Visiting West Elm This Weekend...

I'll be heading to West Elm this weekend to check out some of their new items! Plus I also have some design dollars.....you know, you get $25 for every $250 you spend! Hmmm, is that what they call them?!?!? Design dollars?!?

Of ALL the things thought......I'm really loving the NEW chevron duvet cover -it's not your average straight-lined chevron but a more wild looking one! What do you think about it?!? 

PLUS it's on SALE!! 







Also, West Elm sent me preview of what's to come this FALL at the shop, check it out below! Very exciting...enjoy!

New Sofa from West Elm...(Via Made By Girl)

So, I finally decided to get a bigger and better quality sectional.  I walked into West Elm last weekend & I knew this was it. Plus it helped that it was 10% off....!! 

In case you're wondering which one it is exactly, its the Walton sectional.  They offer it in a variety of fabrics & I REALLY wanted it in velvet, but they said it was like a 10 week wait.....huh?!? Forget that!


First, my father will be visiting with my brother this month so I needed something relatively soon. Second, the basket weave fabric was available on the spot, so I took that.... EXACTLY like the one they had in the store.


I'll be featured in the upcoming issue of Adore Magazine - so you'll see the way it looks in my home then! 






BELOW: Old sofa.   For those of you wondering... what did she do with the old sofa?? Well, I sold it.  In my opinion when you want to make a BIG purchase.....  

TIP: SELL items in your home that you don't need. 


The REASON for this is so you can offset the cost of the NEW purchase! I do this all the time when I buy something new for my home. So, if you know you have items in your garage you're not going to use.... EVER....just sell it & buy something you really love for your place!

New Items For Sale at Jennifer's Closet...(Via Made By Girl)

Some of you may remember when I first introduced "Jennifer's Closet" back in Sept. 2009.


Well, for those who don't know...it's a section in my web shop where I post items there were originally owned by me FOR SALE. Most of the time I end up selling things because I have too much stuff or it just DOESN'T fit my current decor.


At this time, the items you see below are for sale because they don't fit my new place or I just DON'T  have anywhere to put them. Please visit Jennifer's closet to read about all these items for sale. 






Everything you see above is in good condition & I'm certain you'll be HAPPY with any of these items!

Handmade Holiday Decor at West Elm....(Via Made By Girl)

I'm SOOO excited the Holidays are right around the corner! First comes Halloween, Thanksgiving (it will be the first in this new place) & then OF COURSE, Christmas! I love Christmas, all the gorgeous decor in the store windows, the SALES, the giving of gifts and donations to those in need, holiday decorations, visiting family & more!  

HOWEVER, I do MISS THE SNOW from back East .....


SPEAKING OF of decorations, West Elm has a TON of new HANDMADE tree ornaments made out of felt!  The ornaments are actually made in Nepal and are some of the CUTEST I've seen yet! Check them out!






I HAVEN'T DECIDED on what kind of tree we'll get this year, tall, short, just branches, colorful, all white??? Have you decided on a tree yet??  

THIS was our tree LAST YEAR, we just cut a few branches from our yard & ta da, our very own, hand-made tree!  Enjoy!

Weekend West Elm Purchase....(Via Made By Girl)

After asking on Twitter for suggestions on pencil cups,  I finally decided on these alphabet mugs by West Elm. One for me and the other for my guy! I have LOTS of pens on my desk, since I'm constantly writing notes, so I NEEDED a cup that was going to make them look organized. As you can see, my guy has yet to organize his pens...I may just have to do it for him!

Have you seen these alphabet mugs yet? What pencil cup holder do you use? Where did you get yours from???
