THINGS I'm loving these days


1. SURFCAT... Does your library have this? It's a way for you to reserve library books at home online. For some reason even though I can "see" a book I want online and it says it's "ON SHELF" it never is. So this way I can just reserve what I want and the library calls me when they have it!

2. From Martha's site- The "Organizing Tip of the Day." SUCH simple ideas!!! Love it.

3. And I'm DEFINITELY doing this for the white open shelving I'm planning for the kitchen wall with white plates on it. A DIY project.. dot painted china. Can't wait to hit the cheapie stores for some cheap white plates to start this project. I don't think I'll use Martha's templates (sorry M but I'm not liking your Monogram "S". I'm thinking more along the lines of some scripted "S"'s in my color Blue,Robin's nest egg blue, and maybe some shells). This will be a fun project.

My weekend project:
I have to post a pic of J's new valance. I took the valance that was in her old room striped it green and white and painted "Juliette's Tea Room" across the front of the valance.

Her old room was a take off of the whole Bombay kid's GIGI theme. I couldn't replicate the room here because the store went out of business and she wanted a change. So we brainstormed and came up with the idea of a "Shabby chic tea party room." I think my 5yo dd has a future in decorating. SHE comes up with the best ideas (like wanting a Pinkalicious Birthday Party). She's sooo creative.


HAPPY MONDAY! (really gotta homeschool these kiddos now)
