Happy Monday! How are you doing? It was a good weekend for me--went shopping on Friday night, taught some Pilates classes on Saturday morning, went shopping AGAIN (i don't get to go that often...that's my excuse for two trips in two days), this time to the outlets north of Cincinnati (by the way, if there is a Banana Republic Factory Store near you, get there before June 11th because they are having some crazy good sales!), celebrated Patrick's birthday on Saturday night, then had a lazy Sunday that ended with a potluck at church (aren't those the best!?). My weekends usually are pretty laid back--when I wrote all this down though, it seems like I packed in a lot!
Here are some lovely photos to brighten your Monday from the awesome
bomobob etsy shop. All the Catholic churches close by are hosting carnivals, so I thought it was appropriate! He also blogs
here. While I found his work browsing through etsy, apparently the people at
Apartment Therapy liked what they saw too--way to go and congratulations on that feature!
Plates become wall art...an artistic twist on displaying plates individually as art themselves--why not create a beautiful display using the plates collectively?
I've been looking for a traditional coat rack for some time now, so I really like this idea--a piece of driftwood becomes a place to hang your coat or bag. Looks very Pottery Barn-esque to me. Now if only I lived close to the ocean to find such a piece!
This is a terrific idea--utilizing a sliding closet area as a little office. I don't have any closets like this, but if I did, I think I know what I would do with it!
Simply gorgeous and elegant--but it's just a wire basket with a few votives and decorative accessories added! Lovely!
And this one is just some calendar images that were matted and framed. You could do this with anything--including cute little cards (like the ones I sell in my shop!)
