I love these sunny, stylish outdoor chairs from CB2 and now they’re half off! At $50 each you can get a trendy outdoor look that would cost around $200 per chair to recreate with DWR product.
The yellow is my favorite, but I think you could combine all of them for a fun eclectic look!

As you know I’m a fan of the ‘modern baroque’ look. So when it came to figuring out how to display photos in our entryway, I knew just what I wanted. The problem was the price. I couldn’t afford to buy lots of the frames from Propeller Modern that I loved. So I decided to try and recreate the look myself.
I went and bought a bunch of frames from Marshalls and Ross. I looked for anything that was carved or had texture. It didn’t matter what color they were as long as they weren’t metal or plastic. I think the most expensive frame I purchased was $8 so I was able to get a bunch of options at a great price even though the cashiers thought I was nuts because everything was so mismatched!
After that I just bought some white primer and 2 cans of flat white indoor/outdoor spray paint, which I used liberally on each frame. I used white but I think the frames would also look great in all black. The key is making them all the same color.
Hanging them was a challenge. I first taped out the area in which I wanted the frames on both the wall and the floor. I then laid out all the frames on the floor in the arrangement I liked. Then hung each frame on the wall based on its position on the floor.
All in all I’m really happy with the final look and I was thrilled that I was able to create the whole wall for less than $100!

When I was reading tabloids at the hair salon awhile ago, I came across a little blurb from Kelly Bensimon saying that she combines rose oil with water in a spray bottle and uses it as a perfume and home fragrance. Now to many of you this might not seem interesting and a little obvious, but I’ve been on the hunt for a good rose scent for months now. Unfortunately, everything I like costs a fortune (i.e. Une Rose) and most of the stuff I find has musk in it, which I hate.
So, I gave it a shot and much to my chagrin (I’m a Team Bethenny girl all the way), it works pretty well! Just put a few drops of oil into the spray bottle, add water and shake (obviously the oil doesn’t really mix, but it still scents the water) and voila! You have a nice body splash and home fragrance! Er, thanks Kelly… just some advice, you might want to lay off the drugs before filming… just sayin’.
