Sexy Glam Home (Heart Me Please!)

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"><div style="position: relative;">Hello y'all!  If you ask anyone who knows me to describe me in two words, they would definitely say, "Oh that girl is so <i>sexy</i> <i>glam</i>."  So when I happened upon this contest on <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/">Polyvore</a> in conjunction with <a href="http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2013/10/polyvore-project-decorate-win-500-to.html">Honey We're Home</a>, a blog I love, I was like, "oh perf!"  Just kidding.  I don't really talk like that.<br /><br />Really, I was intrigued by the prize: a $500 gift card to Pottery Barn.  I need a sofa for my library <i>realbad</i> and this would help me get the <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/furniture-upholstery/sofas/carlisle-sofas/?">linen slip-covered English roll-arm</a> that I've been campaigning for.  I also have these <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/jute-braid-pillow-cover/?pkey=cdecorative-throws-pillows&cm_src=decorative-throws-pillows||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-">PB white pillows</a> that I love, but they cannot be cleaned, so every time I spill red wine on them, I have to go get a new one.  $500 could last me the whole year! (It's a joke, Kip).<br /><br />Anyway, the theme of the contest is Sexy Glam, which is actually a great theme because you can do some really fun stuff with it.  I immediately though of Kelly Wearstler, but with a classic twist (if that's even a twist.) <br /><br />So y'all, I present you my version of the Sexy Glam Home.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/sexy_glam_home/set?.embedder=8728156&.svc=blogger&id=100606083" target="_blank"><img alt="Sexy Glam Home" border="0" force="1" height="482" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/wezfk3wcYafkmd4flBuBw/cid/100606083/id/jMcufis14xGOnkbAFIJoxg/size/c600x482.jpg" title="Sexy Glam Home" width="600" /></a></div></div><br /><div style="margin: 0 auto;

It's late, and I'm blogging while my infant headbutts my shoulder and my 3-year-old is threatening to eat something he found under the sofa so that sentence was the best I could do.   <br /><br />Now <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/sexy_glam_home/set?id=100606083">go heart my board (or set)</a> so I can win :) <br /><br />BTW, I have always used Olioboard for my moodboards, but I'm really loving Polyvore so much more.  I always thought it was just for fashion boards, but they've ventured into Home Decor and it's really superior to Olioboard.  I'd recommend making the switch.
