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.

little things :: empty frame edition :: part deux

OK, so I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a project, and now all of a sudden I’ve had a burst of creativity with 2 projects in 2 days.

little things :: work cubicle edition

For those of us who work full time outside the home, we spend more waking hours there than in the homes we love with the family we love.

OK, now that I’ve depressed you, let me at least encourage you to do something to spruce up your cubicle space.

2012 – the year of the blog

2012 may be the year of the dragon on the Chinese calendar, but in my world it’s the year of the blog.

This is the year that I’m going to honor myself by taking the time to do what I love and feel passionately about – decorating – and enjoy the . . . → Read More: 2012 – the year of the blog

think outside the box

With decorating, it’s important to think outside the box.

For example, the white armoire in the upstairs hallway looked boring, and well, white. And I saw it every single time I walked to my room.

So I decided to think outside the box and hang a picture . . . → Read More: think outside the box
