Living Social

I just had to share this with you all.  It's just that awesome!!!!

By now everyone should be well acquainted with Living Social.  If you aren't lower your head in shame and make it a point to sign up for the site TODAY! In a nutshell, living social offers some pretty amazing deals at uber discounted prices for a limited amount of time.  It's a win-win for the consumer and the company.  Its excellent marketing and exposure for the company and the opportunity to benefit unprecedented deals. 

To date I have purchased deals from Fresh Bakery, Basignani Winery (can't wait to use this one!), and Merritt Athletic Club (allows me to take aqua zumba, yay!).  My latest Living Social steal deal was so awesone, I just had to blog about it.

In this previous post, I blogged about a fab bed I found in the gloriousness that is Nouveau.  Nouveau is a contemporary home furnishings store in  Belvedere Square here in Baltimore.  They have the most unique contemporary pieces.  I love it.  BTW, the bed from the previous post was a little over $4,000, but is now on clearance for a little over $1,300 - unbelievable.

Well imagine my excitement when my daily living social deal came through a week or so ago and it was for Nouveau.  The deal was spend $75 (to purchase the voucher) and get a $200 to spend in the store.  Sounds unbelieveable right?? Well believe it.  I brought one and because mommy is the best she brought one!  She said...and I quote, "I figure $400 is better than $200." Gotta love that little lady. :-)

I have until December 2013 to use the certificates, but of course mommy and I just couldn't help ourselves and we went by the store to see if anything peaked our interests.  Of course a few things caught our eyes, but we decided to hold off for now. 

Do you see now why i say you have to sign up for Living Social???

I will keep you guys posted on what we end up purchasing with the voucher.

DIY To-Do List

Mommy and I have an ever growing DIY To-Do List for the house.  So far we have the following on our list:

#1 Re-upholstering Chair

#2 Sanding and Staining Desk

#3 Painting Bookshelf

#4 Upholstered Headboard (for guest room)

#5 Making decor/throw pillows (for the couch)

We are adding things to the list, but not marking anything off.  So we took a vow to mark at least 1 of these items off the list this week.  It will likely be the Bookshelf or the Desk. 

So, I drafted this post over a week ago and sat on it for so long that we actually managed to mark a few things off the list.  The desk is done and so is the bookshelf.  I also started making the decor/throw pillows.  I will do a separate post for each project.


Stay tuned for pics...

Furniture Find

Remember the Carrie Bradshaw post I did including the to die for shagreen bed?  If you need a refresher you can find it here.  Well imagine my surprise when mommy and I walked in Nouveau (Belvedere Square, Baltimore City) earlier this week and I found myself standing face-to-face with this beauty:

Very similar to the Brian Watford bed...see:

The material of the nouveau bed is velvet and it is quite stunning in person.  Note:  The picture isn't the best because I didn't want the store clerks to think I was crazy, lol.

Now...seeing the bed wasn't the only surprise...the price tag was the real surprise.  A whopping $4095 (approximately, I think my eyes crossed when I saw the price in addition to some other bodily reactions, lol).

I don't know about ya'll...but that's just a little too rich for my blood.  Yeah that's right...just a little.
