Chair Website Love
I came accross this very interesting web site with a bunch of great chair pictures! It even describes this history of the chair. Check out the website: http://myamazingfact.blogspot.com/2009/08/sleek-funky-and-weird-chair-designs.html
And here is a sample:
Christmas Decor For 2009
This year’s Christmas decor at our house is looking pretty similar to last year. But, I did add one project, which didn’t turn out quite as planned, so I need all of your help!
Here is our tree, similar to last year, but always fun!
Here is the feather boa wreath- also always fun!
And the new project for the year was clear ornaments with the blue and peacock feathers in them for the table. (Very cute when Rachel Ray did it!) My problem is that the ornaments were too large to fit more than a few in the cake stand. Also, the feather look a bit blah to me. What do you all think? Hunt down smaller ornaments? Different feathers? New vase/plate? Hmm…
Let me know what you think!
A Few New Scrapbook Pages
I have been getting some things done over my past blogging absence! I accomplished many many scrapbook pages. Here is a peak at just a few. I hope these inspire you scrapbookers out there! Feel free to ask any questions!
I personally like my pages to be handwritten. I like the imperfections and mistakes. It makes them feel more personal to me. My pages are also always original. Personalizing is my best advice for scrapbookers, it will always mean more in the end!
Hope that gives you all some ideas! And feel free to give your ideas too!
A Special Gift
Tony gave me this special little Christmas gift early…
A Michael Jackson poster for my office!
It says, “If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with,” Michael Jackson.
Isn’t that so sweet of him? And a great addition to my (kinda drab) office! There is a small shelf project in the works to hold some things in the office that will go under the Keep Calm poster, so don’t worry, the space will fill in even better. And, stay tuned!
A Bit of Rustic
I happened upon this home, home of Danish designer, Henrik Busk, over at Poppytalk today. I’m really loving the rustic feel of the floors and walls mixed with whites. My kind of place.
Inspiration for today!
Shoe Dreaming
Today I am shoe dreaming. Actually most of them are boots. But, everywhere I turn I’m drooling over another pair of kicks. Check out these gorgeous boots:
I love them both! I’m in trouble this season… 🙂
Multi Chair Love
I saw this picture and just couldn’t resist!
Wouldn’t you like to have a house full of these? 🙂
Birthday and Decor!
My birthday was last week!
I got so many awesome gifts, so here is just a sneak peek:
My brother also got me the book, “The Magoc of Writing: How to Write and Publish the Book that is Inside You,” by Linda J. Falkner. So, now I have another project I’m working on 😉
Among many great gifts from family and friends, I also got a few decor related things to keep my occupied in the house for a while. Check out this funky antique alligator trunk:
Is that not totally rad?!
I had drooled over this trunk earlier this fall while browsing antiques. Sweet, eh?
Thanks everybody! Now I have some fun projects to play with!
Our Halloween (Just A Bit Late)
Since I have been gone Halloween has come and gone. But, I thought I would just update you all on our festive Halloween.
I hung Indian Corn on the door, a basket of gourds on the table, and fall flowers in vase. I even stuck bloody handprints to a window and hung a giant spider in the living room. Yes, I love this time of year. Here was a new addition (that we love!) for our porch:
Spooky, right?!
We also carved pumpkins for the front steps. The pictures were mostly fuzzy, but here is a lit up shot of my witch:
And, of course, I dressed up. I was a gangster. Here my mom (the devil) and I are getting ready to go out. (Tony took the picture since he refused to participate in dressing up 🙂
I hope your Halloweens were as fun and festive as ours!
