Home Makeover

Monday, February 16th, 2009
I have been trying to make my apartment pretty. I get it to where I’m happy with the way it looks and, two days later, I absolutely hate it and have to start over.
I love Design Sponge and one of my favorite sections is the Sneak Peeks, where you get to see artists’ homes and studios. They are so inspiring! I recently saw Jill Bliss‘ place and fell in love with her breakfast nook. I’m not sure if that’s what it is, maybe it her dining area. Either way, I think it’s pretty darn wonderful. So, with that in mind, I set out to make my tiny dining room a little more Jill-esque. It still has a long way to go but I like it so far. I’ll be sure to show you when it’s totally finished.

BEFORE


I moved all my furniture out of the space so I could start from scratch.

AFTER


It still needs work, artwork on the wall, and specially more color but we’ll get there soon.

…and a "huge" one!!!

Monday, January 26th, 2009

I was watching TV a little while ago when, all of a sudden, I heard this horrible noise…like the world was coming to an end kind of noise.

Next I saw the cat run out of the bathroom and I obviously thought he did something! Well, I went in and all I found was the soap dispenser on the floor…so what happened???

Let me show you


Disaster area (my magazine shelves came crashing down)


And from the other side


This is where my book/magazine shelves used to be. I guess they were too heavy!!

A "Little" Accident

Monday, January 26th, 2009

I was warming up dinner the other night and when it came out of the oven…this is what it looked like:

The lid flipped completely inside out! That’s never happened to me before!

And this is what I ended up with after trying to fix it.

Something blue…

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

I’ve “felted” way too many sweaters in my life but this is ridiculous! I have this light blue area rug and it was filthy so…I have to wash it, right?
Well, here’s what I found when I opened the washing machine!!! The thing is in the dryer now and I’m scared to look.
I’ll show you in a few minutes…


This is the inside of my washer after I pulled the rug out.


And some of the fuss that got everywhere!


Even on the floor!
