Some Pretty New Things

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share some things that I purchased with my Christmas money recently.  I have a thing for fur this year.  Faux fur, not real fur!  So, when I found this fur covered stool at World Market, I grabbed it up.  It was on sale, which helped me afford it.  It is only available online though.  

  

I placed it in front of the fireplace but it can be pulled up for extra seating and putting your feet up on.  I just like the femininity of it and the texture of the fur.  My husband said it reminded him of something you would see in the 70's.  Hmmmm..............(thanks honey!  I never even thought of that.  I will try to erase that image from my brain now since I don't like the 70's style.)  

I brought out my florentine tray to place candles on my coffee table.  I wanted to keep my coffee table simple now that I want my wooden prayer beads to be the main feature!  

And, I always keep a box of Kleenex out in my house because I have the sniffles year round.  It is apparently genetic since my parents do too.  So, rather than looking at an ugly cardboard box that doesn't match my decor, I ordered this florentine tissue box from Etsy.

Now, it blends right in and I just refill it when it's empty.  

I'm also loving inspirational quotes.  I have a few pictures of them on my walls already, but I recently found this one at Hobby Lobby and thought it was perfect for the wall by the stairs.  

It fills this large wall better than what I did have there.  Did you know that Hobby Lobby has a TON of pictures like this?  No need to go to Sugarboo Designs and pay hundreds of dollars or even some other websites that charge over $100!  This large picture was on sale for just $40.  Now that's what I'm talking about! 

So, there you have it.  Just a few new pretty things that I've acquired lately and have been enjoying using in my home.

In other news, my husband and I have finally selected our new kitchen appliances and we'll purchase them from an appliance store.  Another blogger suggested that I use that type of store as opposed to a big box store like Lowes.  We received amazing customer service and decided to go with a bundle package that will save us some money.  We have chosen all LG appliances.  This way, they will all match and we can use their rebate.  

I hope that you have a great weekend!  We are expecting some winter weather here later today.  I have no idea why they closed schools in my area though!  I think it will mostly be a rain event for my neighborhood.  I know that many of you up north are preparing for a severe storm however.  Be safe!

Thanks for stopping by.
