Throw Pillow Love

Does anyone else obsess over finding the perfect throw pillows? I have spent months looking for throw pillows for our couch. I even bought some and haven't loved and sent them back. 

But I think I have found a fun combination for our living room couch.  

These were ordered from Joss & Main today! They were sold as a pair. Can't wait until they come!

 This pillow I found at Home Goods a few weeks back. Well not this exact pillow, but a similar one with this pattern. This particular pillow can be found on Etsy.

And this one is from West Elm. This was the most expensive on for $34.00 - and free shipping!

I know I will love the West Elm and Joss and Main pillows together, but I'm not sure about my Home Good fine. I will post a picture next week when everything is here and you can let me know if they work together.

Have a great weekend!

Dark Wood or Sleek White Wood

In the near future will be making over our half bath. It's a small space so I'm hoping to add a big wow factor. We already picked out and purchased the floor tile.

The tile is a marble hexagon from Tile City. We loved the hexagon shape and the light variations of greens, blues and grays in the tile. 

Here is a good photo of a already finished bathroom with the same tile.

Now the big issue and what is stalling us is a) - finding a vanity we can afford (wow why are vanities so expensive) and b) - should we use a white vanity or a vanity with a dark stain?

 We are loving this vanity from Pottery Barn (above) but sadly it WAY out of our price range. But we did find an interesting DIY tutorial at Knock of Decor. Not sure if we are that brave!

Also loving this vanity from Overstock. I love the big white sink and dark wood. I think we would need a vanity with more storage, but I'm digging the white against the dark stain. 

What are you thoughts? What type of vanity would look best with our new tile? Any tips where I can get a cheap nice vanity or a anyone know a good Carpenter in Pittsburgh, PA that can build me the knock off Pottery Barn Vanity? 

P.S. Please forgive me, some links are not working and I can't seem to figure out why. But all sources are listed!

Changes

 It's my birthday weekend so I decided all the "old stuff" around here need freshing up! So I updated the background (love me some chervon) and put up a current picture on my profile. Not sure what the big plans are for this weekend but I hope it means lots of time with my husband and baby girl!

Promise to be back soon with new projects ( I know stop saying that and do it already!).

Happy Weekend!

Brick of How I Love You

I LOVE LOVE brick walls. Every home we looked at when we were house hunting I hoped for exposed brick walls. Unfortunate, our new house doesn't have any. But since we love our new house so much, I will add it to my wish list to add a faux brick wall someday.

Perhaps in a Bathroom?

Or our Master Bedroom?

Or an accent wall in the kitchen? We have the perfect wall for a brick accent wall! White cabinets and brick make my heart beat!

Oh and don't forget a brick wall in the dinning room.

And my personal favorite a vintage brick wall. Also on my Pinterest page.

What is on your wish list?

Happy Easter

We are visiting family for Easter. Can't wait to visit with them and eat some good food (lots of great cooks in our families).

Since we will not be home to host Easter dinner, I will dream about what our table will look like someday if we do (and just for the record hosting a dinner like that scares me to death - so I doubt we will be doing that anytime soon).

New Addtion

Close to our home, Levin Furniture store set up a temporary clearance center. They have brought all the clearance furniture from all there stores in Pennsylvania. This store is HUGE and there are many deals on furniture, decorative accessories and mattress. The store is only open on the weekend, so the past two weeks in a row we have been taking a look for a new coffee table. So far we haven't found a coffee table but we did find a new chair.

The chair was originally $450 and we got it for $108. I plan to put the chair in our master bedroom, but at the moment baby girl's crib is in there so I see it floating around the house for a while.

We plan to keep going back to the clearance center every weekend to see if any new ideas come in (we are told there will be lots of new items coming in every week). If you live in the Pittsburgh area and would like to know where the Levin's Clearance center is email me at beautifulhaven@gmail.com.

Mamma Needs Advice

Calling all mom's - I need advice ASAP. My sweet baby girl is having sleeping problems. For the past 4-5 weeks she has been a very restless sleeper. She tosses and turns until she wakes herself up. She will not put herself back to sleep, but will go back to sleep when I pick her up. 

She went from sleeping all night to now up every 1-2 hours.  She doesn't seem effected by this change.  But I am going into zombie mode. She naps twice a day anywhere between 1-3 hrs. Her bedtime is between 7:30pm and 8:00 pm (sometimes she pushes that back, but not too often). She is a good eater (baby food and formula) and normally goes to sleep with out any problems. Once I get her down to sleep at night she will sleep for 3 or 4 hours than start getting up every 1-2 hours.

Also she doesn't have any teeth yet. I see her two bottom teeth under the gums, so I'm sure they will be here soon. Is teething to blame? What can I do to get her sleeping restfully? Please tell me this will pass!

FYI she is 8 months old today. Swaddling will not work, she never liked it.
