Decor

I found this board yesterday and fell in love with the various purples and whites. I might be a little biased since one of my pieces is in it, but I think that is out weighed by the fact that I'm not normally a purple fan. It's amazing to see how other people view my work, though! When I painted that piece it was part of a multicolored collection, and seemed very vibrant and colorful. Here though, it seems very calm and subtle. Think I'm digging it's multiple "personalities!"

just somethings I am loving

ceiling decor? check. bright strips of paper? check. Easy and cheap? check. I need these hanging about our table at our next dinner party. Or next Tuesday. I think this is capable of turning a regular old day into a celebration.

Amen. I love this poster and I know someone who needs/would greatly appreciate this poster.

I don't need these, but something in me really (really) wants them. Could you imagine getting these cleaned and disinfected though? Eh. I don't care. They rock and would look beautiful on my counter.

Sometimes I think we forget things really are this simple.

Porcelain legos. A classic made even more amazing.

This little light of mine

This weekend J. and I helped his mom pick out new bathroom light fixtures and while browsing the internet for vanity lights, I may or may not have gotten side tracked by the huge selection of beautiful chandeliers available. The silver and glass one? Awesome. And even though I'm not a big fan of anything brass- the lines of the top one are really really cool. I think I could handle having that in our house!

There is just something special about a chandelier- whether it's in a dining room, the foyer, or a bathroom, they always make a statement.

Daylight Savings

Forgot to share this fun tidbit.

I completely forgot about the time change this past weekend. With the time difference already messing with me all day Saturday, I completely forgot to change our clocks. Normally wouldn't be a big deal, except we had a birthday party for our friend's daughter (she turned one!) I was talking to my mom on the phone when my cell started to mess up and I had to hang up. For some reason, I decided to check the time on my phone as opposed to my bedside clock and I saw that the party was to start in 10 minutes.

I thought it was starting in an hour and 10 minutes.

My hair was still wet, I was in my robe, and our friends live 40 minutes away.

To say the least, I've never gotten dressed and wrapped a gift so quickly :)

Whoops.
