Apple Green Envy and a Spot of Aqualisciousness

Red....you used to be my favorite. And before you blue.

But now....it's all about the aqua, and apple green.

You might remember how I spent my last Black Friday at an estate sale and how I literally....and I do mean literally....dreamed about all the aqua milk glass items at this sale. Really. I kept waking up the night before the sale worried there wouldn't be any aqualisciousness (yep - made that word up - maybe I can get it added to the OED next year) left before I got there.

I ended up keeping most of the pieces I bought, but the other day, I put this up in my etsy store.

Isn't it beautiful? LURVE that color! (I added the cloche just for fun.)

So...where is this all going Sweet Bee?

C'mon - buzz along with me - this is why Worker Bee calls me Sweet Bee - I'm always buzzing about something. I'll get to the honey, don't you worry.

I just recently pinned this little collection of sweet colors

and I suddenly realized my living room is going in this exact same direction!

Love, love, love my new living room rug!

It's an indoor/outdoor rug from Home Decorator's Collection.

Read about it in HGTV magazine and I just knew I had to have it.

I changed the pillows on these wicker chairs to this apple green velvet. Got them at World Market.

Love the tall glass lantern (already had the blue and white candle - got it at Target years ago) which was a great price at World Market! Yes, I am totally obsessed with World Market. Scary obsessed. You can ask Worker Bee - or on second thought you better not.

Any advice here? Baby Bee and I were doing manicures in the living room and some polish remover got on our coffee table. Yikes! It removed some finish. How can I fix this? (I won't tell you how much Worker Bee has buzzed and buzzed about us ruining the coffee table, but I bet you can guess how many times - uh yeah - it happens every time he sees it.)

Now I think I need to paint my red heart shaped table. Any suggestions? I want to use red as a tiny little accent now. (I know, I know, how can I leave red? It was just time dear ones, it was just time.)

So....lots of little projects to go.

Big estate sale this weekend to head out to and I am really hoping it is cool enough to paint some furniture. I just can't find the energy to paint when it's over 100º.

Thanks for buzzing by!
