Get the Look For Less: Brass Sphere Lamp

I've seen similar posts but had to brag about my real-life savings and encourage you all to run, not walk, to your nearest Target.  Isn't this lamp fantastic?!  What is not so great is the huge price tag attached to it: $492.

Enter my hero, Target.  Bringing high-end style straight to our everyday homes.  I scooped up the base on clearance for $31 and the shade for $16.  I was so proud that I practically screamed it from the rooftop...or told everyone that would listen.

What kind of fab finds have you discovered lately?  Any of them to the tune of $450?!  Please share if you have a good one and maybe we can feature it next Friday!  Here's to a weekend full of fall decorating and hot apple cider...see you Monday!

Light Fixture Lust

I decided to tackle another project in the office and get that much closer to calling it "finished."  Well, finished for now :)  But first, I thought I better fill you in on a favorite element I added a couple of months ago.  Let there be LIGHT!

Remember this PROGRESS shot:

That dining room chandelier just wasn't doin' it for me.  Enter my beloved West Elm Globe Pendant:

I have to give props to the Mr. for being my knight in shining armour when it came to installing that beauty.  Here she is in all her glory:

LOVE.  One more pic for good measure...and because I heart my new light fixture: 

That was the good.  Now for the bad and ugly.  You can't see it from this angle, but there is a corner just to the front right of the desk that holds my stuff.  Stuff=fabric, sewing machine,  JUNK.  Case in point:

I. need. storage.  So we headed to Lowe's and came home with my next DIY project:

 

See you Wednesday!

Get the Look for Less

Since I'm still waiting on my delivery from West Elm, my big (ah-mazing) project that was oh-so-near completion was put on hold.  The good news?  This little look for less could save you and your love-for-all-things-industrial-farmhouse self $65!  So sit back and get ready to hit that "add to cart" button!  You can thank me later.

Behold, the West Elm mid-century Scandinavian goodness that is the Finn Pendant:


Great right?  But at $99, it isn't exactly easy on the pocketbook.  Never fear!  While I was at Lowe's this week, I spotted this beaut and the $35 pricetag can't be beat:

You're welcome!
