Remember a couple of weeks ago- I showed you my Goodwill coffee table- HERE
BEFORE:
MY INSPIRATION:
It was a dark brown metal with glass top. After a few coats of metallic gold spray paint and new mirror top we now have this:
I love the lines-very chic and contemporary
and as much as the rug totally matches the table- its got to go. Its too much gold- and the table gets washed out against it. So Im off on a rug hunt now. It never stops! *sigh*

So I was having this conversation with my sister the other day. I was telling her how I loved Z Gallerie and Restoration Hardware and if I could just combine the two it would be my "perfect" style. She suggested I make an inspiration board with the combined styles. Thanks Sissy!!
So If Z Gallerie and Restoration Hardware got married and made babies this is what it would look like:
Now I've just got to work on the name- Z Hardware? Restoration Gallerie? Z Restoration? Hardware Gallerie? Zestoration Harderie? hmmm

Remember when I showed you my inspiration for my home office here. Im not done "yet" but thought I would share a few little teaser pics. I still have 2 chairs to reupholster, curtains to make and a little DIY button tufting, and a little "sumthing-sumthing" for the dresser that is going to be AWE-some!. I am so ready for it to be finished-until then......
I am so embarrassed to show you my make-up drawer. It is beyond scary-movie. Something HAD to be done.
I found this great wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby and decided it would be perfect to line the drawer with it. A few coats of gold spray paint on some Dollar Store storage bins and voila!
The little saucer that holds my tweezers and eye pencil sharpener is from an antique teacup that broke. I just couldn't part with the saucer and now it has a home.
Now all I need is some new make-up!
Today I have the honor of participating in "Its all in The Details" over at RoCo Rennie. Come join me here
So while on vacation we decided to do what all tourist do-find the closest tacky souvenir shop to buy the kids some gifts. Well were we in for a treat! This place is far from tacky and the prices were awesome!
Ok so maybe a little dingy filled with conch shells is a little "tacky"
But look at all those shells!!
Glass floats for around $25
Look at this collection of shells!
Love the pearlized ones
This little guy came home with me. Love the turquoise
And this big fella is now happily sitting on top of a stack of books in my living room
Coral out the wa-zoo! and this is not the resin stuff-this is the real deal.
The Nautilus shell one of my faves. These babies were not cheap- $25 a shell- but they were just amazing in this apothecary jar.
Pearlized Nautilus
Sea fans galore. Ok I have to admit these things creep me out but I know they make beautiful backdrop displays and are used often. But still *shivers*
Beautiful display of shells under cloches. (side note: found some super cheap cloches HERE ok now I just told you about my secret go-to place for crafts- dont buy them all up m'kay?)
Ok so I had to toss in a little Pirate Rules:
More pearlized Nautilus
LOVED this seahorse print- how cute would this be in a childs room.
Look at those bright yellow shells
Sand Dollars- the large ones were only $2
Love this black & white coral print (bahahaha just noticed my bird legs in the refection)
Blue coral- I have never heard of it-I thought they dyed it-but my husband saw some when he was snorkeling- thats its natural color.
Hope you enjoyed the little tour. They do have a website and you can order some of their shells online: Shell World
