Post-Turkey: Where Have We Been?

Thanksgiving time is the busiest time for us at Affordable Interior Design. Everybody wants their apartments completed by the holiday.  Additionally, everybody wants to buy things during the Black Friday sales.  So we have been nuts over here.  Kelsey and I are both taking a couple of much-needed days off.  That means now I can relax and blog a little bit.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tl04G0q5Dds/Upjr9mfyRhI/AAAAAAAADos/3du5OAGUpFA/s1600/2881-large_Thanksgiving+Hangover+Sandwich.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tl04G0q5Dds/Upjr9mfyRhI/AAAAAAAADos/3du5OAGUpFA/s400/2881-large_Thanksgiving+Hangover+Sandwich.jpg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0VJARmlVvNM/Upjr_VPgkWI/AAAAAAAADo0/6s4L6Kk5tC4/s1600/images1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0VJARmlVvNM/Upjr_VPgkWI/AAAAAAAADo0/6s4L6Kk5tC4/s400/images1.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>

Kelsey's Pick: Seasonal Smells

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I love decorating my home for the holidays!  Apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice candles placed inside West Elm's Hurricane Vases (each $6, were $14) are perfect.  What a super 'scent-er-piece'!</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J3mB1eN8I5c/UoKChX1Z_MI/AAAAAAAADoU/EhOa2xQh08w/s1600/img41o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J3mB1eN8I5c/UoKChX1Z_MI/AAAAAAAADoU/EhOa2xQh08w/s400/img41o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-88-QAsXexrQ/UoKCkFxAmFI/AAAAAAAADoc/1GgzR3byAaw/s1600/photo-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-88-QAsXexrQ/UoKCkFxAmFI/AAAAAAAADoc/1GgzR3byAaw/s400/photo-2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

Happy Birthday to Me!

Saturday was my birthday!!  Hooray!!  That meant my husband walked the dog, I got cake, and I didn't do any design work.  However, I did treat myself to a little something special from West Elm:  their Rica Olive Oil Foot Butter ($14, was $22).  Buttery birthday feet.  Yum!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tG5pB96WCjs/Un0h5Z0HcVI/AAAAAAAADoE/Sbsdmlwt5dI/s1600/968881_10151497138547563_289792259_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tG5pB96WCjs/Un0h5Z0HcVI/AAAAAAAADoE/Sbsdmlwt5dI/s400/968881_10151497138547563_289792259_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EYSF91OzsmE/Un0hsngFUGI/AAAAAAAADn8/fYxgy0TX-8k/s1600/img16o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EYSF91OzsmE/Un0hsngFUGI/AAAAAAAADn8/fYxgy0TX-8k/s400/img16o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

WTF Friday: Crime Against Humanity!!

Somewhere someone is selling these chairs.  Even worse, somewhere someone is buying these chairs.  Shame on you Overstock.com!  I don't care if your Dafny Chrome Dining Chairs are $199 for 2 (were $300 for 2), this just isn't right.  Even if these were free, there is no way they would ever be a deal.  Ouch!  My eyes!! My eyes!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JibWYvZLDg8/Un0foj0obDI/AAAAAAAADno/ezE5C7ymtHA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-11-08+at+12.27.21+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JibWYvZLDg8/Un0foj0obDI/AAAAAAAADno/ezE5C7ymtHA/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-11-08+at+12.27.21+PM.png" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aLHGfYvdnX0/Un0fohcYXyI/AAAAAAAADns/-b8VliCNuJQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-11-08+at+12.27.34+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aLHGfYvdnX0/Un0fohcYXyI/AAAAAAAADns/-b8VliCNuJQ/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-11-08+at+12.27.34+PM.png" width="286" /></a></div>

Birthday Week!!

Hooray!  At long last, it is my birthday week.  (Husband, I hope you are reading this friendly reminder.)  So today I am going to feature something I have been longing for.  CB2's Color Stripe Rug is no longer such a splurge now that it is $349 (was $399).  If I needed a rug, it would be mine.  Gift idea alert, husband!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_WLF-YS9y7g/UnfArDqY-II/AAAAAAAADnQ/zsVnvDd06Wo/s1600/color-stripes-rug-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_WLF-YS9y7g/UnfArDqY-II/AAAAAAAADnQ/zsVnvDd06Wo/s400/color-stripes-rug-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jdLgAlMWABg/UnfArbKQC4I/AAAAAAAADnU/26C4XhG6PFc/s1600/color-stripes-rug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jdLgAlMWABg/UnfArbKQC4I/AAAAAAAADnU/26C4XhG6PFc/s400/color-stripes-rug.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
