I'm slightly obsessed with gift wrapping.
At the Blogger Social I recently attended we had a gift exchange and I brought these
boxes full of a "few of my favorite things".
Thanks to my sister-in-law Erin, she whipped up those custom tags which I've since attached to everything under the sun.
Cute, right?!
Erin has allowed me to share these tags with you (thank you Erin).
Before I do, let me tell you a little bit about her.
You may remember me highlighting her previously as being my very

A funny thing happened on our way to Vegas.
Two years ago we were making the 8-hour trek to Vegas to visit grandparents when my husband had a minor flip out. My 2 1/2 year-old (at the time) just got a new flashing light saber. 10pm and he was relentlessly banging my husband on the back of the head from the back seat with the thing. After repeated warnings, the Mr. pulled the car off the highway at some exit in the middle of nowhere, took the light saber and hucked it as far as he could in a field. (I can still picture that blue strobe
Mixing metals faux paux?
Kitchen is shaping up nicely.
Cabinets are done and the carpenter has been pestering me for my white paint selection
(which I still haven't chosen).
Hardware has been selected from Restoration Hardware.
Asbury Knob.
Aubrey Pull.
Faucet selections from Kohler (all in chrome).
(All of these look much better in person. Pictures don't do them justice).
First choice: The Torq.
Love the modern, sleek lines.
No fussiness to this kitchen jewelry.
A splurge, so it's out.

watching paint dry.
If you would have told me we'd still be at the stage we're at with this house months ago I wouldn't believe you. It's to the point of being comical
(except I've got gray hair and stress acne instead of the case of the giggles).
I could go on but I'll spare you the details.
On the other hand, here's what we HAVE done...
We're almost finished with electrical (wait, I said that three weeks ago).
The house has all new windows.
We demo'd the 70's rock and put in a gas fire place.

Kelly Edwards Interview.
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Kelly Edwards, co-host for the hit television shows Tacky House on Style Network and HGTV’s Design on a Dime, about making over your bathroom for under $200.
Here's a summary of our conversation:
Talk to me about your top elements to making over a bathroom on a budget?
Kelly: First I start with design style. I think you should always stick with a classic design scheme. Your bathroom is one of the places you get the biggest return on your

Yesterday I posted about this very cool owl lamp from West Elm (price $99.00) here.
I posed the idea of taking this owl I found at Goodwill for $3.99......which I sprayed white then wondered if I could make it in to a lamp.
One of my readers, Ashley, emailed me this fantastic Etsy find (price $45.00). Couldn't believe it...same exact owl as mine. Just needs a coat of white paint.
Great find Ashley!
