Home Office Thoughts {aka dining room}
Hmm....
I've been browsing through my Flickr favorites today, as i'm trying to come up with some inovative ways to decorate/set up our mutual dining room/home office. This picture just stood out, what do you think?
image by O!Rachew!
I could not only use each clipboard as a to-do list, but maybe also a calender, or to just post inspiration photos.
What do you think? Too much? Or any other idea's like this?
Hmmm. I'm still thinking.

DecorAddict needs your help! {and happy weekend!}
I emailed AT today, as I'm truly at a loss. My hubby and I recently purchased a
Malm King size bed from, but I can't decide on nightstands.....trying to shy away from the Malm nightstands....as I think they go too well. Know what I mean?
You can see the thread, and comment here!
Looking forward to seeing every one's suggestions, and I just can't seem to find anything that goes, or that I like so far.

Ready Made Magazine
I spent some time in the magazine section of Chapters over the weekend, trying to find myself a viable replacement for the demise of Domino.
The only North American glossie that held my attention and kept me coming back for more was ReadyMade. I'll admit, it's the first time I've actually bought the magazine, however I have been a frequent visitor to their website for some time now.
Now, I wasn't able to find much on their website about their current issue, so I've taken some photo's of my own copy...c'mon ReadyMade! Get to it!
I grabbed the Feb/Mar 2009 issue, whose theme is entertaining at home - a great idea considering these grim economic times. But, what really grasped my attention were the most original DIY ideas, along with the instructions on how to execute them!
Chalkboard Wine Rack - LOVE THIS!
"Hiding the Uglies"
...you know the culprits, icky thermostats, old radiators etc...
But, my ultimate favorite has to me this quirky funky ceiling fixture, made from 12 glass balls from CB2.
AND, they give you the FULL instructions on how to do it!!!
This is something I may just have to try on my own.
Not only is ReadyMade for the DIY lover, but for the interiors fan as well. With a house tour a feature in every issue, along with a food feature, and entertaining tips, this may just be my new favorite glossie. Especially with Domino out the window (yes, I'm still mourning)
Thank you ReadyMade. You have just restored by creative mental block.
UPDATE: I just found a digital issue of ReadyMade here!

Craft Magazine is no more {online version to stay!}
This is getting really depressing.
from their website:
"Two and a half years ago, inspired by the DIY creativity of a growing number of indie crafters, we launched CRAFT Magazine along with its companion website, Craftzine.com. Since then, we've become an integral part of the new craft community. We've been fully committed to encouraging more people to discover the joy of crafting."

UPDATE: Craft is no totally extinct - online version is here to stay! Yay!

Extinguishing the Winter Blahs {House of Turquoise}
It’s February, it’s still winter, and I feel like i’m living in a black and white movie. Going outside is at the point that it’s depressing. I’m no longer saying “but it looks so pretty when it snows!” especially when i’m at the office digging myself out of yet one more snow bank. I swear I was not meant to live in this climate!
Enter COLOUR. Our new apartment doesn’t have one white wall in it, which is a first for me in YEARS. I’m sooo tired of white walls. Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about that any more. What’s funny, is when you do live with white walls, you are scared to paint. But when you live with colour, you could paint every weekend. Colour inspires me.
When I’m tired of looking at my own walls, of course i’m continually looking for colour on the web. Enter Erin Olson. Blogger extraordinaire! She author’s 12 blogs!!! OMG! Twelve! But, what’s most original about them, is each is dedicated to a specific colour, or colour scheme. Brilliant!
Her most popular and my personal favorite is House of Turquoise . Perfect viewing for dark and dreary days, the photo collections found here will instantly perk you up!
Her other colour blogs are Black and White Delight, Pink and Brown Love, Everything Turquoise, The Chocolate Blues, Just Blue & Green, and Pink & Green Scene. Her personal blog can be found here.
So Lovely!

Love This! {pastel masking tape}
I MUST have this. Pure genius. Beautiful. Pretty. Love this! The Japanese are brilliant!
See the full details here, or you can get them via DWR as well.
There is soooo much you could do with this!!! I can't even begin to imagine the possibilities. Masking tape just doesn't have to be for taping your trip before you paint, you can use this in so many of your craft projects. Collages, scrapbooking, OMG this is the best thing since I discovered my craft punch that rounds corners.
Yes, I'm losing it obsiously.
Thank you to the kazillion other blogs that have already posted this...I had to share this as well!!!
