Isn’t the wallpaper pretty much as fantastic as wallpaper can be? It’s from Anna Spiro’s new line.
Here’s another angle.
The wall mounted vases add something interesting to the wall. You can make these you know, check out this old post to see how. I’m also a fan of how the frames are hung almost all the way down to the baseboard. I imagine small kiddos do not inhabit this photo shoot.
Serenity Now
The brown dog relieved herself on our dining room rug yesterday morning.
This is now under the rug on our 60-year-old hardwood floor.
The interweb tells us that if we soak a paper towel in hydrogen peroxide and lay it on the stain for a few hours it will help. Otherwise we will have to sand and refinish over the stain.
Here’s hoping.
Has this ever happened to you guys?
Great Legs
When I saw them I couldn’t pass up these chairs.
Besides the whole orangey pink, hard plastic-like upholstery these entire chairs are pretty great.
A friend of mine who is a Realtor with Urban Durham sent them my way after they were left behind in a home he was selling. So I got them for next to nothing. Thanks Brandon! Now all I have to do is gussy them up a bit.
There is good booth news coming up soon, so that’s just where these babies will be headed as soon as I can find the right upholstery fabric. Here are some thoughts as of 10:15 last night. Subject to change.
I’m feeling very floral today, obviously.
All prints from Lewis and Sheron.
Kate Spade
Is having a surprise sale here. Hurry.
Look at all you can get for as much as 75% off.
I haven’t nabbed anything but I window shop on all of your behalf.
A Moment of Silence
For these, which I lost on eBay yesterday.
They were antiques too.
Such a bummer, but alas $150 plus $60 shipping is not in the budget right now. They would have been lovely atop my china cabinet though.
Doesn’t it look empty now without them?
That Coke would have been nice too. Again, a bummer.
Win It: A Custom Home Rendering
This month’s giveaway is so stinkin’ exciting!
Custom home renderings, AKA a drawing of the outside of your hiz-ouse, make such personal artwork for the inside of your hiz-ouse. We’ve purchased one in the past as a gift for my mother for Christmas, which she absolutely loved, and have always planned to eventually have one done for our own home.
Then the lovely Jennifer of Jennifer Marie Designs beat us to it. She just sent us a rendering of little grey casa and is offering a custom drawing to one of our lucky readers too! Does it look just like our house? Such a great keepsake.
We’ve framed ours in an IKEA RIBBA frame and hung it on the kitchen wall.
Where will you put yours? Or will you have one made for your mom? I can promise she’ll love it.
PRIZE: One free artist rendering of your home, 8×10 inches, courtesy of Jennifer Marie Designs. Worth $100!
DEADLINE TO ENTER: Between now and 11:59 PM, Eastern time on Friday, May 18, 2012. We’ll announce the winner the following Monday.
HOW TO ENTER: Just leave a comment on this post and say something nice – our moms are reading!
YADA, YADA, YADA: One entry per person please, you do not have to be present to win (think about that one for a second) and the winner will, as usual, be chosen via Random.org. So suck up all you want to both us and especially to Jennifer by saying nice things. However, it won’t help you win more than our eternal gratitude.
