Look what Momma just scored off of Craigslist… two wingback chairs- $175 for both! These will go in our living room, and I have yet to decide what fabric to reupholster them with. I am for sure painting the legs high-gloss black, As you may know by now, I have a hankering for all things pink…. I would LOVE to cover them in this pink linen from Highland Court…. I can’t wait to hear what Mikie has to say about that one!
Remember that pink chair that I fell in love with at the Design Center? I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities!
Next week I am going to get some R & R with my babies and my babies’ daddy, so I have asked these lovely ladies to cover for me. I am so very excited to introduce the guest blogger series What I’m Loving For Spring. I am even more excited to introduce you to the panel:
Remember this bench? Well I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of this Duralee Orange fabric to reupholster it. As you may know by now, I am a color person, and orange makes me happy.
It may be a while before everything is finished, so in the meantime I will entice you with these…
Jonathan Adler’s New York Apartment… A little splash or orange in every room!
A jaw-dropping orange and magenta velvet sofa.
Orange accents for your beach bungalow.
Orange piping.
Or perhaps an orange chair?
This is where orange meets masculine. Love it.

Remember that chevron lucite tray from last week? Well, I am delighted to announce that Carolyn Tillman of tilly | maison will be giving one away to one lucky Kiki’s List follower!
Here is the story of tilly | maison: tilly | maison came to life after I kept seeing so many fabulous patterned lucite trays at absolutely insane prices. I’ve always been an “I could make that” kind of girl, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and painted my own tray (at a much more reasonable price). I thought others might be into them as well, and it turns out I was right. The shop was started in September 2010 and in a few short months has expanded to include my other experiments–ceramics dipped in colorful glazes, other painted pieces and vintage items. The selection is constantly changing, but it always follows the same basic aesthetics. I love decor that mixes really clean, sleek, modern sensibilities with more eclectic, antique items that have a story and loads of character.

Sorry for the lack of updates, my darlings… Life seems to be getting in the way. I am now down 10 lbs. and feeling truly awesome. Yesterday I received several compliments on my hair, and was told by three people that my skin had “a glow.”
In thumbing through my weekly reading of People, I stumbled upon this recipe. Since we can now add beef into our diet, I decided to make it.
I modified the sauce recipe (no sugar of course, added mangos instead) and served it with a spinach salad and honey glazed carrots. A certain someone may have cheated and had more than 4 oz. of steak… but how can you take beef away from a girl for two weeks and expect her NOT to lose control!?!
Just call me J. Lo because I’m feelin’ so good! Tons of energy and my body truly feels clean. I’ve lost 8 lbs. so far! Today I am wearing my gap jeggings and they feel a heck of a lot looser in the “saddlebag” area. I have also received 3 comments that I look like I’ve lost weight and 2 on how shiny my hair is… and it’s only 11:00! QUITE a boost for the old ego- I already feel like I’ve gotten my $200 worth. 😉
