Adexe Watches | Handmade Timepieces

June 5, 2019

As someone who is always on the go and a stickler for being on time, I always wear a watch. In fact, a stylish watch is one of my essential fashion accessories. Over the past few months I’ve been fortunate to add a couple of new watches to my jewelry collection. My newest watch has quickly become a favorite and one that I wear on a daily basis.

Recently, Adexe Watches reached out to me with an opportunity to review one of their classic timepieces. I wasn’t familiar with the Adexe brand but after some research I knew I wanted to collaborate with the company.

Adexe is a London, UK based company that has been making watches since 2015. Founded by a father and daughter team, the company is known for creating uniquely appointed timepieces at affordable prices. All of the watches feature a curved, hardened crystal glass dome that enhances the clarity of the watch face.

Design Is In The Details

Another feature that makes Adexe watches so special is that every watch is created by hand. The watch faces are made in-house by professional glass makers who layer, cut and mold the crystal glass into various shapes. All of the watch straps are made from Italian leather or hand-polished stainless steel mesh and designed to enhance each unique timepiece.

After looking through the entire Adexe watch collection, I choose the Foreseer Grande Silver. The oversized watch face, polished stainless steel band and multi-function dial where what drew me to this watch. My fashion style is classic with and bit of flair so this watch compliments my personal style to a T.

When I received my watch, I was excited to see that included in the box were tools so I could adjust the length of the strap to fit my wrist. I headed to the Adexe website and watched the short videos they created which walked me through the simple steps of adjusting my watch band. Added Bonus..All Adexe Watches come to with a pair of pre-set extra straps in black or brown colour so you can change the look of your watch to fit your wardrobe. There is also a video that shows you how to change your mesh band to the leather strap.

I’ve been wearing my watch for several weeks and love the look at fit. The band is comfortable and the dial is easy to read. I know I’ll enjoy this watch for many years to come.

Head over to the Adexe London to check out their entire collection of watches. Adexe watches would make a great Father’s Day or graduation gift and for a limited time only the company is offering free personalization on their watch straps. And International delivery is FREE!

Flower Home–Drew Barrymore’s Home Collection

April 2, 2019

In an effort to further capitalize on the growing home decor industry, Wal-Mart recently partnered actress Drew Barrymore to launch her 1st collection home products.

Flower Home is an eclectic mix of colorful, vibrant and personality packed home decor and furniture, all at affordable prices.

I spotted a few of the items on the internet last week and immediately headed to Walmart.com to check out the full line. Although not necessarily my style, I liked a lot of the items and want to share my favorites with you.

*****

Favorite Finds From Flower Home

No. 1–The silk flower art piece is definitely my favorite item in the collection. I love the colors, the chinoiserie feel and the $49 price.

No. 2–I love the clean lines and sun-kissed color of this mid-century velvet accent chair ($399). A pair of these would look great in a home office or flanking a fireplace. If this golden color isn’t your thing, this chair silhouette is also available in three other fabric options.

No. 3–Pretty in pink is how I’d describe this ceramic table lamp ($75). The embossed geometric design and velvet lampshade are my favorite details. A pair of these would look great in a little girls bedroom.

No. 4–It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for pretty dinnerware. The floral and stripe pieces in this vintage floral dinnerware set makes it easy to mix and match for both formal and casual entertaining. ($60 for 16 pieces–also available in a peach color)

No. 5–Antique brass and rattan are two of my favorite design elements together they give this floor lamp and chic and bohemian vibe. Place it next to a cozy lounge chair and you’ve got the perfect reading nook. $120

No.6–I think it’s the combination of bright yellow and turquoise that drew me to this bird artwork ($124). I wish there was a coordinating piece to go along with this but alone, this piece would look great as in a sunroom or kids play area.

No. 7–Even though I don’t see people decorating with globes as much as they once did, I still think they are a thing. This flower globe ($76) is one of the prettiest I’ve seen and would be a fun accent in a home office or kids study area.

