Head to the ATM…

…because it’s officially garage sale season and I’ve never seen someone take credit or debit in their front yard. So get your cash ready.

Last weekend we went to a neighboring town’s city-wide garage sale, and aside from snagging a fairly large Coleman cooler for $5 and some infant clothes for our friend who’s expecting, we didn’t come away with much. However, before that we’d stopped at a garage sale our alma mater was holding at the storage building and I almost got a huge metal and wood office desk for $2. Would have been a steal but we have no place for it right now and we don’t want to carry it up the stairs. I did, however spend my $2 on this little beauty:

Gray is the “it” color right now and in our next place I want to do all the walls cohesively in shades of gray. I’m so excited about the color of this little utility cart and how great it looks as a side-table. Just think, people spend hundreds of dollars to get this look, and I got it for 2! It’s now between the two brown rocking armchairs on the far wall of the living room. The table that was there before, that Doug’s brother built (he has some mad skills!) has migrated it’s way to the kitchen.

I know it’s hardly original at this point, but how great does that gray look with the yellow wall color?

Seriously, I’m in love. I can’t stop staring at it while I write.

Window in Window

I got this old school window from my cousin in Oklahoma. It fits perfectly standing up in my living room window.

Love it or hate it?

Ahead of the Curve

I’m Green. And I ain’t talking about environmentalism…

Yesterday I checked out the article Green In The Bedroom (The Next Big Color) on Apartment Therapy. Since that article was published, they’ve added two more pointing out green in the kitchen and green furniture. This all points back to another article published after a January visit to Maison & Objet in Paris about green. Green in the bedroom, you say?

Guess who’s already totally ahead of the curve:

Very pumped about being at the forefront of color fashion!
