Round Up: Adorable Aprons

June 9, 2010 | By | Comments (0)

I love aprons. They have the perfect mix of functionality and style, and there’s something very 1950s about the ones with full skirts. And whenever I’m doing more than just making pasta or heating up leftovers I make sure to wear one. I don’t think I’m that messy, but I prefer not to take the risk when it comes to staining my clothes.

Here are a few of my faves available right now:

How Does Your Art Make You Feel?

May 10, 2010 | By | Comments (0)

An easy, often affordable way to update a space is to add some fresh new art prints to the wall. You can even lean framed prints against the wall if you position them properly on a mantle or credenza. Art can do a lot to breath in fresh air to a space because often the introduction of pattern and color can make a noticeable difference. Additionally, art can also add personality and capture a certain mood that may make the room feel a bit more interesting which is why it is important to select work that resonates with you. Have you given this much thought?

Is your closet a nightmare? When you open your wardrobe do you do so very carefully to avoid being buried in a sea of stuff? If you need some help organizing your things, opt for bins. I use them for everything from book storage to magazines, socks, slippers, toys, mittens, you name it I store it in a bin of some shape and size. I found some handmade bins (also called fabric baskets or storage buckets) that I like that I want to share if you only imagine plastic or wicker — bins have come a long way! See for yourself…
