I might be the only freak who says it but it's true.

I think I'm somewhat partial as this time we hired movers and LOVED every minute of it. Worth every penny.

Then there's my mother/grandmother that comes out in me; the interior design freak. The decorating freak. Pillow maniac. Lighting and lamp decor fanatic. Whatever you want to say, I'll accept. There's something about having a blank slate that is so wonderful. The paint. The furniture. The little knick-knacks that arrange themselves so perfectly harmoniously.

Ok enough, right? WRONG. :) (You should know me better by now!)

I recently stumbled across this site called CSN stores. What first caught my eye was their lighting and lamps. I mean holyfreakincow this is awesome. (Check the link for exactly what I mean but have your wallet secured. :) )

Alternatively, I found that there other sites are FABULOUS and have some of the most amazing deals. Our new apartment has a ton more space (boo for city living, yay for square footage!) so we'd like to purchase some new shelving for the living room to flank our TV stand. I want something I can display some great pieces we have and never had space for and also some of our great hockey memorabilia. (My Brooks Laich and Mike Knuble signed pucks need to go somewhere, right?!) So we found these lovely leaning shelves that we are anxiously awaiting to arrive. They are these beauties: {sigh} I think they'll not only look awesome with our furniture but what a great deal! I've done a ton of research and can't find a better price.

On top of that, I'm going to give you all a great review of the whole purchase, start to finish, once I get them all set up. I always like to hear other stories on great successes and I anticipate this being one and would be happy to share what I think of CSN and the shelving. :)

So now I sit, wait, continue to sew adorable pillows and curtains (which I will be sharing shortly!)

Could I get a few more hours in each day, please? Thanks :)
