ork posters August 5, 2010 By admin 1 Comment while browsing through a magazine on the plane today i came across ork posters. i find their graphic prints of metropolitan cities so eye catching. i think they work in all rooms in the house. i would like to see a collection of them in a childrens room. seems like an aesthetically pleasing teaching tool to me.

chocolate velvet tufted headboard July 30, 2010 By admin 3 Comments typically i promote diy projects but when you find a great deal buying new is the way to go. this week i found a GREAT deal at costco. i came across this queen velvet tufted headboard for $119.00! $119.00 is a steal. last year i made my own headboard for $62.00. but if you want a deep tufted headboard i recommend buying it. it is really difficult to create the deep tufted look on your own. here is the exact headboard online for $288.00. it also comes in ivory. i e-mailed the company regarding the price difference, maybe they will match the price? this headboard is almost identical to the one at costco. they want $448.00! i couldn’t find the headboard on cotsco.com but i recommend calling your local costco to find out if they carry this item. it’s just too good to pass up. also, i picked one up for my mom, can’t wait to see how it looks in her guest bedroom!
shoe chaos July 27, 2010 By admin 2 Comments i am spending this week just south of the canadian border, montana. i am staying in my parent’s cabin with my 2 sisters, niece, nephew, and mom. although we are having a blast, we are also having shoe chaos. shoes seem to be everywhere, but ironically when you need a pair they are no where to be found. imagine if we had an armoire like this… {house and home} a place for everything. sounds heavenly, but i think front closets only stay that organized in the magazines! i love this diy shoe rack. {domino} a bookshelf with homemade roman shades, perfect.
