Garden Chair - Planting a Chair as a Garden

I ran across this over at Apartment Therapy. How darling is this chair? It would be cute in a front yard, back yard, just anywhere. This is fun. Now, I need a chair.

The Rachel Zoe Project - Bravo TV Season 2

Guilty pleasures? Mine is I love the Rachel Zoe Project. Okay it is junk food tv, but great junk food tv. If you have never caught it, the show is on Monday Nights on Bravo. Give it a peak. Let's just say, "I die, and Banannas!". Fun peak at a fashion stylist. I am waiting to see how the recession hurts her business. Roger lightly touched on it and Zoe did a bit, but let's face it Haute Couture is not what people are buying now. If you are in the mood for some fun mindless TV, this is it. Or not, up to you.....

Reading -- James Patterson's The Quickie

I know summer is for beach reading. So, what are you reading this end of summer? I just finished Julie & Julia. When I ran by the grocery store they had this on the rack for $4.79 in the large size that they have been making paperbacks in recently, not trade size, just taller and skinnier. It is supposed to be easier to read this way. Either way, I am so excited to start reading it, wanted to when it first came out in Hardback and never got one. So yeah for me and my new book. What are you enjoying reading?

DIY Boyfriend Jeans - Make Your Own

http://www.oldnavy.com. The jeans below are from Old Navy $19.00, no that is not a typo. Plus sizes online, regular sizes online and in stores.







Watching trashy (reality junk) TV the other day I saw an ad for the Old Navy Weekend Jeans. You know these jeans, they are the ones all the celebs wear called Boyfriend Jeans. Well $19.00 how can you beat that? I did! I went to my closet and got out a pair of old jeans that were a little loose, and stretch out fast, you know you have a pair, and was going to cut them off, but in the end just rolled them up 4 times, and poof, Weekend/Boyfriend Jeans!! Oh, and I saved $19.00. I absolutely love them, so comfy, so cheap, and way better than capris. I can't say enough about them. Only decision I have now is flats or heels? I'm off to dash to the store, so flats. I know you are thinking can you do this? Yes, absolutely. Just go digging in your closet.

Halloween Crafts - Dancing Ghost Ring

With the weekend coming up I was thinking about crafts to make and Halloween came to mind. I love Halloween, this year it is on a Saturday. Our neighborhood goes Halloween crazy. I have wanted to make these Dancing Ring Ghosts for along time. Maybe the time is now. Normally I do giant spiders and webs, but they are getting a little worn out, and I love the ghost ring. So, hmm, I will have to take a trip to my local Hobby Lobby, which already has Halloween out and look around. What fun. So are you thinking Halloween yet, it is back to school.

Halloween Ghost Ring 3 for $69.00 at Grandin Road. http://www.grandinroad.com


Also from Grandin Road in conjunction with Martha Stewart, these wonderful cardboard chandeliers.


More Ghosts!! Also from Grandin Road from their outlet. Yes, on sale for $12.00. Now that's a bargain.


Also from Grandin Road these fun metal luminarias. Might be fun as a craft out of paper bags.



Halloween crafts, better to get started now than later.

Great Movie Style - Set Design - White Paint

As I have said before in my blog, I am in the process of painting all the rooms a bright white. Set design, or movie style is always so fun to look at. The two pictures below show great movie sets. I'm afraid my rooms aren't quite that large as the house was built in 1947 and has cove ceilings, but the bright white is looking great so fat.
Set below from "Something's Gotta Give".

Set below from "Father of the Bride" and "Father of the Bride 2".
