Weekly Splurge!!

So I know we have established this plan where I buy one item a week for myself, and that I'm supposed to focus on makeup first and then move to another area- but I couldn't help myself!!
I was enjoying some rare alone time, browsing home accents and I found this oil painting...



It inspired me to dream up a whole new living room scheme with warm colors. I'm picturing long drapes in a spice/drk orange and throw pillows in silver & crimson.

I've also never been much of a "flower" art girl and I love the fact that the picture is something as modern as a city but is depicted softly instead of some harsh, gritty downtown picture.

I also found some really cool modern table lamps for my living room with a warm yellow shade. (Darker than it appears in this pic from my phone)



Is it coincidence that the lamps I want are accenting CITY landscape artwork in a totally different store from the one I had JUST bought my painting from?

...I think it's more like DESTINY. ;]

...But no, I didn't buy the lamps. =(
I would have to bring lunch for a whole freakin month to get the lamps on this weekly budget plan... but I AM considering taking one for the team!! lol

A month of ramen noodles and leftovers is a small sacrifice for a baller ass living room!!
