Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Besides a commitment on Saturday morning, we enjoyed a relaxed weekend with beautiful weather. I have to admit my OCD kicked into high gear as I realized my daughter’s room was majorly unorganized. I kept finding myself asking her to pick up. Then it occurred to me that the poor child really lacked a good system for her closet and toys. So we drastically changed all of that. Will show you some photos tomorrow. But in working on her room, we accidentally bought a high gloss white expedit from Ikea. What???? Am I the last one on Earth to know these magnificent shelving units come in high gloss now. It’s gorgeous. I wouldn’t think twice about using a high gloss white one in a living room or entry way. It looks so high end and is really really pretty. It’s almost impossible to see the glossy finish in these photos, but believe me, it is darn beautiful. It comes in gray, white, and red. 
Oh, and while shopping for a client, I stumbled upon these darling striped drapes from Pottery Barn. I still receive many emails about our dining room striped drapes. These come in a couple of colors and are darling. Just thought you should know. 
And Pottery Barn Kids has some really great rugs right now. I hadn’t taken a look in a while. They have a great variety and their chevron rug looks to be a great quality. 
So you know you’re a blogger when you are cruising through a store and see something amazing and shout, “Wait. Do people know about this?!” My hubby totally laughs at me, but I feel like I want to shout from the rooftops when I see cool stuff. So that’s my round up of latest finds for the week! Hope some are new to you. Have a great day.
Great chevron rugs….I have been thinking about DIYing one like that navy & white one above. I love the punch it gives to a room.
Ha! Yes, I saw the high gloss grey bookcase and was like "whoa"! When did this happen?! They are super fab. They are so glossy that you can see yourself in it (the grey).
Now, the rugs and drapes from PB, I need to check them out. Thanks for the heads up!
Love those rugs! It is so exciting to find something new isn't it? Recently I just discovered that Restoration Hardware has a kids division. I had no idea! Have a great week!

I love the high gloss in the grey! I love the chevron too!
I haven't seen them in high gloss yet! Good to know – I need some shelving for my basement – maybe I'll grab a couple of these!
LOVE the Expedit shelves…if only I had a place for them in our house! The chevron rugs are super cute too! 🙂
I bought a high gloss expedit a couple weeks ago and was so thrilled when I saw it! I didn't know where I was going to use it at the time but told hubby I would find a space. Love those curtains and rugs! Have a great week, Courtney.
I totally hear you on the "wait! Do people know about this???" thing. (c: I usually don't tell the hubby, though, because he really does think I'm crazy about all this stuff! I can't wait to see the little lady's new and improved room! (c:
Ooh I did NOT know about the high gloss expedit – so happy I do now!
I had no idea they came in high gloss. Now I'm staring at mine and wishing it was shiny!
A symbol of nationalism can be sense on its looks.

Dude I feel the same way! Like…other people must know about this!
Loving the pottery barn rugs…
I hate that Charleston doesn't have an ikea. Those bookshelves are awesome. I might need to make a trip To Charlotte.
Great rugs! I have always loved Pottery Barn but I, too, recently discovered PB's "younger siblings". Have you been to Pottery Barn Teen? So many fun accent colors for summer decorating (especially when your favorite color is turquoise) – and cheaper than regular PB. I covet everything in the color "pool"… Love your blog!
