Were there more important things to do today? Probably.

{1 12″ square scrapbook paper, cut in half, and double stick tape per drawer. I’ve had some of these scrap pieces of paper for over two years, and now they are living out their dreams hiding my art supplies and tools.}

I’m at the point where I’m deep cleaning every room in my home {and you thought I’d be bored on maternity leave…}. Call it “nesting” or call it “we’ve been so busy with life and work that our house turned into a pig sty,” but I am getting to the bottom of it.
I LOVE this. [...]

My husband weeps as he reads about my favorite nook on Brooklyn Limestone; he refers to it as the death of his reading nook. It’s true, he set up this little narrow space with a chair and a shelf of books when we first moved in, and I greedily moved the chair to the living [...]

This is the rocker my mom used with all of her seven children; it is over 40 years old. She offered it to me and my husband when we found out we were pregnant {although me and several siblings have been diligently hinting at it for years}.
I scored at Joann Fabrics to recover it for [...]

The last time my mom went to Portland, she came back with some cute vinyl to make a wipeable tablecloth.
While I was in Portland for the holiday, I did the same. This is Moda laminated cotton {I have a hard time finding moda fabrics online to show you, but here are some equally adorable laminated [...]

I was approached recently to do a paint review for Glidden. I do a lot of painting and have used several brands, but this was my first attempt at using Glidden paint: it passed the test.
It was a good excuse for a much needed project. After hanging my T-shirt art, it became ever apparent that [...]

I cut up my t-shirt and framed it.
It was a cozy t-shirt and I loved the print, but was a tad short {and more like a straight jacket now that I’m “with child”}.
Now I can see it everyday instead of hiding it in a closet. Oh, and hey, freed up another hanger for a new [...]

This is my West Elm Chandelier that I like to decorate for the holidays. This year, I used my new angel wing tree decorations from Pier 1 tied with Whitney’s Divine Twine {you need to buy this stuff, you can use it for EVERYTHING}.
I decorated with bats for Halloween, and tree branches for Christmas last [...]

I know, I’m sorry, it’s way too early. But in efforts to procrastinate cleaning, I pulled out my blingy Christmas decorations and made room for shiny things.

It might be time to make the switch to cloth napkins. I don’t use an inordinate amount of paper towels per se, but it would be so much cheaper/festive/better for the environment to be using cloth napkins. Don’t you agree?
It could be another way to decorate for the holidays.
While I intend on making my own, [...]