No. 8–One of the reasons I love ceramic garden stools so much is because they are so functional. They can be used indoors and out, make a nice side table and provide additional seating in a pinch. This ombre ceramic side table is a pretty piece and only $76.

The Flower Home collection has gotten rave reviews so don’t be surprised to see items flying off the shelf. If you can’t find your favorite pieces on Wal-Mart.com, check their companies sister brands, Hayneedle and Jet.com which are also selling the decor and furniture collection.

Shopping CB2 | Budget-Friendly Modern Decor

March 7, 2019

I received the new CB2 catalog in the mail a few days ago and boy or boy are there some amazing new pieces in it.

CB2 is one of my favorite stores to shop for stylish and affordable home decor. Until a few years ago, we had a CB2 store here in Atlanta but sadly it closed. Now I have to do all my shopping via their catalog.

If you’re not familiar with CB2, it’s the sister brand to Crate and Barrel. The design aesthetic of the two brands is similar but CB2 has more of a modern edge and prices tend to be lower than Crate and Barrel.

Some of my favorite product categories at CB2 include lighting, pillows and their selection of knobs and drawer pulls. I used their brushed hexagon knobs in my kitchen and love them.

As I flipped through the newest catalog, there were so many pieces that caught my eye so I thought I’d share 10 of my favorites with you today.

♦ Tarte Tiered Chandelier–it’s hard to find oversizied, modern chandeliers that make a bold statement. The tiered shape and the brass finish make this a real standout. I can envision this hanging over a dining table or in an open foyer.

♦ Tatum Black and White Basket–Anything black and white is my favorite so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I love this basket. The size and shape make it perfect for holding blankets in a family room or guest bedroom.

♦ Grid Hand-loomed Rug–You really need to click the link and see this rug in person. The weave detail is really beautiful and makes this rug really unique. This would look so pretty as a foyer rug or in a living room with lots of neutral decor.

♦ Frond Jute and Velvet Pillow–I’ve been on the hunt for unique accent pillows and love this one. The design combines jute and velvet which gives this pillow so much texture. Two of these pillows on a grey or black sofa would look stunning. t also comes in a natural and navy combination.

♦ Artemis Frosted Chandelier-This chandelier took my breath away. It’s so unique and would really make a statement over a dining table.

♦ Halo Globe Table Lamp–If you’re looking for a unique accent lamp on a hall table or nightstand, this is it. Just image the beautiful light reflection that the diamond-cut glass will create.

♦ White Marble Handles–Just think how great these would look against white, grey or black kitchen cabinets. The handles come in four sizes and are also available in a black marble.

♦ Aluminum Barware–I am absolutely in love with these drinking glasses and am having a hard time picking my favorite color. Just think about how great these would be for outdoor entertaining this summer. Available in two shapes and 4 colors. I’m definitely ordering a set of these for myself.

♦ Brass and Acrylic Towel Bar–Acrylic and brass are always a winning combination. These towel bars would instantly update a bathroom or could be used in closet or bedroom hold jewelry and scarves.

♦ Glass Beverage Dispenser–I love the vintage feel of this gorgeous glass beverage dispenser. It feels like it was plucked right out of a European home. Another reason to love it–the removable top can be flipped over and used as a pedestal bowl. This piece is a steal at under $70.

There’s even more amazing pieces in their newest catalog. If you didn’t get a copy in the mail, you can flip through all the pages here.

Weekend Wrap-Up: Inspiring Style-Vol. 28

February 17, 2019

Happy Sunday friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I spent yesterday in my office working on a variety of projects and didn’t get out to enjoy the sunshine. And unfortunately there’s no sun in the forecast today–only rain. I picked the wrong day to spend behind my computer. Anyway, before the rain starts, the hubs and I are headed out to run a few errands and take a quick walk. Then I’m planning on spending the rest of the day working on some new projects for The Ribbon Roll blog. When you get a little down time this weekend, sit back and enjoy my weekend links.

Design Inspiration

Looking through Maine House Interiors design portfolio was pure joy. So much blue & white goodness!

