We’ve been working on turning our guestroom into more of an office, so I sold all the big pieces of furniture on Craigslist and the rest of it will be gone during our upcoming neighborhood yard sale.  Now that all the walls are bare, I’ve been obsessing over how I want to redecorate.  I finally got around to purchasing the first piece for the room - a reprint of a painting I was eyeing at the Virginia Highland Summerfest.

It’s called “Look at Me” by Atlanta artist Timothy Boyd.  You can check out his Etsy shop at www.waterbears.etsy.com.

This past Friday, I treated myself to some self sympathy shopping after a hellish day that had to do with the stupid downtown Atlanta DMV.  To make myself feel better I visited one of my most favorite Atlanta stores, Victory Vintage Home in Decatur.  I ended up scoring some awesome vases that looked really good in the condo.

The yellow planter was 50% off.  I splurged a little bit on the white vase.  I want to kick myself for not remembering the name of the local Atlanta artist who made it… it’s so cute with the craspedia (billy buttons) I got from the Dekalb Farmers Market!  Hopefully I can find out the next time I go back.

These 2 vases were on sale for $5 each (previously $20!)  I used one as a toothbrush holder.  The other holds a hydrangea stem from our yard.
