This Stuff is Awesome!

cleanerI “pinned” this awhile back and it’s been in the back of my head to give it a try!  I finally remembered to add it to my grocery list and I tried it out over the weekend.  My kitchen sink is porcelain and has yellowed a bit around the drain and Comet just wasn’t taking it away.  I’ve sprinkled Comet in the sink and let it set overnight and it still didn’t go away.  This stuff – cleaned it like crazy and the weird thing is it seems like my sink stays cleaner!!!  This cleanser is great and if you have ANY porcelain sinks or your tub, I would totally try this!!!! I’m giving it 5 stars!!!!

Bed – Before
Bed – After

I’m stillllll looking for my fixer-upper Farmy type house!  In the meantime, I found this awesome new bed on Overstock.com!! Over the years I’ve ordered most of my light fixtures on Overstock and loved every single one of them.  Free shipping over $50 and everything has come in excellent condition.  Just like my light fixtures, this bed DID NOT disappoint!!  Came in about a week and I just love it!!!  All iron (hollow) with dark oil rubbed bronze finish.  Came with head board, foot board & frame! The same bed on Pottery Barn (looks the same) is $800 plus a $150 surcharge for shipping!!! On Overstock, I got it for lesssss than $300 (with coupon/always use coupons!) & FREE SHIP!!!!

Chandelier Update

Soooooo I decided to take apart as much as I could and give it a good “Brasso” cleaning.  I removed all the crystals (cleaned the brass wires on the crystals with a q-tip) and polished all the body parts with a toothbrush.  I found a company online in Connecticut – grandbrass.com – they specialize in lamp parts.  I ordered a few new crystals and some new socket sleeves.  Excellent service if you need anything.  After cleaning it and replacing some parts I DIDN’T want to put it back in the box soooooo I had to put it up!!! Only place to put it for now was in my basement – LOL and I love it down there!!!!!

Amie was “Maid of Honor” in one of her besties weddings this weekend.  We were up at the Sunspot Lodge in Winter Park for Laura & Travis’ wedding and it was beautiful.  Wedding was outside on the deck and the reception was inside the Lodge.  We had to take the ski lift to get up there! Gorgeous views!!
