So yesterday I was browsing west elm and I did a double take when I saw this sign:   I was like, "Whoa!" That's an amazing markdown! What exactly was on sale?   I almost fell over! I immediately asked an associate for the details and he told me that this was just the floor sample and that there was one NIB for the...

I came across these boots on Lulus.com the other day and I just HAD to share. I'd totally be happy with either pair (or all, if someone's feeling generous!) They're all so unique and I'm sure that they would be a show stoppers all over town.(To be completed with a new pair of skinny jean...

So it's finally time to start turning my attention towards our beloved sunroom. Up until now, it's been primarily used for things that we've slowly been putting away. Now that we're almost done with the dining room (posting a picture of the new storage soon) I can finally think about how I would like the space to function. I was...

Totally excited to share this with you! Today our new LG high efficiency front load washer and dryer set was delivered! Up until a few days ago we had been renting a set while we figured out the perfect pair for us. Originally the price for the washer was $899 and the dryer was $1099. We bought them online on Thanksgiving day for...

Just something to lift my spirits! I've been holding on to these photos for a while. I've always wanted a cool, vintage tub. Not sure how comfortable it would be as a sofa, but these are so darling that I just had to share!   This one is adorable. I  love a rich lime green and a flokati rug! How sweet are these?...

I totally forgot to give my boo props for the amazing job he did turning our tv into the coolest thing I've seen in a rental. Ladies and Jets - our Framsta and Besta Jagra hibrid! Home to all of our gaming and cable needs, our creation turned out pretty awesome. Brandon put it up over Halloween weekend and I came home to a nice,...

I've never really thought of myself as a "china cabinet" sort of girl. The formality always appeared rather stuffy (i.e. having your "good stuff" behind glass and never using it unless you have "company"). I mean, I like the idea of storage - God knows we need it with of smaller than average kitchen wall cabinets - but I wanted...

The older I get, the more the quintessential girly-girl inside of me begins to arise.  As a little girl, I was completely into handbags (mostly for their color coordination and utility) but the older I get, the more I find myself being infatuated by shoes. More specifically, the designer in me has become increasingly interested...

It's our first Christmas as husband and wife and I couldn't be more excited! We went Christmas tree shopping and decided on a black pre-lit tree from Target! Now I know you're thinking, Rae, that sounds a little crazy, but you know us, we like to break the mold on a regular basis. Staying the with color scheme of the apartment...

So I promised everyone some photos of our dining room! Here's what we have so far. From left to right, meet our Billy Jader bookcase, our Bjursta dining table (not extended at the moment), our tufted white vinyl cubes - oh, and our trusty Bekvam step stool. Notice the track lighting... sooo not dining appropriate!  In...

Let's just keep it short and sweet today... here are the new chairs that we got a few ago weeks from Target. It's called the Dolce lounge chair, and it's downright adorable. We got two for an amazing price (with the help of a sale, a percentage off coupon, my working advantage website, and a wedding gift card). All that came to...

So Brandon and I have come to the conclusion that the only way we are going to be able to put away all of our wedding gifts is by purchasing a sideboard for our dining room. Of course knowing me, I always check out potentials at work before I begin searching all over ( I mean how could I not, I spend more time in the blue box than...
