Room For Change

So, in case you didn't know, I have a backround in Interior Design. You wouldn't know it by looking at that last post. As an excuse I will say designing for yourself is the hardest, especially with caviar taste, a beer budget, two kids and no time. Anyway after reading a post on Exotic Fabrics by Jennifer over at The Peak Of Chic, I was inspired, or should I say, I became obsessed! I decided to design a room around this fabric, "Kipling" by Lee Jofa. So, I decided to put it on this "Presidio" couch by William Sonoma. My next post will include the basics in the room, more seating, coffee table, media storage, and bookcases, ect. Then rug, curtains and lighting. Finally, accesories.

Progress, Not Perfection

So, this is where I am at. It doesn't look like much but it is serious progress. I need to put the boxes under the bed, hang the pictures, and find storage for the rest of the stuff. I hung the shelf all by myself! Does anyone else save boxes to wrap gifts in? I think I save too many. Where am I supposed to keep them? I almost forgot, we are pulling the stuff out of the closet and filling it with shelves, so that's where they will go. I think if I want that project done I will have to do it myself. Ugh. Can I build it? Yes I can!

More XMas Gifts

Here are some of my gift ideas for my parents for Christmas. I love the cooper hose pot! Both are from Frontgate! They are so hard to buy for. They don't need anything. I think next time I am there I will pay more attention and see what things they already own that can be updated, towels, sheets, tablelinens, ect...
BTW My parents chose the big round showerheads for ALL their showers, inside and out!!!
PS sorry about the last post, you really didn't need that kind of info!!

Time of Month

Yup, it is that time of month. No wonder i've had the urge to eat and clean lately. Well today I have terrible cramps and therefore have decided to do nothing!!!! I am catching up on my blog reads, sitting on the couch, laptop in hand , two boys climbing all over me who are supposed to be watching the stupid TV which I said we were cutting back on. Don't you hate that? I need me time. Last night I was able to get out, I offered to go get the ingredients for the dinner I was craving-Chicken Ceasar. Ariving you nutsnyway, I have a whopping six things on my list and the grocery store is a whopping 7 minutes away... I was gone an hour! I just wandered, cause it was so nice to be alone!!! Is that awful?
A direct quote..."Monks, You are driving me CRAZY!"
And the reply..."No Mom, I'm driving you NUTS!"

I leave you with this, hope your day is better then mine.

Outdoor Shower

OK people, which showerhead would be better in an outdoor shower? By the way they are both from Fontgate.
