JC Penney, How I love Thee!

For a few years now I've sort of pooh-poohed JC Penney, seeing it as the Wal-mart of the mall. Although, a couple of years ago my sister was telling me that they'd really upped their image and had some great home decor items. I still wasn't a believer, until today that is.

We just had the dining room painted and I have desperately been searching for drapes - without ANY luck. I had resolved to make my own, and at the last minute decided to stop in JC Penney for a look-see before heading to the fabric store.

OMG!!!!

They have AMAZING drapes, and window treatments of all kinds. I was really impressed. So impressed that I spent $150.00. I found the perfect pair of drapes, but I do have to go back and have them ordered in a longer size. I even bought some throw pillows. They had soooo much stuff, that I dared not venture past the window treatments for fear that I would go broke.

So, here I sit (or stand) corrected on my view of JC Penneys. You are no longer the Wal-mart of the mall. You are now the TJ Maxx of the Mall - and what a compliment that is!

As I attempt to host my first (and perhaps last) catalog party, I realized that many folks won't understand how to apply the product once they've received their orders. So, I found this great tutorial on You Tube.

Uppercase Living a-go-go

Hi all. I don't seem to be able to find any kind of consistency with this blogging. I am hoping though that this will change now that I'll be posting Uppercase Living photos and helpful hints here. Since I'm totally in wedding mode, I'll post some of cool wedding projects that can be done with UL for wedding receptions.
