DIY coffee table, Design Sponge and Home

I love love love the amazing Design Sponge. Do you? You should. I think you would.

I was very happy to have my little DIY salvaged coffee project table published yesterday:

I try to always keep things simple. I don't have a ton of patience (this is why I have ZERO sewing skills) I have a very short attention span and love instant gratification. This is why I love tiny projects that roar. It's very encouraging and inspiring to see fellow designers react to the project. Thanks to everyone who took a second to say so!

So since your visiting via D*S, and appreciate good things, I thought I'd take a chance to share with you a link to a very lovely and inspiring adventure I took last summer through an old empty home in Illinois =)

Enjoy!

A very weird musical craving this morning helped me post a few of those promised items, Fine art Photographs and one adorable blue dress!


Shopping carts




The photo totally does not do this dress justice!! Someone (size 2) buy it and photograph themselves in it to prove my point!!

So, I love watching Jeopardy! and sometimes I think about what my "statement of significance" would be ..you know.. when Alex introduces you.. and then says: "You once offered the president advice..." then asks you to explain yourself..

Well I don't have one. I do however know "what's in my toolbox".

I'm a Design Sponge addict, and love reading the "What's in your toolbox?" articles. I was thinking this morning about what my "toolbox" holds.. and it's simple: #1 most important: Measuring tape. #2: Camera and of course #3 the Internet. Those three tools have helped me gain income over the past 11 months. The first one is old as time.. The second and third are ways of communicating. I love providing beautiful things for beautiful people.

I wish I could communicate with more people more often.. Maybe its time to try twitter??

Thanks again, for keeping me in [my own] business!!
