Little updates

ACK! I've been cleaning like a mad woman! I'm hosting a party just for the girls this weekend and am doing just what I swear I won't do every time we have a party.

Freaking out.

I mean, reeeeeally, my girlfriend's won't notice the dust bunnies in the corners.
Right?!

I've finished up a few projects over the past couple weeks I thought I would share with you this weekend. First, I got my tulips for this vase:
I love my birdies AnNicole! Now if the cat would just stop eating the flowers, that would be nice:

I recovered the ottoman from this post. Oh, hello loverly fabric:

THANK YOU Heldy for finding it for me!! I heart you! I have plans for the rest of the fabric I'll show you soon.

I found this mirror at Goodwill back before Christmas, and painted it months ago, but didn't know what to do with it. Tonight I grabbed some candles and made a mini-candlescape out of it for the table from my last post:

I love it!

I went ahead and got the white rugs for the bathroom, to match the curtain I showed you in this post. Ohhh, they are soooo soft and fluffy, heaven for our feet! I even put up a pretty towel for you all! But now all I can think of is that the towels don't match the white rugs and curtain.

Good. Lord.
And finally, I couldn't resist hanging another one of my new keys from another lamp. :)
Have a wonderful weekend! I hope your weather is going to be as beautiful as ours!

    And that is one of those cheapie, comes-with-every-bouquet-of-roses vase, huh?? You're so genius.

    Have a great weekend!!

    P.S.--Did you see my post about the NKOTB today?? :)

  8. Wow, you've done a lot! I'm the same way when people come over, though. I start to panic, the adrenaline kicks in and I'm a cleaning machine. I hope you're able to enjoy yourself. Sounds like fun!

    I'm glad you like the birdies. They look great in their new home.

    Love the mirror with the candles idea. I may need to "borrow" that one for sure.

    Have a fabulous weekend my friend.

  10. Good grief woman! Settle down. Really, I have no room to talk. I do this exact thing every single time I have a party. And I always vow to never freak out again, and I ALWAYS freak out and go overboard. I am positive that everything looks lovely...it always does. Have fun with the girls!

  11. Maybe I ought to invite some gals over. Do you think that would have me getting undone projects completed too? Does it come with a money back guarantee if not?!?

    Bleah. Good work! It's more fun watching you get stuff done anyway. :)

    Kudos on all the projects! Awesome!

  27. Thanks for stopping by my blog! When I read your comment, I was like "OMGosh! The Thrifty Decor Chick thinks my puppy wall hangings are cauuute!!!" and my husband was like, "who?". Haha! He's so far out of the loop ;-)

    Have a great Sunday! And no, your girlfriends are not going to notice your dust bunnies in the corners. But they might notice if the house is covered in toys, so try to avoid that :-)

  30. I feel your pain on the cat nibbling your flowers - mine do the same. And, my flowers are artificial - you think they'd get a clue :)
