Morning's Light

As I've posted twice already, I did not intend to post again this afternoon.
Then I ran across this photo on Barb's blog HappySimple and had to post it!
Loving the colors, the ladder on the wall, the print and chalkboard above the couch.

It's midweek.  Wednesday.  Which means one thing.  The weekend is on its way!  
Ever been overwhelmed or overtired and ended up being able to focus only on one thing at a time?
That's my week.  Monday night = work out, eat dinner, go to bed early.  Tuesday night = grocery shop, make dinner, watch Huge online (love that show!), go to bed too late.  Tonight = work out, dinner, hopefully go to bed early. 

I think too much.  So when driving home from work, I think about all I want to accomplish and it's all swirling around in my head.  I should do the Getting Things Done recommendations and get it all out on paper so my mind can be more clear.  

What do you do when you feel overloaded or overwhelmed?

Happier note: here are photos from Candy Black's new studio.  They just moved into a place i think looks fabulous!

Before seeing this photo on Friday on an apartment therapy house tour, I picked up the same coat rack at the thrift store this week for three dollars on Tuesday.  Then at breakfast in a small town this morning, my friend Kirsten points out the very same coat rack is in the corner of the restaurant.  I asked the restaurant owner where she got the coat rack but she said it came with the restaurant when she bought it.  I have googled "antique coat rack"  "vintage coat rack" and even "industrial coat rack" (and coat trees)…and when I did…I found nothing on this particular one (anyone have a clue who sells this coat tree/rack?)..but I did find this cute online shop (Modern50) of all things vintage.  The items are beautifully photographed.  Here are two of my favorites: a French clothiers garment rack and a chalkboard.

It’s a quiet Saturday afternoon.
Enjoying the lack of air conditioner noise.

A friend visited from out of town yesterday.
Left this morning.

After lunch, I scored the August issue of Livingetc.
Will soon nap.
Then it will be movie time (eat, pray, love).

I like the shelves in this kitchen. And the refrigerator.

I keep staring at this bathroom.
Perfection.
