Argh!!!!!!!!!

So not a happy camper folks!

You know how I previously posted about the cute Naples chest of drawers I ordered. Well, it arrived yesterday and I was super excited because I just ordered it on Tuesday.

Well, to my surprise it arrived in PIECES!

SERIOUSLY, the information specifically stated SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!

Really!?!?!

Oh, I AM SO pissed!

Why didn't they say ASSEMBLY REQUIRED, argh!!!!!

If I wanted to put a frickin' dresser together I would have ordered one from IKEA! Ugh!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I have a fun project ahead of me, NOT!

Wish me luck, ugh!!!!!!!

Fabulous Finds...

I have to say, I am very impressed with the SALES over at JOSS & MAIN. Awhile back I bought this adorable shelving unit:

I have to admit, when it arrived I thought it would be complete. Nope, assembly required. Obviously, I missed that in the description. LOL! Luckily, it was super easy to make and turned out great! Last night I bought this awesome Naples Chest over at JOSS & MAIN as well. The description says, partial assembly. I wonder what that means, LOL!

Can't wait to see what other great finds JOSS & MAIN has up their sleeves! If you aren't a member of JOSS & MAIN, feel free to click HERE. SALES are private and membership is FREE! Have a great day! ~ PLD

Ahhhhhh!

Good Morning!

How's the weather near you? It's around 65 degrees and rather gloomy here in Chicago.

That's okay, as long as I can still wear my Jack Rogers Black Label Navajo sandals, it's all good! LOL!

This morning I decided to change things up and take a break from all my Louis Vuitton and Gucci purses and use one of my vintage Kate Spade purses. I bought the purse back in '99 or maybe it was '00 over at Neiman Marcus? Can't remember, I haven't used it in years.

Isn't it cute! I loved usigng it back when I was obsessed with Kate Spade back in the late 90's.

I just love the black and white stripes and the red leather under the strap and also on the bottom of the purse. Such a fun little purse, I should use it more often!

Have a wonderful Friday!

Taking another stab at blogging...

Hey there, hope you are enjoying the Summer!

It's be a hot one here in Chicago! So the cooler temps this week has been nice! No complaints here, LOL!

I have decided to take another stab a posting on my blog.

On the note, here's a sneak peak of my desk at my new house:

Yup, I have been pretty much painting and decorating since October, hence my blog hiatus!

Not to mention, we adopted a puppy back in November and the little guy has taken up much of my time. The little guy turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. Yes, we had a birthday party for him, LOL! Ordered invitations from www.paperstyle.com and the whole 9 yards! Good time had be all!

Hard to believe July is almost over and August is around the corner!

Oh well, just thought I would pop in and say, "Hello!"

about time...

sorry, can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post!

yikes!!!! at least it's been for a good reason, i guess? lol! during this time we closed on our new house and have since moved in. we are not completed unpacked, but that will come with time.

we've had quite a bit of work around the house. we also had the carpet pulled up in the bedrooms on the 2nd floor and had all the hardwood floors one the 1st and 2nd floors sanded and stained. so nice to have hardwood floors again!!!

i've also been busy picking out paint colors. pretty much everything i have chosen and have used is from benjamin moore. can't for the life of me remember any of the names at the moment. i will post about that later.

our kitchen is still a work in progress. we bought new bosch stainless appliances that have been installed for a couple of weeks, but haven't been able to use them since we don't have any countertops and a sink. thankfully, the granite will be installed on friday! so ready to start cooking again!

as promised, below is an image of the moving announcement i created at www.paperstyle.com. great company! can't beat the speedy shipping either! if anyone has any discount codes for this company, i would love to use them for my christmas cards. hint! hint! ;)

sorry, you can see the fabulous font i used for our name. i also covered up a new address for obvious reasons. i love it! i think it turned out great!

oh well, i promise to resume to my normal blogging shortly.

take care and stay safe, esp. if you are in sandy's path! unfortunately she's heading our way!

later!

i am so excited to move and use my pinterest ideas to use, lol!!!

needless to say, i spent the day packing!

ugh, BORING!!!!  i bought some more recycle bags from homegoods.these bags are great for moving! i don't know about you but i am obsessed with these bags!!! i have probably purchased 50 over the past 3.5 years! lol!
