A Break in Recaps- Jem living

So remember a few days ago, I mentioned that I was redoing my living room? Well so far, i've painted with this beautiful color called Renoir, it's almost like a salmon color but a shade darker. The trim is bright glossy white. Now I need a few colors to really pop. I thought black would look really great against the wall plus jade or olive green, burgundy or even dark brown. I have a rug with all these colors and I could just tie the other colors in with accent pieces.I already have a few pieces of furniture that work, but I really need 2 console tables, a coffee table and two end tables. I went to CSN Stores since i've shopped with them before and was always very happy with my purchase and their customer service.

I got all the disposables for my wedding from them as well as the table skirts for the buffet tables. I also bought this beautiful wall clock for my friend as a wedding present.

Here are the tables i'm trying to make a decision on:

The pictures are a bit fuzzy for some reason but I think you can still see them.

There is free shipping on both of these so that's not a factor. Please help me decide. Which one would you choose?

CSN Stores Sneak Peek

I recently went to the CSN website after being contacted by them and let me tell you that I was so blown away. The have over 200 stores selling pretty much everything that your little heart can desire. As soon as the wedding is over, I know i'll need another project and making over my home seems like a great enough project. I'll probably start with the master bedroom and include a really great bed from their collection of amazing beds and bedroom furniture.

CSN stores has everything, I'm talking furniture, Home Decor, Baby and kids,Shoes and Bags and so so many other things.
Here are some of the things i've been eyeing:

And a little something for myself:

This pretty clutch is only $35.99 You should really check them out. I think you'll be very pleased. Their prices are great and there's free shipping on so many items.

And if i'm feeling really nice, I may just giveaway something from one of the CSN stores. Stay tuned.

TIFFANY BLUE BRIDE- Can Anyone say blue?

I've always adored turquoise, aqua, teal and every light shade of blue. For anyone who knows me, it was a pretty obvious choice as to what my wedding colors would be.

We decided that our colors would be aqua/tiffany blue and white. Our theme initially started out as butterflies (my other absolute favorite thing) and I was so excited about that but the more I researched aqua or turquoise, the more tiffany came up, so I found myself leaning more into that theme. I may still have a few butterflies in there but nothing too noticeable. so my new theme is the 'Tiffany Blue Box'.

Once we decided on the "Tiffany Blue Box", I decided to add some crystal and silver elements to it to give it a little sparkle.

Most of the time, its pretty hard to find a true tiffany blue - it's called robin's egg, aqua, pool, light turquoise and even sometimes mermaid among other things. I've decided that it doesn't really matter if they're not all the same thing, as long as they're in the same family. I actually think that the different shades make it more interesting.

The bright white will contrast nicely with the various blues, there's going to be just enough bling from the crystals to give it that extra sparkle and small pieces of silver will be spread around for an additional little shiny element.