I’m really loving this floor to ceiling photo wall. This is an easy and budget-friendly way to fill a wall and create a focal point in a room. (image source unknown)

p.s. These and these are my favorite frames for this type of wallscape.

Home Decor Finds

Have you seen the new MoDRN collection from Wal-Mart? It’s pretty amazing. The collection is a mix of modern and retro designs that are classic enough to work with any style of decor. This white end table is one of my favorite pieces in the collection.

I’ve been sourcing mirrors for a client and came across this brass notched mirror. This is perfect to hang over a powder room vanity or smaller accent table. The the price is great too–on sale for just $128.

Solid pillows with lots of texture are one of the easiest ways to add dimension to your decor. I love the criss-cross weave on this velvet pillow. It’s under $80 and available in navy, ivory and grey.

I love the soft colors and bold design of this floral artwork (it also has a coordinating mate). Just imagine how great this would look in bedroom decorated in neutral colors.

This velvet quilt and sham collection from Grandin Road is just gorgeous and it comes in so many beautiful colors.

p.s. Grandin Road has a 20% off site-wide sale going on right now.

*****

Fashion Finds

I love the shape and texture of these drop earrings. They are only $2.00 and are available in red, black, yellow and gold.

Loft has become one of my favorite stores to shop for fashionable and budget-friendly clothing. I just purchased this mixed media sweater–it’s a great piece to transition between winter and spring.

p.s. Loft is having a great sale–40% off sale full-price styles and an extra 50% off sale styles.

I just read about this coat called the Amazon Coat, and apparently it’s getting rave reviews. Under $140 and comes in 5 colors.

Estate Sale Tips (and my latest finds)

February 6, 2019

I haven’t always loved shopping estate sales. In fact I really didn’t get into it until about 8 or 9 years ago. Prior to that, I thought the only thing you found at an estate sale was furniture and tools. Little did I know that estate sales are a treasure trove for all kinds of items including decor, tabletop items and vintage jewelry.

Several years ago I subscribed to EstateSales.net and their website changed the way I shop estate sales forever. EstateSales.net is national listing service were companies list upcoming sales. In addition to providing the when and where details, companies also give you a preview of the items in the sale. As a subscriber you can choose when to be notified about upcoming sales near you. And the sale listings include both in home and online auction sales.

Launching in 2002, EstateSales.net now gets over 30 million page views per month and is the best way to keep informed about sales in your area.

Beside the fact that you can find some amazing pieces at great price, there are several other reasons why I like shopping estate sales.

WHY I SHOP ESTATE SALES

Estate sales are a great source for vintage furniture. Just about every estate sale I attend has a drop-leaf table or two, upholstered ottomans as well as antique chairs and lighting. In most cases the pieces are good quality and just need a face lift with fabric, paint or refinishing.
I love a good bargain. Like I mentioned early, you can find some real treasures at rock bottom prices. If you’re furnishing your home or looking for items to re-sell, these sales are a great place to shop for both vintage and new pieces.
I’m looking for a DIY project. Every now and then I’m looking for a specific item to DIY for my home. Often times I can find the perfect piece that makes an ideal DIY project.
I’m inspired by home design. I love walking through homes and being inspired by different design and architectural details. Estate sales give me an opportunity to look at both old and new homes for design inspiration. In some cases, the homes are being torn down and some architectural elements might even be for sale.

Now that you know why I like to shop estates sales, let me show you what I found on my last outing.

A couple of weekends ago Mr. Confetti and I stopped by an estate sale on the last day. Like most estate sales, the prices had been dropped and on this day everything was 75% off. All clothing and handbags were just $1.00.

The house was jammed packed, mostly decor, tabletop, apparel and jewelry. We arrived early and upon entering the house, I stayed on the main floor and Mr. Confetti headed to the basement. After about 30 minutes of shopping we met up in the living room to sort through out finds and decide what to keep.

*****

My Latest Estate Sale Finds…

I bought 8 of these gold-rimmed dinner plates for $1.00 each. There are no markings on the plates so I’ve been trying to find the style name and manufacturer. My gut tells me they are made by Noritake but I’m not sure. If you know anything about this plate design, let me know.

