A good thing

Having books almost everywhere in our house it was time to find additional shelf space. Best without any extra costs! Remember, we just spending a little fortune on our walk way!



Particularly my design books are everywhere. I have them on my side table, desk and bookshelves, under the bed, under my desk, on the floor. Too scattered and unorganized.
After my son gave up one of the shelves in his room to make space for a larger bed I took it over! 
And although the family room is not big I think it fits quite well in my work area! Upright in his room I tipped it on its side and voila! Instant sideboard/bookshelf!



I really love it!


Wishing you all a sweet (vacation) week, filled with good things!

PRODUCT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: The Simple Fit Custom Window Treatment by Redi Shade

A few weeks back the folks at Redi Shade contacted me to see if I'd been interested in testing out their Simple Fit custom shade. As it turns out, I was helping a client select fabric for window treatments and bench seating in their kitchen nook. The window above the main sink {image below} gets direct morning sunlight, was blinding my clients and was still in need of a window covering. The homeowners opted not to have a custom fabric Roman shade, but instead wanted a simple cellular shade.


Redi Shade's Simple Fit light filtering cellular shade in ivory seemed like the perfect solution and my clients were on board. Once the window measurements were taken, I ordered the shade and it arrived in three days! 

Redi Shade claims that their custom shade can be installed securely in seconds without the need for a drill, screws, or traditional brackets, making it a fast and easy. So with the clock ticking, we {my client I should say} started installing the shade...


The shade arrived safely and was wrapped carefully in bubble wrap. It took only a minute or two to unwrap.


The homeowner quickly read the directions.


Then the homeowner removed adhesive strips and installed the shade with a push of one button. It really was that simple and only took ten minutes! The shade has some weight to it, so hangs beautifully. It goes up and down {no cords or pulls} smoothly too. The ivory color was a perfect complement to the subway tile design backsplash.
