Just a thought….

What if...

I were to upholster these two chairs in

SWISS ARMY BLANKETS?

Yes...No...Maybe So???

Whoops I did it again…..Lampapalooza.

Another trip to my local habitat store

and I found yet ANOTHER lamp I apparently needed.

This one is HUGE and HEAVY…and I have no clue what to do with it… sigh.

My first thought was to use it outside in our covered area by the pool

But in bringing it home, the shade was ruined…it was fugly anyway…but now another shadeless lamp is at our casa.

What would you wise and savvy folks do

hmmmm?

It does need a taller harp for sure

Half gallon of milk to give you an idea of size….

Ooooh….and do you love the Swiss Army blanket I picked up too???

I do!

So give a girl a hand…suggestions…ideas….ever seen a lampapalooza like this?

Lets skip down memory lane together and take a peek at the other Habitat lamp *finds* I have dragged home

shall we?

The above water bottle lamp was transformed last year…remember it here

…This not so little brass guy was rescued from Habitat

The guy above…hiding behind the paperwhites…just needed a new shade and some love. 5 bucks.

…Then there is this little lady.

Dayum…I have lit up the casa with some Habitat Lighting…

who Knew?

Support your local Habitat for Humanity

…go buy a light for Heaven’s sakes.

Projects for a long weekend…

So…With paint brush in hand…I have a lofty goal of panting all of our windows black.

maybe not all this weekend

but it is a goal

before…yucky ugly metal on guest house

My plan is to also paint our house…again, not this long weekend…but this year…

I am looking at a classic hacienda white

Inspiration pics from pinterest

While I painted and dreamed…I also got a call…ran out…and spent the rest of the day and night helping a new baby into the world…

Others…not so motivated,…

Held down

The fort…

*sigh*

Color suggestions?

Motivational speeches for the Big Black Dog?

….Come with me…

In this new year of 2012…to Palm Springs California…if you would

To a beautiful little boutique hotel

the Korakia Pensione

Nestled at the base of Mt San Jacinto

This Mediterranean/Moroccan retreat was built in the 1920’s as an artists studio

and has been beautifully cultivated into a

romantic and dare I say, Sexy, hotel...

It has meandering candle lit paths…pools and fountains throughout the property

At once aged….yet hip.

Weekends are reserved for morning yoga.

The rooms are peaceful

white…uncomplicated

Maybe 2012 won’t be half bad.

Whose in??
