Mission Accomplished

I did it. I finally found my dining room chairs. Not only did I find them but I bought them, and I actually haggled down the price for them. Obviously I am proud of myself, because haggling is not something that comes naturally for me. Found these babies on Craigslist, them moment I saw them I knew I had to have them. Sorry for the picture quality, I was so excited they came straight from my phone.

Ready For My Close Up...

I have a new obsession with wedding photographers. I am not a fan of the cheesy, so I refuse to be photographed in a swing, lying on a bed, in a carriage or anything of that nature. I am no expert photographer myself (I take pictures with a camera that I have dropped so many times I consider it a good night if it actually turns on) so I don't know any of the terminology or about lens' or lighting. But I do think I am good judge of beautiful photography, here are some shots from photographers that may be just lucky enough to take my picture.

Shield Back Chairs

I found a set of six of these at Sleepy Poet last weekend. I walked away from them because they seemed too common and even after a makeover I wasn't sure if they would meet my expectations (which are high).

But then I saw this re-do on Eddie Ross' inspirational website and am now rethinking my decision.

An Open Letter to J.Crew

Dear J.Crew,

I am so glad you have turned yourself around and brought back the J.Crew I know and love. I can't wait to wear you all spring and summer. Now how about you show me some gratitude and send me my wish list.

XO, Cassidy
