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)

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...

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)

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)

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)
