window pick-me-up.

we are so close to being done with the our
office/craft room/creative inspiration space.

after priming, painting and trimming...

but before the fab new window dressings. 

thank you threshold.. a whole new reason to love target.

like anyone seriously needed another reason

to love target...

also, thank to my live-in handyman slim for the

perfect hanging job at 10pm on a school night!

more decoration and updates to come.

moisture problem.

we have a serious "moisture problem"

some might call it mold or mildew or dampness.

we have a lot of closet space.

 i use almost all of lea's closet, 

 (yes, our guest room is named lea's room)

half of our bedroom's closet & the hall closet.

with all that space, and the recent wet weather & our sweet 

old house's inability to "air out" i have found some 

of my beloved material objects fury & gross.

i placed a bunch of shoes in their boxes up

there in the closet thinking the would be safe..

my wedding shoes & much loved boots & booties 

(see there, i still have my sixpence in my shoe!)

got the mold! i flipped and quickly read how to get rid

of mold/mildew...they say a good vinegar scrub

 & direct sunlight should do the trick...

luckily we had a few very sunny days.

i'm so looking forward to cooler weather so 

hopefully i can clean everything out & get rid of

any residual moisture that might be growing.

my fingers are crossed.

sneak peak...

a few snaps from ikea's new 2012 catalogue.

i dig the dots & color mix & the headboard.

love the color & design.

i think i'll need @least 3 of these.. crafts, kitchen, bathroom...

we actually do need a new faucet...

and this is so farmy & would fit perfectly & thats our sink!

i'll take one of each please!

love the funky mod & vintage style mix.

can't wait to see the whole catalogue!
