One more time..

(Sorry for the re-post)

Now that Cameron and I are settled into the house and the living room is complete (minus a rug) it's time to start putting some pictures on the blank walls and filling every nook and cranny with knick knacks! Where is the first place I look? CSN of course! I've acquired some CSN Rewards from previous purchases and won another $30 credit to CSN yesterday! The possibilities are endless of what I can buy! Here are a few things I bookmarked from their wall art and decor section. . .

CAKE - Node Bowl

Graham & Brown - Peony Canvas Art

Graham & Brown - Paintable Small Squares Wallpaper in White

(I think this would look really cool on a ceiling!)

 

Graham & Brown - Sailing Ships Framed Print Art - 16" X 16" (Set of 2)

PLYprints - Love Heart by Alexander Girard

Kenneth Wingard - Reed Bottle Ice Pop

Kenneth Wingard - Cobble Pillar Vase/Pillar Holder

And last but certainly not least...

iittala - Alvar Aalto 3.5" Water Green Bowl

(Are you seeing what I'm seeing??)

Growing older, but not up

Often times when I'm bored and browsing around on the CSN website, I come across things that I had no idea they sold! For example, swingsets!

Growing up, I had the standard swingset. Y'know, the one with two swings, a slide and a glider with two seats.

These days, there are swing sets the size of small houses with price tags similar to a car's! 

I'm sure this one is meant for a neighborhood playground, but it can be in your backyard for only $22,938!

This one looks like it should be inside of a hamster's cage.

"King of the Castle, King of the Castle" Borat, anyone?

Long story short, if you are in the market to buy a new swing set soon, go check them out on CSN. They have a wide variety, in all price ranges and it looks like all of them come with free shipping!

Living Room Update

The living room is almost complete! The only thing that we are still searching for is a rug that we both like! Like many people's first houses, we used some furniture and decorations we already had, and mixed it with new items, as well! The tv table from CSN and couch from Haverty's were the two main new purchases. Cameron already had a leather chair and love seat so we knew we wanted to buy things that would match those.

Ready for some before and after pics??

BEFORE

AFTER (ish)

Yes, that is a sheet over the window for the time being.



Don't get me started on the owl.



 

Please excuse the mess. As you can see, we still have some work to do, but I think it's a good start! :)

CSN Review: Dirt Devil Steam Mop

Like I mentioned last week, I was contacted by CSN to do a review of one of their products. I chose the Dirt Devil Steam Mop because even though most of my house is carpeted, we do have 3 dogs and the tile/laminate floors often get neglected. Also, Cameron's house is mostly hardwood floors and tile.

Here are the stats:

Features:



Contoured Loop Grip Handle
Quick Release Cord Wrap
Adjustable Chromed Steel Handle
Easy Fill Water Reservoir with Water Level Indicator
On/Off Power Switch
Power-On and Steam-Ready Display Light
Pivoting EdgeWedge Steam Head
18-Foot Power Cord
1500 Watts with ETL Listing


Included Accessories:


2 Multi-layer micro-fiber cloth pads - machine washable
Micro-fiber "shaggy" dusting pad (machine washable)

Carpet glide attachment for all carpet/rug use
Fill cup
Funnel


The verdict:
 
Fast heat up time. It worked pretty well on my kitchen floor. Didn't leave a puddle of water like some of the other reviews said their's did. I like how its triangle shaped for those hard to reach corners.



durrrrrrrty.

However, when I put the carpet attachment on and tried it on one of the numerous spots on our carpet, it didn't work at all. Not even slightly. But I didn't buy it to use on carpets, so I can get over that.
 
Overall, I'm happy with this product and hope it makes me motivated to clean.......right.....
