about my newly reupholstered chairs.  I took a few pictures to share with you.  Still on the list is an area rug, accent tables, and a few accessories.  It's slowly coming along!

My new pillows I had made with fabric I ordered ages ago and I love how they turned out.  I am still waiting for another pillow to arrive.

I need to glam up my new bar cart.

 This wall will become a gallery wall with a sideboard underneath. (Still searching for that)

I still need to accessorize my fireplace and coffee table

BC Home magazine feature!

I am being featured in the September issue of BC Home magazine and I couldn't be happier!  It's a great issue so be sure to pick it up. The spread turned out beautifully thanks to my wonderful photographer Tracey Ayton who is always a pleasure to work with.

Reveal

So as some of you know I have been working on redecorating my living room and no it's not done yet!  But I thought I would give you a little peek at my fabulous vintage chairs that I had reupholstered.  So to remind you what they looked like before:

Not horrible but still needed some help

 And here's what they look like now with a little help from Dwell in the gate pattern

Marbling magic

I am all over anything marbled these days.  I love the movement and colour it brings to a room.  Isn't it pretty?

Redecorating my living room

I am in the middle of working on my own living room and wanted to share the now empty space.  I finally convinced my husband that it's time to start over in that room.  We have had the sofa since before we got married and it was time to say goodbye.  I don't know about you but my husband is under the impression that once you have bought furniture for a room there is no reason to ever replace it!  Does he know who he's married to??  So far I have two vintage chairs that I'm reupholstering in the Dwell gate fabric and I am trying to secure an amazing crome and brass bar cart on ebay.  I also have my eye on a sofa that I need to check out in person.  What do you think so far?  My vision for the room is an eclectic mix of pieces that all work together.  It's a tall order but I can see it coming together in my mind.  Let's hope that the reality is just as good!

What I am coveting right now

Everything about this line of furniture just calls my name.  It's the new Lilly Pulitzer line through Neiman Marcus and everything about it is perfection.  The lacquer, the gold accents, the pretty lined drawers in the dining room table,  need I go on?
