However that was double of what we wanted to spend, so we were going to roll it over in our heads and make the final decision in a couple of days. We did some more moving around of our budgets, I had budgeted $400 for the stations (thinking I could go ultra simple and just use a tall table) but found these awesome towers that held all the tools inside, and the whole idea of hiding cords appealed to both of us. The next day we went to the beauty supply store and although Thomas and I were on our own, we poured over pages and pages of options.HA who am I kidding, we only got through a couple of books and then decided on the first option we saw when walking through the door. Now my budget for my desk that I had allotted $1000 for, I could move over that extra cash to another area.Perfect! We had a great start, picked up a table for the reception area, the 4 mirrors at Target, a candy jar (very important) the retail shelves and the giant potted grass for on top of the retail! So after walking the aisles for a bit and finding some storage bins that would work well for perm rods and etcetera's, we went to the furniture area and there standing (picture beams of light shining down on it and Que the music) was the most perfect "desk" perfect height, perfect finish - brown marble and chocolate brown finish.but logically I was scratching my head (sometimes I have a hard time looking outside of the box) "But Shelly, it's a bar!" That is how I know she is way more creative then me, in my brain I was thinking it's a bar not a desk, and she was s anything we want it to be!! Such a huge lesson for me:) So simple! Always remember, anything can be whatever you want it to be! That was our bargain of the century, perfect size, extra storage, a little pull out shelf for the keyboard and excellent price.$500. I had been looking at desks online for the whole week and they ranged in price from $1500 to $5000 especially custom made desks.
On the way in the car, we had been talking about a soar subject, the desk issue, basically I had a 4 foot allowance for a space, we both pictured something brown and she pictured something high, that she could put her bag up on to search for things in there and maybe a small vase of roses to smell before paying the tab. We had met earlier the week before for breakfast and after she had proposed the most decadent color of all, Chocolate brown, I did find a bowl (our manicure bowl to be exact, yep that was our main inspiration, that bowl!) I was kinda wondering how Sam's club would be of help, but I didn't have any doubts in her shopping ability. So we started at Sam's club, on the way grabbing a jolt of iced coffee and talking about inspiration. Shelly does much better than the design on a dime show and is so creative and whimsical and just plain perfect:) She ( Thank's God) called to see where I was in my purchases."Well, I bought two chairs!" Now thinking back on it, it was Saturday the 4 th and I needed to have everything purchased by the 15 th of August, because the whirlwind began then and our opening date was September 4 th! She (being nervous for me, I think) asked if I wanted to go shopping tomorrow, we could spend the whole day and get a lot done! ( Thank's God, again)

So my fairy god sister knew I would have a bit of a problem with the shopping part, her specialty and my downfall, plus she was essential to keeping me on the same "theme" and not make it look like an eclectic mess! Her fairy godmother was named just that, fairy godmother.mine was named Shelly from Drooz studio, so much of a more fun fairy godmother cause while we shopped we drank latte's and gossiped:) The next part of the story is kinda like in Cinderella, where the fairy godmother appears to help Cindy with her situation. (not sure what i was waiting for, but I waited)
I came back home to try some Internet shopping, after having many online anxiety attacks, I shut down my computer and gave up. And let me tell you, I hemmed and hawed about those two. Basically I had money in my account on the 1st of August and went to Marshall's to start my shopping. So to continue my story, if anyone is interested.
