It's like CHRISTMAS over here!!

I ordered my (expensive ass*) $600 rug yesterday and my H just told me he ordered the mantel for our fireplace (my FIL said it was cheaper to buy the one I liked vs. him build it for us).

I'm so excited to get it finished up. I ended up caving and buying different shades for my lamps since I'm too cheap to pay shipping for a $25 shade from Target.com. I have art work going up in my workspace, curtains and rods to hang in our bedroom, artwork to print and hang in the baby's room.

I need advice on art for the bedroom, I think. I had black and white prints from our wedding but I never hung them. I'm not sure if I still want to do it or if I should do something else. I have pictures of the space at home.

*words uttered by my H who is of the opinion that you should always be cheap -- except when it comes to his toys.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished room.

How exciting!! Where did you get your mantel from? I've been perusing the mantels direct website and catalog, but I'm a little hesitant to buy something I haven't seen in person.

I think it was from hay needle. I will update (with link) once we get it to let you know how nice it is.

I can't wait to see it!  You should have said something - I would have let you order the shades w my red card so you could get them shipped for free.  (Or maybe you did, but I'm just MIA too often).

Nah, I just bought them in store. I think they look better because the old shade was a large mix-and-match drum from Target on a medium base, so now I have a medium drum shade on a medium base. I bought a different base and put the large drum shade on it to use by my sewing machine since that room only has one overhead light and it gets dark over there.

I keep telling myself I'll do the Red Debit, but I don't carry my checks with me! I plan on going to Target this weekend, so maybe I'll void one and put it in there today so I don't forget.
