Fridays Finest Finds in Memphis

Here's to you Libby...

King Size Cane Headboard $300 (i have been in love with this bed from ballard designs for ever and if i lived in Memphis, boy would i be tempted to buy it. although black wouldn't suit my bedroom, so i would have to paint...maybe teal)

The image below is from the Ballard Designs website, so gorgeous with black and white bedding and white walls...

Asian Rug 9 x12 $475 (this is a wow kind of rug, so stunning and would look incredible in the right space...lovin' the greek key image)

Entire Room for $750  (i would just ask for the large sofa alone because it is all a little too matchy matchy for me)

Here's an simple yet stunning inspirational image for the above sofa...
Cassandra of Coco and Kelley

Thick Glass Coffee Table $100 (this coffee table fascinated me and i think painted gold or silver it would be an awesome conversation piece)

See how gorgeous the above coffee table could look in silver...
David Jimenez

2 French Chairs $50 (wow what a fabulous price. these wouldn't need a lot of fabric, so a reupholstering wouldn't be too expensive)

A coat of creamy white paint and hot pink velvet could turn the chairs above into pure awesomeness like the chair in this bedroom...

Or if you like a more classic look then white on white with nail heads always looks chic...

Solid Oak Dresser $175 (i would ask for way less, because this bad boy needs some serious paint)

2 Regency Side Chairs $20 (sorry to all those that think painting antiques is a huge no no, but i'm thinkin' paint again)

And here is a fabulous example how paint can transform the chairs above into something swoon worthy...
Eddie Ross (aren't these chairs stunning?)

2 West Elm Lamps $80 (simple lamps that would look great with most decor, i would probably offer less because i see myself spray painting them a fun color like turquoise or yellow, but the matte gun metal is cool too)

2 Black with Gold Lining Lampshades $20 (new lampshades are super pricey and old lampshades are usually not in the best condition, so if i were in Memphis i would mos def pick these up)

Custom Pink Sofa and Chaise $250 (thank goodness i don't live in Memphis, because these would be bought in a blink of an eye. i love this sofa and in a warm white room with lots of gold accents it would be cool)

Here's an inspirational image for the above sofa, although my tree would be real...

Amy Howard Designer Chairs $950 (i know pricey, but wow these are fabulous and all ready for the perfect dining room)

Venetian Mirror $1250 (i am really not sure if the price is appropriate, but do your research if you want it. also you have to see what the lady who is selling it wrote...it was her grandmothers mirror. why oh why would she sell it???? if that was my grandmothers and handed down to me, i would never in a million years sell it. it really made me so sad when i read that)

If you can't convince the seller to keep the mirror above and you are in love with it like I am then here is a lovely inspirational image...

  2. Glad I don't have a bigger home, because I have a serious obsession with chairs and dressers and my basement is already filled with 3 dressers that I plan on painting and many chairs.
