I was in a real funk after work yesterday.
I was tired and blue and I needed a distraction like shopping.....
ahhhhh ...the bliss that shopping can bring....
Right?
So... let's go.
I decided to go to Horchow to see what was new.
I haven't been there in ages.
I found a few things that I absolutely LOVE..
This is one of them.
Horchow is now serving up 'antiques' of a sort.
This chest knocked me out.
The grey and gold finish is a stunner!
Here is a close up. Great right?
And then I saw this sofa and thought....cuddly, cozy, and stylish
I have always loved this table. It is 28 x 50, which is a hard to find size.
And it is inexpensive too.
I thought these where divine. The whole set is under $300.
The tallest is 24".
These tables are 24 high and 24 wide.
They are lacquered with nail heads.
I think they are sharp.
How about this collection of mirrors?
I decided to pop a few of the light fixtures
that I would buy and use.
Talk about Faux Bois......
this is a nice example made into a lamp.
I thought this was wild.
How about you????
This is like a gold washed mercury glass.
I think it is beautiful.
The lotus lamp.
I like this one too.
Close up of the Lotus Lamp.
This one is sharp.
I love the base.
I went flea-shopping with Claudia Strasser from The Paris Apartment
and she was looking for mirrors like this one.
"Here ya' go Claudia."
And finally I saw this patio set and was drawn to it.
I can just see it with kids sitting on the stump seats in wet suits
eating hamburgers right off the grill.
Whew.....I feel better!!
My blues are gone.
Nothing like a dose of 'Virtual Shopping'
to cure what's wrong with me.
What does a dose of virtual shopping do for you?
Go To Horchow - and snoop around

Your killing me here. Can't shop, even virtual, I get the wants & needy's! I'll take one postage sofa, a zodiac lamp and those convex mirrors for starters. The faux bois patio set is a killer. Would of been perfect here by the pool. Could withstand the muggy climate & sun beautifully I think. Maybe I need some virtual shopping, no one will see me right? Wishing, hoping, you will have a good Sunday sister Renee. Love you x

ReplyDeleteThat did cheer me up. Loved the graphics on the sofa and the all white candlesticks and of course being a nature girl the stump seats. Hey I have those right outside! but mine have ants living in them:)) haha

I have a shop. Sometimes I don't want to shop. But this virtual shopping might be just the ticket! I like the things you picked.... But if I am going to virtually shop, then hire me a limo, drive me to Bergdorfs. Or fly me to Paris to. Rue France Bourgeois and take me to Nina Jacobs , Gerard Darel and Anne Fontaine....I think I like this virtual shopping thing! Thanks for the idea Renee! Maryanne xo
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's almost as much fun to "window shop" as it is to actually buy. Thanks for your sweet comment, Renee. You're the best! xo
ReplyDeletewell that was fun and a great diversion.
ReplyDeleteowning a shop i too rarely get out so that was fun. but i know a secret.......who manufacturers the lighting. so just in case you don't and want something....get in touch

ReplyDeletelove and big hugggggs!

Dear Renee,
ReplyDeleteWell, I would go virtual shopping with you any day of the week if these are the things that we are going to see. I adore the grey and gold chest, love the sofa and the candlesticks are wonderful.
So sorry that I've been AWOL..... have been with my sister whilst our husbands went to Le Mans.
I'm trying to get back on track with my commenting but failing miserably !! XXXX

Renee,
ReplyDeleteWell of course it was a great treat that's why it's called "retail therapy." You have the most perfect designer taste for great pieces. Thanks for inviting us to join you.
Your heart is huge...Enjoy these blog moments with virtual friends.
