What's Good In Your Hood {Albany}

Hey friends! How were your weekends? Mine flew by and I was super busy {presenting at the St. Louis Working Women's Survival Show}, but that's how I usually like them. I could use a weekend to rest from my weekend, though! I'm sure many of you know that feeling!

Today our craigslist search takes us to Albany, NY. Let's do it!

Giveaway Time

I've been loving blue and gray this year in a major way! Like many bloggers have done, I too have embraced the wonderful jewel-toned cobalt blue with open arms! It has a richness like no other but is still bold and fun! Totally my style. : )

Well, lucky for you, my two favorite colors teamed up in the form of a pair of earrings for this great KateBobate giveaway!

Hardware Help

I'm not so sure I ever talked about our new-to-us vintage bedroom nightstands. They were a craigslist find {surprise, surprise!} and as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted them.

Photobucket

For a couple weeks they sat with their original pulls {which weren't terrible by any means}, but ever since seeing Lindsay and Aubrey's nightstands I have wanted drop ring pulls.

Recently I ordered enough to replace the old pulls and I am pleased with the mini-makeover!

Photobucket

It's the little things that make me smile. Enjoy your Thursday, friends!

What's Good In Your Hood {Hudson Valley, NY}

First, I'm battling a fever that just won't go away so I was silent in the blogoshpere comment forms yesterday! I'm home sick from work today trying to get some much needed rest and kick this fever and achy body. I will definitely hop around to catch up on what I missed! Love you, guys!! : )

Happy happy hump day! Our search takes us to Hudson Valley, New York today. I hope New York yields as many fun finds as South Carolina did on Monday!

Pier One Pretties

Two weekends ago we had absolutely gorgeous weather so we decided to spend the day gallivanting around town. David and I lunched with our best friend and did some shopping {as did the rest of the world--I haven't seen that area so busy since Christmastime!} afterward.

We stopped into Pier 1 and I snapped some pics of things that caught my eye. I only picked up one gift for a dear friend who is most likely the cutest pregnant lady ever. I can't wait to send it her way for her soon-to-come baby boy. Once I mail it, and she gets it, I'll post a pic. It's adorable, promise.

As I was perusing the store these coasters jumped out at me. I like the design, but I like even more the option to pick and choose the quantity and colors for yourself. Brilliant, Pier 1!

Photobucket

I really liked this tray and snapped a pic for my sister-in-law. She and her husband just closed on their new home and I thought this would be perfect for their living room ottoman!

Photobucket

Owls, elephants, and birds make me happy....even in salt and pepper shaker form. : )

Photobucket

I love this headboard and it's on sale for $99! Someone has to snag this one. You know my love for bamboo! Of course, I think it'd be more fun painted a fun color!

Photobucket

Loving this floral lamp so much! It was too expensive for my tastes and I was not a fan of the shade, but I couldn't help but fall in love with the pattern. Waiting for a supersale...

Photobucket

I saw this rug and immediately I loved the floral pattern. But I really liked it for my sister and brother in law's new place! What do you think, Em? A new kitchen rug perhaps? ; )

Photobucket

Last but not least, I fell in love with this mirror. I didn't happen to see a pricetag, and I definitely did not need it, but I'm hoping someone I know picks it up. It's a beaut!

Photobucket

Oh, and not a Pier 1 find, but I did snag a pair of never-worn shoes at the Goodwill for $6! I've already worn them twice and I love them. Sweet!

Photobucket

xoxo

p.s. I wasn't contacted by Pier 1 to do a plug for them, I honestly saw these great finds last week and wanted to share! : )

What's Good In Your Hood {Columbia/Lexington, SC}
