We had such a busy January that I didn’t expect February to arrive so soon. I promised myself that in the winter we would get our indoor projects accomplished. We had better get busy!
I was gone this weekend at a swim meet in Cincy. One of the benefits to travelling for sports, is checking out the local shopping scene.
Cincy is home to IKEA and Ballard Design Outlet. I heart both.
We started at Ballard Design.
I have hated disliked this light fixture since we looked at this house. My Ballard Design catalog had been circled, starred and earmarked with what I loved.
Look at all the options at the outlet.
I love this baby. Just not for the space I need to fill.
Ballard Design Outlet was worth the trip. They run weekly specials that can result in significant savings.
This week, lighting was 30% off the lowest price. Rugs were 40% off. Bar stools 60%!
We came home with a light, 2 rugs and some gift items.
I think I wore my daughter out because we went to Ikea and it was a total bust! We ran through there stopping briefly but never long enough to pick up anything. Avoid shopping IKEA on Saturday at all cost!
A brief stop at Pottery Barn/West Elm Outlet resulted in more eye candy but nothing made it in my car.
Doesn’t she look thrilled? That’s how I look at swim meets!
Here is the rug I purchased:
It’s in the kitchen. I’m deciding if it will stay there.
Notice how I have quickly left the bathroom project (unfinished) and have started on the kitchen and dining area? It’s a bad disease I have. Lack of focus.
I have not been compensated in anyway from Ballard/Ikea/Pottery Barn. If they would like to offer me something, I will gladly accept!!
I need to finish some projects this week! Hope you are being productive!
