Shedding Some Light

This past weekend while shopping for a new bookcase, I came across this adorable Shabby Chic chandelier that I absolutely fell in love with. It's exactly what I was looking for (with a price tag to match) to complete that girly look I've been going for. My room is my haven and I love it. I know this style isn't for everyone, but I like it and that's all that matters! Oh, and don't worry that Katie and I installed this ourselves too. Yah, we're pretty much certified Electricians! And let's just talk for a minute about all the amazing deals I got on EVERYTHING in this space.

So what do you think? Pretty good bargains, huh? For me, part of the fun in decorating is finding the best product at an even better price. For some reason I always love my purchases so much more when I know I got such a ridiculously good deal on it. Unless it's that new $250 dress at Anthro that you just won't find anywhere else. Because in that case...I just charge it, wear it, and love it. I may be a bargain shopper, but let's get real. My taste ain't cheap.
