Wicker Chairs

Don’t run and hide…. I promise I’ve not lost my mind! We have a really cute consignment store that I stop/drive by every now and then. The other day they had an outdoor table set that had these “to die for” wicker/rattan chairs. I know I know… wicker really?

When I hear the word wicker this is the image that pops up in my mind

and I pretty much want to crawl into a corner and hide. Ha ha no really. Its great and all just not my style.

These “to die for” chairs were A-H-MAZING! I only needed two of the four chairs and assumed they probably wouldn’t sell them separate. I walked away. Ya know when you walk away from something and you just CANT stop thinking about it? That’s how I was with these chairs. I let the thought sit for a few days and I caved in. I called to see if they would sell me just two of the chairs and….. they were SOLD!!!!

I’ve searched for a picture of what they looked like but I can’t find the exact chair. They were a pretty good mix between these two though and I planned on using them in my living room.

DIY Home Projects

Oh gosh! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been busy with every day life events and haven’t found much time for projects or blogging. So sorry! I’m still slaving away in my bedroom. I have a little sneak peak of my faux brick wall for you! Its a little teeny portion of the wall… I don’t want to spoil the reveal ;) I promise to share my tips and tricks with you as soon as its finished! I was inspired by Brooke’s faux brick wall and I’m using her tips, just adding a little as a I go.

I was out and about shopping the other day and I found these awesome moss balls at Rod Works, love them! They add a perfect splash of green to my media center.
