MWF Seeks a Little Inspiration



I’m a big fan of art that offers a more abstract translation of inspiration rather than a literal one. Though, I do have one letterpress print hanging in my bedroom that I absolutely adore (first one above). Curious.

So on this Monday I’m just wondering…how do you feel about them?

Frugal Fridays - Fitting the Mold



I have long been obsessed with Eames chairs in all shapes and sizes. Lately, however, it's been the molded plastic editions that really get my heart racing. (Seriously, when I hit the jackpot on Craigslist, it was almost better than, well, you know. I'm just sayin'.) While I am by NO means a brand name snob, there are some things I simply won't bend on for a knockoff. You know, important things, like medication, wine, and purses. Chairs on the other hand, especially these chairs that look EXACTLY the same? Yeah, I could get down with that.

P.S. I lied a tad about the wine. Two Buck Chuck owns my heart.

There's something really captivating about this bedroom. The pale colors of course, but also the lines of the bed, and the simplicity of the interior. I feel like I'd sleep forever there. Mmmm, sleep.

Dear Husband...



Here are the top 20 reasons why:

20.) Your delicious cooking (specifically your spaghetti sauce).
19.) Your forgiveness of my less-than delicious cooking.
18.) Your dedication to shows like The Bachelor and Real Housewives of ___ .
17.) Your deep-rooted love of ‘90s rap.
16.) Your acceptance of my inappropriate laughter.
15.) Your patience with my need to scatter flip-flops throughout our home.
14.) Your ridiculous soft feet that make it clear mine never see socks.

(Except for today, of course.)
11.) Your cooperation in recognizing cheese as a basic food group.
10.) Your tolerance of my decorating triumphs and tragedies.
9.) Your oath to always have my back. Even when I’m wrong. Not that I ever
am.

microbrews.
7.) Your readiness to kill the bugs I will not.
6.) Your knack for making me feel pretty even when I look homeless.
5.) Your willingness to choose from only our four approved adjectives when asked about my outfit: cute, hot, fun, beautiful.
4.) Your dashing good looks.
3.) Your adoration of my side of the family and all their quirks.
2.) Your optimism that acts to balance out my cynicism.
1.) Your unwavering acceptance and love for me…in sickness and in health.

Happy anniversary, sweets. Marrying you was the best thing I’ve ever done.

Toast of the Town


There are many things I love about our condo. To name a few, it’s cozy, easy to clean and prevents a lot of, ahem, unwelcome guests. Then again, there are things I’m unable to do because of limited space. You know, like have any privacy, or try P90X in my living room. Not that I WOULD do P09X, but it’d be nice to have the option. A more realistic desire, however, is to have a great bar. A glorious built-in complete with wine cooler, crystal highballs and glass shelves. Oh, and a great view, and maybe a swanky couch to enjoy it from. That’s not asking too much, right? Rigggght.

Frugal Fridays - Headliner


Man, I love me some Target. Not only is this a great price for a tufted headboard, but I actually like it better than most of the others I've seen. Cheap and chic. I totally support that message.
