Office Progress

Friday, while the hubs kept this little guy...



I got one of these



And headed to Home Goods...heaven on Earth. It is about a 30 minute drive from us so I had to make it worth it. I think I did pretty good. I went looking for a lamp, but that didn't work out.

So instead I got this cute basket for the top of my guest bath toilet and that pretty scrolled piece to go on the wall. I think it looks great in there with all the french inspired pieces that are already a part of the room (the vanity and the mirror are very intricate).



I also picked up this recycled glass container for all my kitchen utensils and it is oh-so-pretty.





I found this AWESOME chair at a consignment store for $15!! It is going in the office an will match the draperies perfect since they will have navy and green in them.



And, the splurge for the room, our desk. Ballard Design never disappoints! It smells incredible and you can't see the mess inside of it! I love it :) I put a potted orchid on top with some candles on a pretty plate. So far, that is the extend of my decorating until all the draperies arrive. Can't wait for you all to see the finished product!

Clyde really is too cute for words. I need to take some recent photos of Chase and Mandy. That Starbs drink looks really good and I love Home Goods. I’m overdue for a trip there. The basket and wall piece you got for the bathroom looks great.

The chair and desk look great. I really like the color of that chair. I hope you had a great weekend!

Oh my gosh... I am not even kidding when I say I have two of the ladder back chairs!! They were my husbands grandmother's and mine are painted this laquer black finish. It looks so good Julianne!

I love that scroll artwork for your bathroom! And I totally agree, Home Goods and Starbucks are some of my favorite things also. I can't wait to see how your office comes along.
