My very 1st Haul!...by way of H&M

I've always been a huge fan of H&M for their decent quality, high style and low cost clothing, but have always had to love it from afar since there isn't a brick-n-mortar location anywhere near me. I could not have been happier when they started their E-commerce site last fall and just recently got to take advantage of it (along with their winter clearance sale)!

My night was made when I got home for work last night and saw this waiting for me on the sofa!


And here's what I pulled out of that happy bag:


I hope you didn't think I was exaggerating when I said HAUL!

Proud moment.

Credenza Rescue

First of all, Happy MLK Day! I'm at work, but had to show you guys a little change to the Hamilton Living Room!

You may recall it looking like this.



Well, it's gotten quite the upgrade. Do you remember this piece?


My very first vintage furniture purchase and my prized possession.


Here it is in my very first apartment almost 5 years ago.


And here it is in our home in Missouri.


Well, when we moved to Memphis (and lost any real dining space), it was sort of tossed into the hub's man room and was left there to die. Here it is buried under every electronic known to mankind.


Another week in there and she would've been destroyed by the water rings from his beer bottles. So, she has been rescued! She's now safe and sound and the star of the living room. 





She needs some new styling, but isn't she great!?! It took me a few hours to get used to seeing her in our living space, but I'm so totally in love with it now. Plus, I no longer have to worry about her demise by beer bottle water ring any more.

Now I feel the urge to completely restyle the entire space! Pillows, art, rug, accessories...I'm on the lookout for it all!

So, what do you guys think? Is this not the perfect place for my prized possession? Well, at this point, I don't think anyone could tell me any different. (c;
