Swine Flu! OINK OINK!!!

Hey ya'll! I just got back from giving H1N1 vaccines to the city of Louisville!  We gave over 15,000 vaccinations today! Well this is really off topic for my blog, but I realized tonight how many questions people had, so I thought I would answer the best I could...
Who should get the shot?

• Anyone can get the shot.  There is a different dose for kids under 3 years, but they are allowed to get it.  The shot is also for people that are pregnant, have allergies to eggs and have asthma, diabetes, kidney problems ect.  

Who should get the mist?

• Anyone who isn't pregnant, doesn't have allergies to eggs, and doesn't have asthma, diabetes, kidney, ect. problems.  
• Please don't be scared to receive the mist.  It actually is showing to have fewer side effects!  Help save the shots for people at high risk!

The difference between the two...

• The shot is not a live virus and the mist is a live virus.  

Kids under 9 need to follow up in 4 weeks with their health department to receive a booster to be completely vaccinated.

There is a lot more information... if you have any questions, post them and I can do my best to answer them.  I know it is scary trying a new vaccine, but I have come to the conclusion that this is a pretty scary virus that is spreading quickly.

Watch for me on the Louisville news tonight ;)

Veterans Day

I want to say a thanks to all the Veterans out there.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for serving our country!

THANK YOU!

Glamorous RED!

I know I just posted on subtle colors... but that was before I saw the new cover of Elle Decor!!  WOW! I'm obsessed!  I have new inspiration for my dining room!!!

I have never liked this much color, but this is done with such sophistication!  This set up is not at all too much!  Look at those window treatments! I really think I have a new project on my hands!

How great is this study?  Look at how great it looks with the greenery... easy Christmas decorating!

This definitely fits with my equestrian styling that I love so much!

Just a little eye candy for you all today, hope you enjoy!

Estate Find!

I mentioned on here that I stopped by an estate sale on Friday and found a couple of things that I was pretty excited about!
Here are some of the pieces that I took home with me....

This is sort of difficult to see in the picture, but this is a custom piece made out of solid walnut.  I haven't quite found it a home yet, but check back with me and hopefully I'll have found it a home and have given it a little style ;)

I found the two topiaries in this picture and bought them for (drum roll please....) $10.00!  I have been looking for a pair of topiaries for a while now and I haven't bought any because of their pricey tag thats attached to them!

And lastly.... See the painting???  I got that for $15.00! Sure its not my kinda art... but the frame is absolutely beautiful.  I couldn't find a frame like that for under $200!

When I got home, I decided to look up the artist in the painting on Google, just in case.... Turns out I have an original oil painting from artist Sally Haley.  Her paintings are quite big in Oregon and turns out her painting are worth quite a bit of money.... WHO KNEW!

So for now... the Victorian Lady will stay in the frame (my husband is not to excited about sleeping next to her... HA!)  until I can sell her.

Check out my sister's blog here to see her chic finds from the estate!

** One more thing... see the cherry stain on the chest of drawers?  I'm staining it next week so check back for a how-to!

LIVING SPACES TO DIE FOR!

I have always loved light and airy spaces.  I have never been a fan of bright colors, I find myself always  sticking with the grey's, white's, or any sort of neutral.  Below are some pictures that I have gathered that are amazing interiors and feature the neutral palette that I love!

Though this interior has neutral walls, it still has great pops of color that make the room come alive!  P.S. I LOVE the trim on the curtains!

I how neutral walls gives you a chance to really show off your fun and unique finds!

Khaki and white is sooo beautiful!  It definitely gives a french look to the room!

This might be my favorite.  I love the grey walls, I painted a similar shade through out my whole house!

So just remember next time that you are decorating a room, you don't always have to pick out a bright color... try a neutral so that other things can take center stage in a room!

Bamboo Tables

A couple of months ago, I did a quick run through of a local flea market.  I am known for getting very frustrated when going to these sort of places because I feel like I never find anything, but on this particular day I had a little bit of luck on my side!  I love anything bamboo, I think it gives a 70's feel but still very modern... So when I saw these two little tables I snatched them up!

I bought these tables for a whopping total of $5.00!!!!!  Sure they needed a little cleaning up, but for $5.00 I didn't care If they didn't work out!  The tables had no tops on them, so for $20 I had to get two pieces of glass cut for each of them.  

I think for a total of $25.00 these little tables are cute.  They still need more styling (a couple more books stacked and some other little trinkets) but for now they will do just fine!
So next time you get frustrated because every time you go looking for deal you come up empty handed, remember to keep trying because you never know what you may find the next trip around ;)
