The boy and I have been wanting to get a chair for the living room, but we can’t agree on a style for the life of us (I favor something like a Queen Ann, he wants a huge, ugly Lazy Boy type thing). I saw this chair at a yard sale this summer though and [...]

December 29, 2008Mad Mats!
November 14, 2008So I found this store that sells the most random things. Awesome things, but totally random. Its like an old fashioned general store on speed, and fancy. I could spend an enitre day there and not get bored.
Anyway, they sell these rugs there that are awesome. At first, I was attracted to the patterns and [...]
Solution!!
August 2, 2008The gods must have been reading my old post complaining about shave cream leaving rust in my tub. A few weeks ago, another blog did a review of a cheap (around $5) shave cream that some in a plastic shampoo-like bottle. Well, she didn’t like it very much and the company decided to give some [...]

July 12, 2008Wow
June 27, 2008So I’ve really gotten into the show So You Think You Can Dance? this season. This has to be one of the most beautiful and sexy things I have ever seen. Seriously. I want to sign up for dance classes so I can do this.
While I won’t go so far [...]
Swimsuits
June 8, 2008Kelly’s recent post about bra-sized swim suits really caught my eye.

I usually go the two piece/ different sizes route, but [...]
Transformation
April 30, 2008When we bought out house last year, the kitchen was the first thing that I tackled. And by first thing, I mean we closed on a Friday and I had about half of the wallpaper pulled down by Sunday.
This was what I started with. RIP. I won’t miss you.
Pulling the paper down and painting [...]
Moma!
April 7, 2008Every so often I rediscover the MOMA gift shop. Its really an amazing source for interesting things, and for the most part, prices are great too. Some things that cought my eye:
Inside out martini glasses. $65 for 2.
These look cool, and are a great solution to the whole problem of traditional martini glasses being [...]
Color!
March 28, 2008After years of dorm and apartment living, I really embraced color when I bought my house last year. I was so tired of white, lifeless walls! So now, my front hall is brick red, my kitchen is teal, my living room is a rich, creamy latte, and my dining room is soon to be leaf [...]
Visit me in Hell- I have a reservation at Table 8
March 21, 2008Have you ever seen the show Father Ted? Its ok if you haven’t- I only know about 2 people that have. Basically, its an Irish show about some crazy priests living on a crazy island. Its HYSTERICAL. And oh so wrong.
