A Peek Inside Part 2

buffet2

Today we find ourselves back in my dining room! I've always been in love with mid century furniture, so when I saw this beauty of a buffet, I knew it had to be mine! That little thrift store I talk about all the time...you know Thrift Store USA...had this in their furniture department with an $80.00 sticker on it, marked down from $200. I'm guessing most people were discouraged with the thought of taking off that horrible bird painting on it, so the price dwindled down to $80.

Now it's my place to keep my crafty stuff and also my interesting knick knacks I pick for myself. Oh yeah, and also for it's original purpose as a buffet for little get-togethers. As you can see, I pick out the most ridiculous things to keep on display. The little lamb is something I found at the Goodwill Outlet in a bucket of crap, and couldn't say no. It was an impulse buy for sure.

I have to say, that I was a little worried about trying to come up with something interesting for today's outfit, since I'm starting to loose some steam with outfit ideas. It's these last few days where I'm scratching my head trying to decide if I had already worn this outfit before. I don't want to copy myself during my 30 for 30 challenge since that would defeat the whole purpose. A little creativity needed to be done in the accessory department for sure. I have scarves, belts, hats, and jewelry to adorn myself, so that should totally be sufficient enough.

A Peek Inside--A Series

So I thought I'd do a little series where I take you on a tour of my home! All the while I'll still be finishing the 30 for 30 challenge and doing my regular outfit shoots! I take a lot of pride in my pretty abode and thought I'd share little snippits with you all. It's so much fun collecting little oddities from thriftstores or antique stores and I feel like it gives my place some character. Maybe it will inspire you, maybe it won't but hopefully you'll enjoy it.

And here I am in my favorite chair! It was a gift from my friend 'D' who had bought the chair from a thriftstore and her husband pretty much proclaimed his disdain for the thing, so now its mine! The color, the shape and the fact that it swivels are just some of my favorite qualities. So, here I sit!

Of course, I still want to talk about my outfit! Remix number 25 is a pretty simple ensemble, but I love how I matched my shoes to my outfit with the cream and black. It was pretty much an accident, but I figured it would be fun to just roll with it. I added the pop by adding a few bracelets and the Clydes Rebirth necklace to my look and I was good to go.
