Wow. I am all shades of embarassed about the state of this room. This would have been the 4th bedroom of our home, but as our little cottage was built in the 50's and has very small rooms and non-functional closet spaces, a bedroom-to-closet convert was neccessary. Thank you Felicity and Zach, you are renovating geniuses! :)

To Do List:

+ Purge! Get rid of all old clothing we do not wear or recycle it into something for the girls
+ Dance around and celebrate after salvaging long lost favorite shirts and dresses from floor
+ 4982343 loads of laundry, roughly
+ Pick a fabric that I won't get sick after two weeks and sew curtains
+ Find old chair for sewing table
+ Invest in a more compact ironing board
+ Hang art
+ Find small craft table for the girls so we can all craft at the same time
+ Invest in coordinating wooden hangers
+ Get rid of boob-shaped light fixture
+ Replace with something along the lines of this or a charming chandelier.

Wish me luck! I`ll keep you all posted :)

scratchy, scratchy, itchy, itchy...

vintagetreasures

Online shopping is such a blessing and a curse. I have found no better way to deal with a double dose of laryngitis and bronchitis and an ongoing case of hives than to visit my favorite stores from the convienience and comfort of my bed. Most of the time, it's harmless window shopping, but every now and again, I find something I feel like I need to have, hit the darned submit button and end up with two cute pairs of buckled vintage sandals at my doorstep. Ooops! I either need to get better soon or find myself a new sick hobby.

In other news, I finally started hanging a frame ensemble on our blank staircase wall. The pictures in them still need to be replaced with some old photographs of our families, the girls' sonograms, wedding pictures, etsy prints, and other sentimentals; but for now, I am adopting the cute little fluffy blonde that greets me on my way up the stairs as my own and pretending that I am the hot mama sitting on the beach and enjoying the waves.

Hope your new year has been off to a productive and healthy start!

What projects are y'all itching to complete?!?
