Skeleton Apron.


First thought, I’ve been watching way too much Dexter because I automatically think of him when I see a long apron. Second thought, this skeleton apron would come in handy for messy me when I make caramel apples tomorrow night. Third thought, I’m short – I wonder whether or not all the bones would line up correctly?

LOT61 Wine Armoire.

You’ve seen my china cabinet turned bar cabinet which is my pride and joy, but I’m also loving the clean modern lines of the wine armoire from LOT61. It hold nine bottles, has four shelves, and is handcrafted from solid cedromacho wood and stainless steel.

PS: See the gray walls? That’s the exact shade I painted half of the interior of my house recently. I’m in the process of rearranging furniture and rehanging things, but I can’t wait to share because I’m so happy with it!

Handsome Dorian of Wye Plates.

Piper is not a delicate or ladylike sort of pooch, despite her hand-me-down pink Coach collar she’s a 40 pound tomboy. A bull in a china shop. A one girl wrecking crew. I love her to death, but I wish I could feed her off of these killer Handsome Dorian of Wye plates. And yes, they’re actually people plates so I could just eat off them myself, but where’s the fun in that?!

MONT ROSE.

I can count on one hand (okay, maybe two) the times I’ve been pro-wall covering for my own home. Whereas other people can commit to the permanence of the situation, I cannot. Then I saw this mural and immediately pictured it in my entryway. Those mountains! The muted tones! The freakin’ deer! And then I saw the price tag and realized the true reason I cannot commit to most wall coverings that I’m drawn to… {via design for mankind}

Reclaimed Oak Tub Caddy.

I want to be a bath person, but I’m just not. The only times I pop in for a soak are when I’m sick or depressed, others it just feels like I’m sitting there in my own filth waiting for the water to get cold. But then I saw this reclaimed oak tub caddy, and it makes me wish a were not only a bath person, but also a not clumsy person because it’s completely gorgeous. {via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks}

Dry or Die!

I’m tempted to buy one of these Dry or Die! tea towels for every member of my family. During the holidays after meal clean-up always turn into a battle of who gets to wash and who has to dry. Being the youngest, I inevitably get screwed every time. How rad would it be to oh-so-casually toss these at everyone as I take the reins at the sink? I assure you, very.

DIY Arrows.

Is this National Awesome DIY Project Week? Why didn’t anyone tell me?! I’ve come across some of the very best do-it-yourself projects ever over the past few days. Today it’s all about decorative arrows. I know you’ve seen them, priced them, then most likely run screaming for the hills. Lucky for us, Danielle Thompson took it upon herself to put together this phenomenal tutorial featuring three different types of arrow designs. I’ve got it bookmarked for one of those long winter days that are just around the corner.
