unkie {bill}

Happy Birthday to my favorite Unkie Bill!  I have a more appropriate photograph for you but that will be sent by e-mail ... mother wouldn't approve and she reads the blog too.  Thanks for making my days brighter and filled with laughter to no end.  Thanks for singing drag queen songs to me on a weekly basis.  And thanks for all those years of watching Pee Wee Herman on Saturday mornings.  We will miss Whitney but I'm sure there are more celeb tragedies in out future together.  And remember who loves you more than anything in the whole world (who also doesn't throw horrific temper tantrums anymore) ... ME!

diy {coral bookends}

Aren't these fantastic?!?!  And even though they are only $20 from Target the cheap side of me can't help but think about how easy it would be to make these out of fish tank coral and a 2 x 4.  Just think of the color combinations you could create with a little paint and imagination.  Gold and white laquer ... hot pink and neon yellow ... tone on tone shades of any color would create a clean and modern look as well ... oh the possibilities are endless.  Project coral bookends commence.

So these antlers were on sale on Gilt for $400 the other day.

These are on sale at my local antique store for $60 .... which do you think will be coming home with me?

gold {wood}

I told you I have been obsessed with metallic lately and this coffee table covers all of my wants and desires.  It is gold for starters - and not just partly gold, all the way gold.  And we can't deny the unbelievably cool design and the fact that none of your friends would have it.  Ah, if only I had won the mega millions I would have a gold log table ... however, if you won the millions you can get this table on One Kings Lane today.
