friday faves [buyers regrets]

Friday, November 19, 2010

here's a quick post on some pretty things i found while window shopping awhile back that at that moment i stopped, stared, contemplated and refrained myself for giving in as i know i was not sure if my home has a corner, a spot or a nook for any of these. looking back now, i have regrets not picking them up (and i was crazy enough to take pics and file them for more torture). here they are :

Pretty for a white room

this lovely yellow piece would surely add a pop of color to any drab space. they were $ 25 found at tuesday morning last summer. and there were two of them too. it'd be so lovely against a navy and white striped wall on top of a white lacquered credenza. just saying...aarrggh.

Crazy pattern love

i was drawn to these two slipper chairs mainly because they were upholstered in this most amazing patterned fabric. i just cant find a spot for them in my house - booo!

Kids glam chairs in purple

although i got the fuschia pink one to add a touch of whimsy to our guest room, these two purple ones would be so glam for a little girl's bedroom. the chair's shape is so grown up but the huge button bling screams little princess!

bargain hunt

again, here are two chairs i so loooove. sshh be quiet, but my husband does not know that i'm slowly moving my crafts stuff and laptop over to his office (which he NEVER uses, btw). i am inching closely to totally taking over that office and convert to my own mom cave that i so need. these two charis would have been perfect for that space and as you can tell i love lavender and purple and i am just so sad about letting this go when i first saw them. oh well...

I do that sometimes, too. I think, "why didn't I get that when I had the chance?" I like to think about things a while before I buy them, and sometimes, it actually can be a bad thing (when I realize I should've gotten it but now it's gone). I get it from my dad.

YES!!!!!!! There is an amazing sear sucker chair at Pier 1 with nailheads that I should have bought for my son's room. Ahhh, the regret. those purple chairs are fantatsic. Such a diverse selection.

How many times have I regretted not buying something?!?! It's awful, but at the same time, we don't have room to store things 'just because'. So it's really a give and take.

I'm jealous that you have figured out a mom-cave! The husband agrees that I need a crafting room, but the only place in the house that I could use would have to be totally gutted and re-done. Needless to say, it's not getting done any time soon. Boo!

Oh those long lost items!! A pair of bamboo barstools on craigslist! I should have got them-they were a steal! Thanks for stopping by design blooms!

Yes, I do that all of the time, especially with clothes! So now if there is one small part of me that wants to buy something, especially if it's a good deal, I go ahead and buy it and then staple the receipt to the price tag. I give myself one week to wear the item, and if it remains unworn, I just return it.
