0 A Room with a View…or Two

>> Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Let’s talk about an amazing view for a moment, shall we? Excuse me. A 6.2 million dollar amazing view…

This panoramic 2 bedroom/2.5 bath Seattle penthouse not only boasts unbelievable water views, but killer downtown skyline sights as well.

I’ll take Seattle up on its 226 days of gloom per year for digs like this. I am so in.

5 Before & After: Emily’s Candlesticks

>> Tuesday, June 29, 2010

I don’t know about you, but every thrift store I frequent (including my all time favorite—the Habitat for Humanity ReStore—Never been? We need to talk.) always has tacky brass candlesticks on hand for as little as $0.50 a pop.

image 


By simply employing the use of a can of spray paint, you can turn these guys from a tacky mess to a mix-and-match masterpiece. Take Emily’s before & after for example…

Pretty fabulous, right?

Caterpillars like dill. True story…

IMG_6436IMG_6443 IMG_6444


My fingers are crossed that these guys creep you out as much as they do me, especially when they stick their orange feelers in the air and look at you like they are going to pounce on your face…

image 

Lucky for these Black Swallowtail caterpillars (fancy Google skills helped me out with that one) they eventually grow out of their ugly duckling stage…

image 


…So squish them, I did not, and these backyard friends lived to see another day—after being catapulted across the yard.

Add a rustic charm to any porch or patio by using recycled dresser drawers to house herbs and flowers.

0 The Cool Indoors

>> Sunday, June 20, 2010

Whoa. I think it is safe to say that there will be little to no yard work on Monday or Tuesday in this neck of the woods…

…or Tuesday through Friday for that matter.

Ralph & June asked that I remind you to keep an eye on your animals during this hot spell and make sure they have plenty of water to cool their puppy paws. Have a great week, friends!
