We’re back from our Las Vegas / Salt Lake City. I’m putting a post together of our family adventures but in the meantime I have to thank you all for the great shopping recommendations!

-A number of you recommended Alice Lane in Orem…Gasp, swoon, pitter patter!
-Diana, Savers in Orem was awesome…I scored a vintage globe.
-B-The Green Ant in downtown SLC was a mid-century dream (as well as all the other surrounding shops).
-Sarah-Loved Second Hand Chic, I fell in love with a pair of vintage heels but then what do I need with a pair of vintage heels?
-Laura-Hip and Humble is one of must visits everytime I go through Sugar House.


While out and about I did happen upon this uber cool place called “Walls, The Colour Store.”
I get a lot of questions about where I found my cool wallpaper, to which my reply is “hours and hours searching online.”
Hours online no more!
Owner, Brittney Wallman (Wallman…right…she was destined to have a wallpaper store) has a mission of bringing “hip” to Salt Lake City.
I thought I went to heaven after combing through her exquisite wallpapers!

She has an left over bin full of left overs. I snatched up these three prints.
She also has a fun blog.

Thanks to Karen my other new favorite has to be Habitat for Humanity’s Restore in Orem. This place is a DIY’ers jackpot. It’s a darn good thing I didn’t come with a truck because I would have filled it to the brim. This chest of drawers was only $15.00. Now the chest did nothing for me but check out the vintage glass knobs! You can’t even buy reproduction glass knobs for $15.00!

These lovely end tables were begging to come home with me.
I was begging my husband if they could home with me.
He said no.

These are pieces of wood flooring.

I would snatch these all up and make some art just like the one I did here.

Remember Mrs. Devore who took these dated chande’s and turned them in to fab?
I took a couple home with me when my husband wasn’t looking.

This chalk board had a white board on the other side.
Perfect for a child’s room or playroom.
The best part is it was under $20.00!

I brought home a bunch of other inexpensive finds but I need pull them out of the garage then I’ll share.

  11. I”m so excited about that wall paper source. Love the blog. Just posted my favorite pick from your blog and wrote all about you!

  19. So glad that you found and loved The Green Ant. Walls is an amazing store as well, and the owner is not only fabulous but generous. Many wallpaper suppliers require a deposit or a small fee for paper samples, but not Walls. They’re awesome!

    Very Fine House

  20. Looks like you found some lovely things! I’m so happy to see my name on this blog! ha ha. Glad you liked Second Hand Chic. 🙂 The D.I. out here by me is FAB. I’m tellin ya, it’s a hidden treasure. Since Josh and Cali are coming to live by me, you’ll have to come visit!

  24. Glad you liked Hip and Humble!
    Home Again was another fave.

    I saw your DIY flooring art. I just about fell over. I had been working on the same type of project with my wood flooring, except it’s round and then I got sidetracked by the bathroom remodel. So it sits waiting to be finished. So does the bathroom…

    I bought two wooden pictures from Target about 2 years ago but I didn’t like the gold drawing so I painted it white. Then I saw the PB catalog and thought I could use the leftover hardwood in the same way.
    I guess great minds think alike!

It is nice to meet you!
