Redecorating and A Baby Shower!

Some people have asked me where the heck I've gone...well...

First, I've been trying to redo my living room. We bought a new couch and I refinished this buffet table and picture that hangs above it (it's the declaration of Independence):


I can't find the right curtains (they've always been so hard for me to find!) I want something vintage and fun...and not too grandma-ish. Any tips on where to find some sweet curtains?

Then I hosted my friend's baby shower. She didn't want it to be too frilly so we decided to have a purple and green baby shower.

I love working with my friend Lucinda. If I have an idea she can really make it come to life! I asked her if she could make a banner and things to hang from the chandelier and voila! She went above and beyond- it looked spectacular!


And of course Hunter and I had a cold to top it all off...Needless to say, it's been a pretty busy week!

Oooo....it looks so good!!! You'll totally pick the right curtains...have you looked on ebay or etsy?

I tried to picture the chest but it looks sooooo much better then you described! I would love to see how this looks with your couch. Hoping that my couch isn't cramping your style....hee hee.

You really are amazing!

the buffet is beautiful and the party looked so fun.

For the curtains, I'd suggest going to SAS in Tempe, you can find all sorts of fabric there that you wouldn't be able to find at JoAnns.
And at a great price. Don't go on Saturdays though - it's a mad house.
Actually, Mesa Sales might be better the SAS, their market is home decor so they'd have a bigger selection of curtain fabric.
Good luck, I'm sure whatever you do will be amazing.
