The Jury's Still Out...

On the headboard I've been wanting for months. I finally bought it. Not sure if I totally like it, even after two weeks. Whadya think?

It's not the one I originally wanted from Target dot com. That one was $150 MORE than this one, which I thought was even overpriced a bit. Maybe I would've been happier with that one regardless of the whopping price tag. On a positive note, reading in bed has been more comfortable, at least...

I also ordered the plates I'd had my eye on for a while for the dining room. The plates I had up each had a different pink and green floral print on them. I wanted something more vintage-y looking, and I found these dessert plates at Dishes DelMar. I shouldn't gotten bigger plates, but I am such a tight-wad! The smaller dessert plates were much cheaper. All of them except the one with the pattern were made in West Virginia. The patterned one is Franciscan Starburst, which was made around the same time as the others. The others are vintage Fiesta, vintage Harlequin, both made by Homer Laughlin China, and vintage Lu-Ray made in the 40's and 50's by Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company, also of Chester, West Virginia.

I'm still looking for a light fixture I like that doesn't cost $800. I need to get rid of the wood-shade. Maybe something made from capiz... Hmm.
