Rant/Rave: Pillow Fight

I love some sequins but this is too much:

No pillow is comfy when it's covered in sparkles.

bikes for baths

Jonathan showed this to me and I of course fell in love. 

It's all over pinterest too. 

Maybe I should learn how to ride a bike before I attempt such a thing...

Living in color

Everyday I walk by the museum store. And everyday I quickly glance in the window, just to see if anything catches my fancy. 

Recently, I did a double take because I saw this:

Yes people that is a pantone folding chair. They also have one in green.  

The same green that Ashbash sent me on a postcard. 

I've loved pantone ever since I was a little girl. I know that sounds strange, but really it's true.  

My dad had their color books for his work and I would always look through them, amusing myself with all the pretty colors, thinking of things to paint.

When I have reason, I will definitely be purchasing a few of these. 

Too perfect for words.

update: dresser, finished.

I finally found all the knobs for my craft dresser and now its finished!

Crafting for Craft Organization

I do love to craft and as a result I have many crafting supplies.  I recently moved to a new apt and realized I was lacking in craft supply storage space.  So as a poor grad student and crafter I decided to craft my new organization vessel.  I headed to the Habitat Restore to see if there was something that caught my fancy.  You have to keep an open mind when looking for furniture that you plan to refinish, all you need is a decent piece in the shape and size you want.  I found such a piece, an old kid’s dresser.  It didn’t look too sharp, but it was the right size, and only $20.00, holla!

After a quick trip to home depot to pick up some paint I was headed home to begin my project.

I moved it outside and removed all the knobs and wiped it down with a bleach-water spray, inside and out.  3 coats of blue later I was ready for stripes! 

 

1 ½ painters tape and 2 coats of grey led to the (almost) finished project.   

I’m still acquiring a variety of knobs to replace those drab wooden ones with, but it is ready to hold all my crafting fun!
