I’m working on the WORST JOB EVER.
Otherwise known as scraping the chippy old stain off of my deck.
My boys are on holidays at the lake with Grandma & Grandpa, so I feel like I should be doing something WAY more fun than scraping and re-staining. Blurg.
We all know Christine of Bijou and Boheme, right? She’s one of those people that always makes me think “… seriously, is there anything this girl can’t do???” She has the most amazing home, styled to perfection. Her blog is full of gorgeous inspiration, but is also personal and sometimes funny (she has a way with made-up words like ‘pooptastic’). And… she can PAINT. Man, I admire artists.
Christine’s paintings just keep getting bigger and better. Go see them at Wink of Pink.
I ordered this fabulous little painting a couple of weeks ago:
It came tied with a pretty ribbon and a handwritten thank-you note.
Here’s a closer look:
Awesome, right? I love it.
ps… I read that you should choose one instagram filter and stick to it for ‘branding’ and ‘consistency’. But, omg, I just can’t decide, and plus, doesn’t that take away some of the fun of instagram? But then I end up with a different one for each shot. Gah. Now I kind of get it.
My Mom and Dad are ready to start the second phase of their house renovations, including the bedrooms and bathrooms. The first room on the agenda is the guest bath. My Mom is looking for something dramatic, and fortunately she and I have very similar taste!
Here are the inspiration shots:

We are going for a black, white, and gold scheme. We love the gold fixtures and the double curtain in the Ace Hotel room, the black tile border in the David Cafiero room, and the dark vanity with the gold sconces and mirror in the Barrie Benson room. We haven’t decided on a wall colour yet… maybe white? maybe light gray?
We already have the sconces, and they are so fabulous!!! Can’t wait to see this room come together! I wish it was going in my own home!
Here’s the design board:

I started using Instagram when I got my iPhone this spring, and I’m totally hooked. I’ve been having fun documenting simple moments every day. It’s so much easier to snap a quick phone pic… I find that I’m capturing things that I used to miss when I had to run and find my point/shoot. Here are some shots from our time at the lake last week:
*** I used PicMonkey to make the collages and add the words to the photos. It was so easy to use… I’d recommend giving it I try if you are looking for a simple photo editor***
