I found this image on one of my favorite blogs, Design Sponge...it inspired me to go out and look for white subway tile for my little kitchen project...Well, I found it for just 16.00 bucks a case...a case will cover 10 sq.ft...more than enough to do my backsplash...YIPEE! Now if I could just decide on a paint color...
...inspiration can come from anywhere...
I used to collect dolls...I have a box full of them in the bottom of the closet...I'm trying to decide what to do with them...I don't really want to see them all over the house or displayed as a group...I like the way this little lady is displayed...sitting all alone on a shelf with other favorite things...
I purchased a black sweater/scarf set similar to the photo on the right over the weekend from the GAP for just $24.00 bucks...It was a great bargain shopping weekend...went to IKEA to purchase a few accessories for my small kitchen face lift and couldn't find a thing...sigh...why does that always seem to happen, when you have the cash, you can't find anything you really like...I did buy some cool shoes for $5.00 bucks...will share pics later.
Painting & Decorating: How To Install Invisible Shelves
another one of my favorite things...shelves...
...I purchased the frame (stretchers...used by artist to stretch their canvas) from Michael's craft store...they come in different lengths...they cost around $10 bucks for all four pieces...they click together at the corners...lay the frame onto your fabric and staple...that easy...It was really too small for behind my bed...I eventually moved it into the hall...I heart it...and I can change the fabric according to my moods...
I'm heading over to Itunes to download this song right now...thank you very much...
We went to the mall after her treatment and Mini just wanted to go home...I played this song in the car and it cheered her up a bit...but, I'm sure she still thinking about what the future holds for her...sigh.
...the wonderful, critically acclaimed blog, Desire To Inspire has chosen Soul Pretty as a blog to read in their Easter Reading Guide...YEAH! So head over to their blog to learn about other new and exciting blogs. I did.
...just want to thank everyone for their well wishes as Mini has been accepted into the school of her choice...YEAH! I'm working on being present and enjoying victories but there always seems to be another hurdle just waiting for us to jump...tomorrow Mini will have new procedure at the clinic which will remove 80% of her blood and replace it with 80% of donated blood...please keep the kind wishes coming...as I try to find an appropriate way to celebrate Mini's victory.
JCrew...When I worked in Corporate America there was a JCrew store right downstairs from my office...I lived in the stuff...haven't thought much about it until Mrs. Obama started wearing it...So I took a second look and I like what I see...check it out.
I don't have any overhead lighting in my apartment...I think I'll pick up a couple of these wall lights on my next trip to IKEA...
