Shopping

B and I have lived in our condo since April 2008, and we are finally getting to the point where it's almost completely "decorated". We have yet to renovate the bathroom and would like to build a new patio. Both the bathroom and the slab of dirty concrete patio are disgusting in need of work. We have, however, furnished the place. We now need to "decorate". So....tomorrow, my mother and I are heading out to finish the house. I need lamps (to replace the Target ones that have served us well), a mirror for my nautical guest room), new garbage cans, a bench for the guest room, picture frames and, in general, more tchatchkes, because can we ever have enough?

In an ideal world, I'd be bringing home a mirror like this:

And the bench might prove to be a challenge to find....I'd love a smaller version of this:

We are hitting HomeGoods, Tuesday Morning, TJ Maxx, Kirkland, and Target. I found a lamp at Target that I love.....I plan to fill it with sand and shells purchased in Naples. I'm very much looking forward to a fun a productive weekend! I also hope to finish the book I'm reading so I can start researching Truman's Swans....Should be fun!

I love shopping for accessories. They really complete a home (It's all about the layering!).

Keep us posted on your purchases.

Photos, perhaps??

Have fun!
