New Chairs!!!

OK, so some of you already know that I want to turn my home into a "beach house"!  It's the closest I'm going to get to owning a beach house.  Anyway, I've been looking for some chairs that would go with this theme w/o breaking the bank.


I decided I would check IKEA and see what they have.  I have looked online before, but never found anything that caught my eye!  Any way I came across this:  CHAIR AT IKEA $69.99

They had the same chair in black but that wouldn't have been beachy....right?  So I was very happy that IKEA has this one on display.  Well when I sat in it, it wasn't that comfortable....and it was low to the ground.  :O(

So I kept standing there staring at the chairs and found this one:  IKEA CHAIR 2
which looked like this:

 I sat is this chair and it was much better, even my husband agreed.  However, it was $99.99.  So I stay in the chair and think about it for a while.  I decided I would go for it.

Here's me putting them together:

 

YAY!!!!

Been outta touch...

WOW, it's been a while since I've posted here.  SORRY!  I missed you all too!  I'm trying to think of some of the things I've been trying to do.

Well I did have that 50th B-day party for my hubby back in May.  I was a success that's for sure.  Here are the center pieces I made.  I used also a mirror square with some flameless tealights.  The candle holders I found for a terrific price at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  Plus I can use them whenever I want for any other occasion.  

So that's how the room was set up.  I was able to get a hold of some leather table top coves and they just really completed the look. 

  So that's about it for the Big Day for my Hubby!!

OH YEAH...I couldn't forget this....THE CAKE!!!!
