Diggin' this photo of a foyer.
And from the same home, this storage using bowls. I have some similar bowls that I wanted to use but didn't know how. Now I know. The bowls will sit on an antique dresser and hold jewelry and hair accessories.

I'll be getting some of these for family and friends. And I'm getting the sequined coin purse in "lipstick" (shown below). 100% of the profits go to support the fight against breast cancer. Click here to visit the site. I'm lucky to live in Wisconsin. Kohls stores in Wisconsin are selling the items and the website has 'em as well. I don't work for kohls or Vera Wang..I just love pink things and coin purses, and I love to help the fight against breast cancer!

Beautiful apartment that Dab Ito has (his blog). The apartment is so neat, organized, airy, spacious and just check out the brick interior! He is an avid thrift store shopper and finds vintage cameras and other cool items. I like his eye for design and collections.
many more photos of the apartment can be found here.

Hello! Am just finishing up the long weekend. Has been nice to have a vacation day tacked onto the three-day weekend. Spent the day sniffling with a slight cold but also picking up some great library books and a few groceries. Exciting stuff! The weekend was more fun – played bananagrams and cards with family and friends, spent loads of time with the niece and nephews, watched Leverage* – Season 1 on DVD (free thanks to the library), and went to church with my mom and her best friend.
*Leverage. Holy cow. Great show. Amazing cast. The script is well written with no extra words. Each episode has cons, heists, humor and some romance.

It's no secret that I love IKEA. However, when my sister in law Maya visited recently, she walked through and said "Cute IKEA apartment." That's great, since I love the store, but now it's time to inject some of my own personality and creativity into the apartment. Thus it was "happy happy joy joy" time to find that IKEA Family Live on Facebook has a photo section of creative homes using their products. Hope you like them as much as I do.

Here's my niece, Mimo, before her first day of school. Apparently half-day kindergarten is not as fun as whole-day kindergarten because in the afternoon there's Art! and Computer! and "other good stuff!!" according to Mimosa. I have to say…she's a cute kindergärtner, isn't she?!miss minimalist: no, I have not changed my name…but Francine at Miss Minimalist asked me if she could put my closet makeover on her blog..and she has. You can read about it here and it refers you to my other blog.
the holiday weekend is almost here (in the U.S.). What will you be doing with your extra long weekend?
I'm taking an extra day so will be on a mini-vacation from Saturday through Tuesday. Planning to see the new Drew Barrymore movie, clean some spots* out of the carpet with my new "rubba scrubba" tool from flylady, read, watch the first season of Leverage and visit family.*This is not an ad for the rubba scrubba, but I have some stubborn spots in the beige carpeting I can't get out..and I'm a renter! I need to get the spots out if I ever plan to move out! So I got the rubba scrubba in the mail, bought some carpet cleaner at the dollar store, and the combo is getting out every spot! I have to use some elbow grease of course but the work is worth it. The carpeting looks so much better. Am working on it 15 minutes at a time because as flylady says, "You can do anything for fifteen minutes!"
