Do you like how I just abandoned my blog rather than share the results of the contest? Yup, I lost (but I prefer the phrase “didn’t win”). However, I learned lots from the experience – the most valuable lesson being that I don’t want to ever do that again. I still wanted to share the [...]
Did you guys see this? Last month, Morgan gave me a much-needed consultation on what to do with our tiny bedroom. I was absolutely speechless (which explains the late posting of this) with what she came up with. Morgan included lots of, um, concept collages (the term “mood board” seems inappropriate and awkward but there [...]
We now have these three etched bottles sitting on the shelf in our shower, and these three only: “soap” – pure liquid castile soap, also used for shaving, “soda” – baking soda water used instead of shampoo, and “rinse” – watered-down apple cider vinegar used on hair once or twice a week to get rid [...]
I alternately fret over and neglect my plants. As you can imagine, they are alternately over-watered and… dead. We bought a rubber plant which is supposed to be one of the hardiest household plants, but well, I don’t want to talk about it. I really do love having (live) plants around, so the idea of [...]
We finally bought one of the massive prints from the salvage yard that I have been thinking about since we went last June. It is taller than me, which I guess isn’t saying much. There were five of them available, and we had trouble deciding which one to get but this one won out when [...]
These lights remind me of the trouble light-inspired pendants from Anthro that I posted about. But these little guys are made from vintage industrial whisks! Want. (Check out this tutorial, via Remodelista.) Ashley Ann came up with another light inspired by the trouble lights using a wire basket (thanks for the link, Sarah!). A vintage [...]
I thought it would be a long time before I attempted another quilt, but here I go. I’m just getting over a nasty cold, and this has been a nice project to do while I’m feeling under the weather. It makes me feel slightly productive while sitting on the couch, and keeps me warm at [...]
Raise your hand if you hate linear kitchens. They are also referred to as “modern single wall kitchens” or “efficient European-style kitchens” in pretty much every apartment ad on Craigslist. We have this style in our current apartment and I will admit, you can wash the dishes very efficiently… while sitting on your sofa. We [...]
Seriously in love with these vintage-inspired trouble lights. Wouldn’t one of these lovelies look beautiful strung above a wooden table and tolix chairs? Of course, with such a setup one would be forced to eat aged chevre and torn bits of crusty bread with a glass of red wine for every meal… Sounds perfect to [...]
