Thought I would share some of the pieces that are making their way home to the house on the park.

| White Denim Slip-Covered Wing Chair |
Ever since I purchased my Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams slip-covered Alexa couch, I am obsessed --- OBSESSED IN CAPS LOCK --- with white denim slip covers. So much so I have a bolt of the stuff in my closet like it's the golden fleece. No really. I do. DH thinks this is weird, but has no idea that I'm actually being efficient by keeping my own stash. But I do these things for these reasons -- An awesome thrifted find! I found a great wing chair with good bones and beautiful hand-carved legs and am having it re-upholstered exactly to this. It will be my Mommy Chair. It's hard for me to get tired of white slipcovers. I loooove them. Next...
This French Laundry lumbar pillow is a One King's Lane score and features a beautiful fabric reminiscent of french countrysides and easy living --- and will be perfect to cuddle up with on my wing chair! I love
One King's Lane! Seriously, if you're not on
OneKingsLane.com, get on it now. This flash sale website is awesome and features tag sales of vintage and found items from well-known designers, as well as great deals on pillows, throws, furniture, tabletop items --- you name it. Your items are packed beautifully and arrive like a present, ready to open and always include a little thank you gift. I'm burning a beautiful candle from them right now in Sweet Tobacco. I would never have thought about that scent, but that's the beauty of a little gift, right? You get something you love you never thought about picking out yourself. I love little surprises like that!
Another great find was this Union Jack pillow. Yes, Union Jacks are trendy right now, but at $25, I can afford a little trend in my life. I like the muted color tones in this one. In particular, that blue-grey background is fabulous. It reminds me of the Union Jack dressers some people are talented enough to paint and create. Amazing! If I made a Union Jack dresser, it would be in greys and blue-greys like this.
Another look I love right now is that Old World, grain sack look this pillow is sporting. Again, right on-trend but at a reasonable price. I want to layer it in with the pillows I already have in the family room. The other awesome plus about the price? I'll have no worries when my eight-year old uses it to build a fortified wall against his little brother. What I'm working towards is a look similar to this Olioboard mock up I put together for our family room.
Most of the elements are already there. See?

Last awesome find are these apothecary bottles. They are so
odd, I heart them. I heart them
bad. I see them adding a little bit of off-kilter cool to our normal surroundings.
Find anything awesome lately? Share!