I’m always on the hunt for blue and white pottery and found a few pieces I love. The first was this double happiness ginger jar that was in perfect condition. I also found this shaped lidded dish which was just a few bucks.

This set of 7 brass napkin rings were wrapped up in a plastic bag and severely tarnished. A quick polish and their beauty was revealed.

One of the things I was most excited to find were these wood risers. I snagged each of them for just .75 cents each.

I couldn’t pass up these three small blue and white pieces. The blue and white flower frog will be a cute accent on a bathroom vanity or desk. And I imagine using the two small cups to hold jewelry or office supplies.

This brass tray was another amazing find. I immediately fell in love with the floral blossom design and bamboo style edging.

Mr. Confetti found this handled urn in the basement and it wasn’t until I got home that I noticed it was two-toned. I love the combination of silver and gold. The urn is a perfect for an orchid arrangement.

This brass container is a classic design and can be used for so many purposes.

I’m jazzed about the pieces I found at the sale. Some of these items are keepers and others will be going into my Etsy shop soon. If you’ve never been to an estate sale but are intrigued, I’ve listed a few shopping tips below that should help you.

*****

TIPS FOR SHOPPING ESTATE SALES

First day–to get the best stuff, plan to arrive early. Any trending or under-priced items will be the first pieces to go. The early bird definitely gets the worm at an estate sale.

Second/Third day–by the second day, the sale will be picked over and prices will most likely be slashed. The second or third day of the sale is typically the slowest which will give you a better opportunity to inspect items. You’ll also have a better chance at negotiating prices on these days.

Last day–this is when you’ll find your best bargains. Sellers are motivate to see everything go and will definitely be open to offers. You can even try to offer a bulk price for all the items you are interested in.

Grab and go–do a quick walk-thru of every room when you get to a sale and grab anything of interest. Once you have a pile, go through the items more throughly to determine what you’ll buy. When you find a furniture piece you like, pull the price ticket off and take it to the check out area so it will be held for you.

Look everywhere–check inside any open and accessible areas like closets, the garage and basements. Like items aren’t always grouped together so cover every inch of the house for treasures.

Ask about unmarked items–appliances, draperies and rugs may not be marked but are often available for sale if you ask.

Cash or Check–estate sale companies like when buyers have cash or write a check to avoid the added credit card processing fee. Make sure you have your checkbook and cash on hand when you go to a sale.

Know you measurements–if you’re shopping for furniture, have the key measurements of your home with you. You’ll want to make sure items will fit through doorways and in the spaces you have planned.

You buy it, you load it–most estate sales will not load furniture into your car. Make sure you have additional hands at the ready to help you load your purchases. You might be able to come back at a later time to pick your items up but there’s always the risk that an item getting damaged or mistakenly sold to someone else while you gone.

All sales are final–check the condition of everything before you buy it.

I hope you enjoyed today’s blog post. I’m headed to Scott Antique Market tomorrow to do some shopping for a client so follow along on Instagram. If you’re not familiar with the market, you can read about my previous shopping trips here.

Similar chipboard letters here

The foundation of my wrap is a tone-on-tone white striped paper. I wanted the paper to have a little dimension and this fit the bill perfectly. After I wrapped the boxes, I added a few embellishments.

I wrapped the first box with red & white twine and laced the ends through a paper heart with holes punched in the center. I made the heart from decorative scrapbook paper using a template I downloaded here. The plaid heart gives this gift a slightly more masculine feel and I love the pattern mixing that all the elements create.

tip: look in the wedding section of big box stores for beautiful and elegant white wrapping paper.

For the second gift, I wrapped striped ribbon around the center of the box and tied a bow along one edge. Next I decorated the top of the box with large chipboard spelling out XOXO. I painted the letters with red acrylic paint before attaching them to the box with double-sided tape.

I just love how my Valentine’s gift wrap turned out. I hope these ideas will encourage you to put a little heart & love into making your gifts extra special for the ones you love!
