Schoolhouse Electric

The next project in my house is the bathroom lighting/mirror situation. I've just been putting up with what I got, but I'm tired of that! I'm embarrassed to post the before pics, until I get the afters :) Since our house is 100 years old, I want to mix the old with the new. So I'll be getting a framed mirror and a 3-bulb schoolhouse vanity light ( which I am still shopping for )


In the meantime, checkout Schoolhouse Electric.

Here are some great google images ( and some images from SE )

Clam Shells and Coral

I have a small obsession with seashells and coral. In fact, I just bought 2 more large white coral pieces ( yes, the real thing ) to place around the house. I cant get enough.

I havent put out my shells quite yet ( I display them in glass apothecary jars in the entryway ) but what I'm reeeaaallly wanting is a giant clam shell. Anyone wanna buy it for me ;) ? The one I want is at Z Gallerie and Ballard. There actually are several real ones on ebay as well, but they are $$$.

DIY Outdoor daybed...soon to come

I've put indoor projects on hold for a while, since we've been so busy with the yard and gearing up for summer.

My  next project will be the biggest DIY project I've done. I've never cut a piece of wood in my life, but thanks to Ana at Knockoffwood.blogspot.com, I feel the urge to build.
So the next project is to build daybeds for the backyard. We entertain fairly often, and have NO seating in our backyard. We are having a big ol' party in June and I thought I'd better get goin on this.
Here's a few examples as to what I'm goin for, hopefully we'll start this project this week. Hubby and I will be building two...

Pioneer Woman!

I did it! I met the wonderful, truly BEAUTIFUL, Ree Drummond and her daughter. Marlboro Man's Mom was even there :)
Ree is seriously so sweet, and obviously funny, and so so pleasant to be around. I reeeallly hope she comes back to Seattle. I lurve her. Look at her!!!

and her sweet daughter , who was running around with her mommas camera. Seriously, she is her mother's daughter, look at how cute she is. (sorry, so blurry, we were reallllllly excited to get a pic, thank you for the pics Alicia! )

Ree Drummond!

Guess who I'm meeting today!! The Pioneer Woman, my favorite redheaded female. Hopefully pics to come !

Missoni

My love for Missoni runs deep in my bones. If I was wealthy enough to have a microwave and wine chiller in my friggin closet ( see post below ) you better believe that my closet would be adorned by Missoni.
I so wish I could find a legit knockoff of their blankets and cushions. But in the meantime, this is what I got..
