Anthro Finds {Meet Lia and Get Shop Credit!}




In the midst of all our house projects, I'm also trying to redecorate one of our guest bedrooms. My love affair with Anthropologie is no secret, but unfortunately I have to control myself when shopping there because it could cause some serious damage. And then I'd be cut off from shopping-and I can't have that. Am I the only one that has a hard time shopping online there or in store without wanting one of everything?

Anywho, we have the awesome "LOVE" DIY Wood Artwork that we made a while back (click here to see that project) that is hanging over the bed, so I decided to go the rustic route with the other decorations.

Lately, I've been ooohing and aaahing over any and all rustic looking rooms.
I decided to buy these two beauties from Anthro...


Tree "K" Monogram

Repurposed wood frame


I'm also planning on hanging the burlap first dance picture frame
that I did for Billy for Easter in this room to go with them.

...and if someone wants to buy me this beautiful wood dresser
I wouldn't hate it.


Gorgeous.

What do you think about what I chose to spurce up the room?
I just wanted to add some subtle touches to add to the "love" wood artwork.


Do you love rustic rooms/decorations like I do?
or do you kinda hate it? (that is ok, too ;))

Any other recommendations for me?!
I'm all ears!


Moving on to the REAL point of today's post--
my awesome friend Lia (who is also from TX!) is here.
I've gotten to know Lia the past couple months and she is so sweet.
Lia is a pretty big deal here in the blog world...

a shop credit. We all love that, right? Right.

...time to meet Lia :)

  2. Okay I adore your love sign! Now I just need a handy man to help me put one together! Guess I'll call my Dad ;) Also, I could spend $1000's of dollars on Anthro's home goods. They are all so pretty and vintage looking. I die for their comforters!
    Happy Thursday sweet girl :)
