slumber party

You know I love numbers and letters. I just love the look of vintage zinc letters, but of course don’t like the price. Or waiting to find the perfect font or the perfect combination of letters to create the word I want.

So I decided to make my own. Let’s go faux!

the perfect little kitchen

If I bought a small house – and I’d like to – this would be the perfect small, functional kitchen…

Sorry for the glare and the torn-from-a-magazine tatters. But isn’t it awesome?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

keeping it real :: basement edition

We interrupt our regularly scheduled project programming due to this…

Yes that is my basement and yes that is water.

Let’s travel back in time for a moment to Tuesday and Wednesday of this week when it was 60 degrees in central Ohio. And to Wednesday when we had torrential rains . . . → Read More: keeping it real :: basement edition

almost instant art

If you’re short on art around your place there are ways to create almost instant (and cheap) art.

I work in advertising, so we frequently get giant catalogs of different types of royalty-free images that places like ad agencies purchase. Like this one…

These catalogs frequently land in the trash or recycling . . . → Read More: almost instant art

finally figured it out

The other day when my sister and I were sitting around in my bedroom like it was our job, I finally figured out what’s wrong with my bedroom. Aside from needing to be painted something other than beigiest beige.

It doesn’t match the style of my house.

It was a total EUREKA! I have . . . → Read More: finally figured it out

making it my own

After living in my current house for 6 1/2 years, I finally opened that one last box. You know, the one that lingers and may actually move from house to house without ever being opened. Well, I figured it had cured quite long enough.

It contained some family photos. In our old house we . . . → Read More: making it my own

fix your bed

When I was growing up, fixing my bed was mandatory. Every. single. day.

Being a natural-born slob, I fell out of that habit once I didn’t have anyone telling me what to do. But now that I’m on a quest to beautify my home on a very slim budget, I started thinking about some . . . → Read More: fix your bed

keeping it real

So where do I begin with the massive undertaking of cleaning up my office/loft/art studio?

The art table?

The front desk?

Or maybe the back desk?

I think we’ve found a winner, folks. The back desk seems to be the least offensive, so I think I’ll begin there.

tea time

Would you please pour me a cup of tea?

Oh wait. Something’s off. Looks like someone put Sharpies in the teapot.

Oh yeah. That was me. Because I love to use things for purposes other than their original intent. Like Sharpies in a funky Midsummer Night’s Dream teapot.

Clever, too, since I wasn’t . . . → Read More: tea time

no cost project

Who have I been kidding?

I’ve said that I haven’t been doing any projects because I’ve been, um, short on funds (ie, broke), but seriously that’s no excuse. Because it doesn’t cost anything to clean. And boy does my office/studio/loft need a good cleaning.

I should really be embarrassed to post a pic of . . . → Read More: no cost project
