Steals & Deals | White Pineapple Lamp

I have been obsessed with pineapples before they became a trend. A friend of mine once shared the funniest story about pineapples and since then, every time I saw something pineapple related I thought of him. Being from the south, they are also a welcoming sign of hospitality so it’s no wonder why I incorporating pineapple decor for the shemakescents office was a must.  I was on the hunt to replace my desk lamp since the layout of the new shemakescents office is totally different that where I blogged since 2011.  Then it came down to two options.

The more expensive lamp gave me the chic and slightly playful design and I wanted to blend into the design.  What it was lacking was respect to my budget.  I kept looking and while shopping at Hobby Lobby one day with my best friend, I found the exact lamp I was looking for; aesthetically and financially.  In fact, I loved it more for the gold accents that match other gold accents in the office.  Retailing at $59.99 + the 40% off coupon that I use EVERY TIME I shop at Hobby Lobby, I ended up paying $36.00 (not including taxes).  This has been my favorite decor steal, thus far, for the shemakescents office!steals-deals-1

{Happy Monday} Behind the Scenes of SMC

Happy Monday Folks!! Around this time of the year, people tend to reflect on things they want to change. I decided that I would not wait until the New Year and start making positive changes NOW; hence, the new look of the site. In addition to the new layout of SMC, we are getting our offices in order. Here are some offices that are giving me everything I need in terms of inspiration.

Check my inspiration for the new SMC office!
