Avoid This Decorating Mistake

Have you ever been caught up in that "cool" piece of furniture?  The one that looks good and would seem to be the compliment to your space.  You purchase on a whim and realize..it's not functional, practical and definitely not comfortable.

Here's some tips..
Think about how you use your space.
How do you function in it?
Would the piece your buying help with your lifestyle?
Can you sit on it and be relaxed and comfortable?

Will you love it for the long term or just for the week?  Buyers remorse?

Remember just because it is beautiful doesn't mean it's practical.

Our Trip To Chicago: Restoration Hardware

Happy Friday all!  The word "Friday" sounds so good..doesn't it?

I was supposed to have a guest blogger here today but we decided to switch because their schedule got so busy..so I promise you will be hearing from them soon : )

I am continuing our trip to one of the stores I drool over all the time.. Restoration Hardware.  I have to say the one in Lincoln Park is my favorite.  You actually feel like you are walking through their catalogue.

We took a lot of pics but here is just a taste : )

It was more beautiful in person than in the magazine.  I also didn't realize how much volume the pieces had.  I have in mind a couple of pieces for my own home...hmm

If you ever have a chance to go make a trip to the Lincoln Park one..you won't want to leave.

Happy Mother's Day! 

Here's a pic of my beautiful mom and dad on their wedding day.
