Hope everyone had a great fourth of July!  We spent the day at a BBQ with friends and a bonfire at night.  It was a fun and relaxing day and a great way to spend the holiday.

One of my favorite CSN stores is www.allmodern.com  Go there to check out all the designer goodies they carry!  Here are a few of my favorite pillows they carry:

Missoni Home

Koko Company Java

Unison Reed Square Pillow in Zest

Twinkle Living ZigZag Pillow in Seafoam

I just recieved an email from Glidden that I wanted to share with you.

On June 1st, Glidden is giving away 2 test samples of the paint color of your choice and the opportunity to get 2 samples for a friend as well.  Go here to their website to get the free samples on June 1st.  If you’re looking to paint something in your home, this is a great opportunity to test out the paint colors before you buy!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the CSN Giveaway this week.  I hope I’m able to keep doing giveaways for my readers because I think they are so much fun!    I used the random number generator to find a completely random comment and comment # 21 is the winner.

Congratulations, Lucia!

I hope you find what you’re looking for to finish off your guest room whether it goes towards furniture or that gorgeous sunburst mirror!
