Earn $100 by opening a new checking account! Act fast, end the 3rd!

Hi friends!  

I want to share a deal for you to earn some cash today.  Capitol One 360 is offering $100 for new customers who open a checking account with them between June 30 and July 3rd!  Plus, this is a free checking account, there are NO FEES!
chic on a shoestring decorating, earn $100 checking account

I am a customer and they are not paying me for this blog post.  I started a free checking account with them several years ago when they were ING.  I opened a checking account that I could keep separate from our joint checking account for any online transactions I make.  I don't keep much money in it but I feel like having this separate account keeps my everyday checking account separate and "safer" since it's not hooked up to any online things.  

I have been so happy with this Capitol One 360 account that is completely online.  I was leery of having a bank with no branch in town but it's been easy peasy.  

My favorite thing about it is that I can easily deposit checks into my account with my camera on my smart phone app (this is awesome!)  Plus, there are plenty of ATMs in town that don't charge a fee for me to use.  I can also use my Capital One 360 debit card just like a credit card anywhere that takes credit cards.   

Are you paying your bank fees just to have a checking account?  Do you buy things online?  Do you use Paypal, Etsy, or Ebay?    I highly recommend getting a Capitol One 360 checking account for additional piece of mind and no fees!  Click here to open your account and earn $100 bucks!

There really is no "catch" to this deal.  You just need to :

  1. Open a fee-free 360 Checking® account between June 30th and July 3rd.
  2. Use your Debit Card to make 5 purchases or use CheckMateSM to make 5 deposits (or a combo of both) within 45 days.
  3. Snag your $100 bonus on day 50.

I love a good flea market..

Hello friends!

Do you enjoy going to flea markets?  I do.  Does that mean I'm old??

I don't think so because the flea markets I like have to be good ones.  I have been to a few that just sell junk.

Well, they all sell junk.  But a good flea market will have good junk mixed in with the junky junk.

From May to October there is a good junk flea market once a month nearby.

This makes me so happy!

I try to go to every one but missed May.  However, June's market did not disappoint...

Letters, we've got letters... we've got lots and lots of letters... (name that tune)


Lots of patriotic stuff since the 4th is right around the corner.  (Ugh!  Where is the summer going?!)


Howdy Uncle Sam,


Lots of cute metal signs, antique dough bowls (always too expensive) and plants.  I loved the little metal heart painted with chalkboard paint but I passed on it.  Does anyone know what kind of plant those are?  


More cool metal signs.  And, those big things with holes in them sitting on top are pendant lights.  Awesomely rustic and industrial.  (They'll be in Restoration Hardware next month for a hundred grand each, Ha!)


A cute little vignette...


  This green farmhouse table would make a statement in somebodies dining room don't ya think?  I like it.


This set up is pretty cute but I bet those chairs aren't very comfortable.  I love the color of the Ford truck bed door in the back.


There were cute live topiaries everywhere and I really wanted to buy one but I knew that I would kill it.  Because I'm a stone cold plant serial killer.  Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!


These guys had some cute stuff.  I liked all the colorful painted wood boxes.  But then I decided that they only look really cute like that when there are a bunch of them together.  I don't have anywhere to put those cute colorful boxes all together.  Darn.  

Although I didn't buy too much.  It's always fun to look, get ideas, people watch, and eat some really healthy fair food.  (What?  Fair food is not healthy?!).

Do you like to go flea markets?

Flaunt it Friday 211!

Hello lovelies,

After a couple of excruciatingly hot and muggy days we are having a good old fashioned thunderstorm.

I love a good rain every once in a while.

The downfall is that all of the thunder and lightning scares the bejeezus out of my kids.  I always tell them to remember that God is bowling up in heaven and it's pretty noisy, lightning means he got a strike.

They totally go for it.

Every time.

Such sweet innocence. :)

Since it's raining we'll have to party inside.   Come on in, friend.

Superbe salon avec des accents marron, bleu et orange

Parfois, quand nos salons ont besoin d'une cure de rajeunissement, nous considérons le changement de la couleur des murs, ou peut-être changer les fonds d'écran, mais parfois, l'ajout de plus de couleurs pour vos meubles et les décors fait le tour. L'utilisation de des couleurs vives fait une grande différence car elles ajoutent non seulement plus de drame à votre espace, mais elles vous créent une aura que vous voulez donner à celui qui vient de visiter et voir votre maison !

Pour aujourd'hui, nous avons une liste de 10 superbes modèles de salon avec des accents en marron , bleu et orange . Ils peuvent être les oreillers, la peinture murale, la décoration, même les tapis. Jetez un œil sur les photos que nous avons pour vous!

Chandelier help... can I paint this fabric?

Hello there, lovelies.

Look what I got for free!

chandelier before, chic on a shoestring decorating blog

Pretty cool, right?!

I love the style, it has pretty crystals that attach and hang from the chandelier for a little bling-bling.

But the color.... umm, it is not so good.

Especially that shade, the picture is actually making it look better than it looks in real life.

The shade is sort of a shimmery baby poop colored brownish gold.

It just ain't workin' for me.

Or my house. :(

I've looked for a replacement shade and can not find one this large, it's about 24" across. Plus, the shade frame is welded to the chandelier and not removable but I can't find one anyway so who cares.

I know I can recover the shade with new fabric but since I've never done this before I'm a little worried that it won't turn out well and will look sloppy.

Do you guys think I can paint this fabric with fabric paint?  It is a see-through, shimmery, satin-type fabric.

Do any of you have any experience painting this type of fabric?  I'm scared I'm going to ruin the whole thing.
I would appreciate any advice, friends.  Thanks in advance! :)
