Remember those two blue chairs I picked up from Home Goods? I loved their shape and size and knew they were great for in front of our fireplace. The added seating really helps in our living room when we entertain. I also appreciate that the conversation area is not all facing the television. So the blue babies looked like this in the store: With the addition of upholstery nails, they have much more character and I love the little added bling. With some persistence, a patient husband and a little elbow grease . . . .they came out just as I had hoped. For tips and a step by step on how to add nail head trim you can go here. before after I also found this great lamp at Home Goods {love that place!}. I snatched it up the second I saw it. It has the appearance of mercury glass and is especially beautiful at night. Only $40. And I couldn’t myself out of the reflection no matter how hard I tried! Have you found any fun finds this week? The temperatures are heating up so it’s off to the pool for us today! …………………………………………………………………………………………..

The nailhead trim was the perfect touch on those chairs. They're beautiful and a little more dressed up now. Nicely done, Courtney! I love both of your throw pillows. Beautiful lamp, too! Have a great day at the pool. We've had a hot spell of 90-100s for the last several days.
