Come on, let’s go! I spied this lovely on Absolutely Beautiful Things, which always raises my spirits. I particularly like the wisteria growing on the porch. The house were I grew up had wisteria just like this. I used to babysit three of the sweetest kids in the world who lived in a tiny cottage about the size of this one.
Today I’m presenting on this Delft tea caddy, and then, I’m so ready for the weekend!
I’m giving a presentation on this 1840’s painted table and I’m thrilled to have my first exhibition review run here!
I came across this tale of a woman who just couldn’t stop buying things via one of my favorite blogs, Yard Sale Bloodbath (yes, it is as good as it sounds). The hoarding woman went on Oprah, who helped her organize her belongings and sell the rest. The shot above is from the mammoth yardsale they had afterwards, where they made $13,000. The story of what they found under the piles of stuff is horrifying (in two words: black mold)!
This is a duct tape floor, via Crafster, via Cribcandy! Of course, I’m sure this might leave residue on your floor (duct tape seems to leave residue everywhere) but I love the idea some how. I’d want to do pink or white. Of course, I wonder if it might not be better to just PAINT your floor (I’ve seen lovely floors this way), as it might be a whole lot less work (and cost less). I think paint is cheaper than duct tape.
Anyway, I’m in the library as we’re in the final stretch of the term, so just a quick break.
I’m a container gardening nut — I spent the morning cleaning our terrace and getting ready to plant them for the summer. I love the phrase “city gardens”. I’ll be heading to NYC Grows (a urban gardening celebration) in Union Square tomorrow.
How delicious is this bouquet designed by Nicolette Camille? I love the light, the furniture, the beautiful green bowl. Discovered on charming new blog, Urban Flea.
