Mama Needed a Night Out

Yesterday Doug got home from work, took one look at me, and said "you need to get out of here."  Apparently a little too much of this...

was turning Mama into a crazy person.  I love you Eme, but teaching you how to feed yourself has been slightly challenging.  Lunch time now includes bath time (like I mentioned earlier), laundry time, and clean the entire kitchen time.  Apparently she takes after her brother in more ways than one.

So, after dinner was over-- I threw on my jacket and happily left the kids, the dishes, and bath time/bed time to Doug.  And of course-- I went to Home Sense.

I found so many good things-- so I just had to share!  Here are a few of my favorite finds:

1.  Pretty lamp-- it's a similar shape to the one I found at a thrift store a while back (jury's still out on whether or not to paint... gotta get on that!)
2.  Tufted linen chair-- honestly-- for $300-- it doesn't get much better than this.  I'll take TWO!!  Just kidding Doug :)
3.  Loved these quilted throw blankets-- there were great colors-- soft purple, cream, and green-- wouldn't they be fantastic for a baby's room?  At $24 each-- I think so!
4 & 5.  Every time I pop into Home Sense I find bus roller prints-- and every time I'm tempted to pick one up!  Just look at how great they look...

So tempting... just gotta find the right spot in this house!  Maybe I could find a spot for one in the basement... hmmm...

6.  glass lamp-- classic shape.  Would look good in just about anyone's house.

7.  Pillows with jute braid trim-- They came in every color-- and were really well made.  They look almost identical to the pillows at Pottery Barn but instead of $49.45 for JUST the cover-- you get a the pillow cover and down insert for $19 - $25-- depending on the size.  Not too bad, Home Sense-- Not too bad!!

8.  Starburst mirror-- there were a few of them left in the clearance section.  Would look great above a bed... any takers?

9.  Another lamp-- I wasn't a huge fan of the shade (kind of looked like cork) but the base was awesome.

It was the perfect night out-- just me and Home Sense :)  Who knows... maybe I'll be heading back to snag one of these finds...
