I can’t decide if these are “heelarious”, amazing, or disturbing.

Living Large in the Living Room

Posted by Samantha on July 7, 2008 – 11:07 pm

OH MY GOODNESS. I NEED THIS. In some great accent color (other than red/white/blue) in my LIVING ROOM. It’s ginormous and wonderful. I love big things. This could be the biggest big thing I’ve ever wanted. Ever.

Remember that great glass pendant light from a couple posts ago? Well, I found them at Design Within Reach. (Which is a horrible name for this company, because everything is most definitely out of my reach…)

Oh, they’re so lovely. Now I think I just have to have it for the new dining room. How to find $250…

No Pudge is Less Pudge

So tonight we tried our first batch of “No Pudge Brownies“. They’re fat-free and easy to make, just mix in a cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt and bake… and they’re WONDERFUL! We recently renewed our gym memberships and are trying to make some changes with diet and exercise, so these are a great find! (2 points per serving if you’re doing weight watchers). Go buy a box!

I’m also keeping track of my exercise progress over at Gyminee.com with my friend, Rebekah. Let me know if you sign up there and we can be GymBuddies!

This is Old Man Connour. We rescued him from an antique shop in Hannibal, MO. He’s going to have a prominent place in either our new living room or dining room once he’s framed.

I Can Do It- Part Deux

So I remember a craft project from my elementary years involving wrapping string around a balloon, soaked in starch, left to dry, then taking out the balloon and you have this cool looking, rigid web-like ball. So my logic is, bigger balloon, more starch, more string, right?

I want Blinn to wear these exact clothes. Everyday. For the REST OF HER LIFE.

Industrial Chic

So I do like some industrial decor things, as long as they’re softened down a bit. I also love to attempt, or think that I can make, things that are most likely out of my skill set, like say, beds made out of plumbing that probably require some welding and a ginormous saw of some kind.

What I’m confessing is that I am unrealistically optimistic when it comes to hand-crafting things. (Gotta love that can-do attitude though, right?)

So, with that preface, I could TOTALLY make these awesome beds…
