Hey bargain shoppers, it’s time for another weekend giveaway, but first I’m announcing the winners of last weekend’s RustOleum Cabinet Transformations giveaway.  Congratulations to #195 Beckie at JolieJonque and #909 Brianna at Real Mountain Values. 

This weekend’s giveaway is brought to you by Joss & Main, have you heard of them? 

If you’re familiar with One King’s Lane, then you get the emails that show the daily sales going on for great designer home goods and accessories. Same idea here!  I signed up for Joss & Main at the beginning of the year, and I’ve been getting their daily emails, announcing all the newest sales on top designer goods.  I was excited when Joss & Main found me and offered a giveaway to all of you, I said, ‘Bring it!’ 

Today, two lucky winners will get a $100 shopping spree to spend at Joss & Main.

One of my most favorite things to do in life (other than snack on Girl Scout cookies by the dozen and ignore the scale) is to surf the net or discount stores hunting for high end looking décor for a great price.  Raise you hand if you share my love of snagging something stylish for a bargain?  Oh, all of you. 

I’m a huge fan of Style at Home and I frequently pop over to see what’s new and inspiring.  There’s always something!  Seleta blogged about this space earlier this week, and it’s one of many in a favorite series over at SOH called ‘High/Low’ where they feature two practically identical spaces, one designed for top dollar, and the other at a much lower cost.

Take for example this garden room.  Here is the High version at $9,937 and Low version to the right at $3,109

Here’s another . . .

. . . and another. 

Can you tell which is which?

Thanks friends for all the kind comments on the boy’s room!  As promised, here’s a recap of all the projects that went into the space over the last six months, with questions answered plus the source guide.

I love the rug. Where can I find it?  ~ Maria, Beth & Brenda

I do too, it’s my favorite accent in the room.  The cotton rug adds both a boyish stripe and a coastal feel.  The rug is the 6’ x 9’ Woven Caravan Stripe by Dash & Albert.

I’ve been falling asleep in this space for a few nights, I just can’t help it!  I find snuggling up with my little guy in this room late at night completely irresistible.  It’s here where I learn all his secrets, his battle plans, and if I listen carefully, the location of buried treasure.  It seems everyone in our house has been spending more hours in this room lately, especially the resident to whom it belongs, our five year old son.

Last year we said goodbye to the soft blue nursery walls, and upgraded to a more mature, more intense teal blue, and the completion of the board and batten treatment last week enhances the color even more.  I wanted it to be a bright clean happy place, one where he could adventure and explore.  A room where he could not only display everything he loves right this very moment, but one that would also adapt to his changing interests over time.

Want the grand tour of our boy’s room?   Come on in!
