Staging tips

If you're getting ready to sell your house, check out these tips for staging your home!

Fun Find

First, let me apologize for skipping Bargain Shopping yesterday. (I know how sad that must have made you...) You wouldn't believe though how busy life can get some times! (Well, actually, I'm sure you can- however; no excuse!)

To make up for my lack of blogging yesterday, I've decided to start ANOTHER weekly blog topic, Fun Finds! (I figure, since my life was so hectic that I couldn't do one post...I'd add another- yes, makes perfect sense!)

Can I get a "woot" from the crowd? Thank you!

Okay, so I was just poking around ZGalleries website and found these super hilarious Food Face Plates. Who knew playing with your food could look so cute?!

Tray day!

Have noticed that everywhere you look people are using trays?! (You haven't noticed? Well then you just aren't looking close enough; here. Lemme help you out...) We will start our tray-tour with some reasonably priced pieces...all the way up to less, er, reasonably (?) priced pieces (you know what I'm trying to say, those supa dupa pricey pieces...)

Lets start with a fun one from CB2.com (Crate and Barrels less expensive little brother store...)
- How cute is their scroll red tray? (Also comes in white; oooh! Yes please!)


Over at ZGallerie.com they've got the CUTEST white peacock tray! How great would this look on a black coffee table? Or leaned on your mantel against the wall? Oooh, the possibilities!

Check out Macy's Nambe Handled Tray. As luck would have it, I cannot copy the picture, but trust me. Take a few seconds to click on the link and you'll be in love. Its sleek. Its modern. Its perfect. Ahh, a work of art all by itself!

And, since we are talking about trays today, why not point out a super cute (and functional!) ice cube tray from ThinkGeek.com.

Happy tray day!

Bargain shopping

So I'm wandering around some websites to find some great buys for my bargain shopping today. If you read my past b.s. post (HAHA! I didn't even realize the abbreviation was b.s.! hehe; okay, moving on!)

There was a comment (from my oldest friend) that even though the price on the lamp was a "bargain"...it would be hard to convince her hubby to spend $299 on a lamp. I totally agree.

Which is why today's bargain shopping post is an actual bargain that people (like, everyone I know) can actually afford!

Drum roll please...



I found these under the sea pillows from overstock.com and thought, "Gosh, $19.99 a pillow, that's a great price for such cute pillows!" and then I started poking around other sites to see how expensive they were. I hit a wall. I couldn't find another pillow even similar. Untiiiiiiil I got to Pottery Barn's site.



SIMILAR pillows from POTTERY BARN for only, (hold your breath!) $11.99! WHA?!

Now that's a bargain!

Col, show the hubs and let me know what he thinks about this weeks find!!

Did you see "Up"?




Thanks to the hubs for finding this blog which featured this gorgeous wedding!

Enjoy browsing; I liked the invitation best and thought the little "balloons" on their cake were perfect bite-sized pieces of candy-goodness!

How beautiful was the bride?!

Bargain shopping

Welcome to the very first post of Bargain Shopping on Erinteriors! (wahoo!!)

This morning the light bulb went off.

You know when you read Vogue or Cosmo and they have one page that shows that celebrities wear (and the prices they paid) and then a more reasonably priced alternative for the layman?

I figured I would start Bargain Shopping Wednesdays after looking for a floor lamp and coming across identical lamps, with a huge price tag difference! My philosophy, why pay more?

(insert drum roll please)

First lamp is from ethanallen.com. Its their retro photographers lamp; and its funky, vintage-looking and perfect if you have $599 to drop on a lamp. But, since its Bargain Shopping Wednesday, check out ZGallerie.com's studio tripod floor lamp for only $299!!



If you were putting this lamp in your family room, imagine what else you could buy with $300!!
