Between the cold weather, and finally having some luck with decorating, I've got a bit of a split focus this week.
A fantastic pair of gloves. I bought a pair of Lands' End cashmere lined leather gloves on sale last spring, and they are fantastic. Warm, comfortable, and professional looking. If you have to bundle up this early in the year, you might as well have warm clothing options that you like.
Sherwin Williams paint. We've been searching for the perfect gray-ish purple for our bedroom wall for what feels like forever. We stopped into a Sherwin Williams store on a whim on Saturday and not only found our color, but could choose our finish, get it right away, and they keep our color information in their system in case we ever need to come back. Fantastic service, and a (soon to be) beautiful room!
Creative furniture shopping. We've been using an Ikea JokkMokk kitchen table for the last 6 years- has been a great surface for us, and we're the third household to use this particular table, so if you're looking for a sturdy Ikea bet, this is a good one. That said, we've finally started to outgrow it- it's just a little too small for more than 4 adults to eat at. We've been planning on replacing it with a variation of this DIY table, but came across the table legs above this weekend while out at an architectural salvage shop. If you haven't browsed one of these before, you should just for fun- it's amazing what you can get at these places. We bought two of these table bases to make a larger rectangular table- now we just need to decide what to use as a top...
