I kicked things off today with a few teensy tiny projects, just to feel like I'd done a little something visible in the house. I was inspired by Jolie posting her list and the bonus projects she's already done. So yeah - two little things done!

| First up, hanging a mirror on the door of the guest room closet. I've had the mirror for years (it used to be the only full-length mirror in the house), but never figured out where to put it. A couple of velcro Command strips later, BOOM. MIRROR. |

| I also hung this cute little clock that my mother-in-law got me for Christmas. It's plastic, and made for a kitchen, but I thought it worked better in the bathroom. I even already had a nail in the right place on the wall (it looks higher than it is in this picture). Super easy, and we didn't have a clock in the bathroom before! Also, hanging the clock meant cleaning off the top of the craft cabinet, since it was in a pile on top of the cabinet :) Bonus Goal! |
So, those are the two bonus achievements of the weekend. I need to grab myself some colored index cards so I can make my fancy hang-it-on-the-wall calendar...kind of like a cleaning advent calendar for the whole year, really.
Have a great week, clean friends.
I NEED THAT CLOCK! NOW. Also, your home is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm not sure where my mother-in-law bought it, but it's pretty cute :)
ReplyDeleteFound a kinda similar one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Square-Retro-Wall-Clock-Turquoise/dp/B0044OX636
But actually, I think it's this one (same brand, but in a different color): http://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Retro-Kitchen-Wall-Clock/dp/B006FVBYZI/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1390333821&sr=1-2&keywords=kikkerland+retro+kitchen+wall+clock

I'll follow I am only 13 but, I have been trying to find some good blogging sites to talk about life at my high school. Can you tell me a couple sites that teens will read all about my new high school? If you can thank you! Once again your really pretty! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNicole
Ok
ReplyDeleteYou're on my blog right now, Nicole! :) Not sure about blogs where you can post about your high school, but you should check out Rookie Mag and Hello Giggles -- especially Rookie Mag! Those are great for teens.
ReplyDeleteVisitd http://forum.itseovn.com, thank
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you mean by "this site", because this is the first time you've commented on my blog! I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, as I often write about :)
ReplyDeletehaha I mean like on other peoples things on here sorry for the confusion I have always wanted to see the San Francisco bay bridge. I live in Michigan but I used to live in Tennessee. It is cold up here right now how is it by you?
ReplyDeleteIt's not too cold out here - California is a pretty temperate climate!
ReplyDeleteoh. Well thank you very much for ur concern. BUT, do u know how 2 make an eco chocalote cake? U know, the 1 that's in a bucket with gummy worms? I need to know for an eco school thing. Also, i have a chocolate-ubssed friend who's b-day is coming up. What can I make? thanks
ReplyDeleteYou can find recipes for those "dirt cup" cakes all over the internet, just search on Google. I think it's usually, like, pudding with oreos crumbled on top and gummy worms sticking out. You should make your friend a chocolate cake, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me,what a go getter!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteI read some of the below threads with some degree of concern, and I hope all of that works out for the best for the people involved. I just wanted to say, when I got to the part in your post where it says, "BOOM. MIRROR," all caps, I had to laugh just a little. It reminded me of, like, an NFL highlight film: "BOOM. MIRROR." That juxtaposition of "hard-hitting" and "gentle, home oriented," really brought the mirth. Also, that photo, the one with the clock, is like, really nicely composed. I could look at it a while. The way the clock works with the towel -- mm, priceless. Then again, the clock-face and the wainscot, also well paired. Even if I'd have put the clock a little higher up in the frame, it's still very nice. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that. I have a friend that lives out in San Diego and he says its pretty nice out there. I have always wanted to live there and meet tons of celebs. Have you ever met any?

say Kim can you suggest any herbalists or organic garden types to follow?
ReplyDeleteI have met some celebs - I grew up in Los Angeles. More celebs there than in San Diego, I think!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, I have no idea. Maybe do a Google search for "herbalist 'powered by disqus'" or "organic garden disqus" to find users to follow.
ReplyDeleteyes, but WHAT kind? Like, what should I put on it?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think people are responding to comments in the Disqus dashboard instead of on the blog, so they're not getting the full context of the conversation.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked "BOOM. MIRROR." -- I like saying BOOM when I complete projects. Makes the accomplishment feel more exciting.
like what kind of chocolate?
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know. I'd say pudding for the main part, or cake mix from a box if you want it to be cake? And crumbled oreos? And maybe those chocolates that look like rocks, and gummi worms?

thank you!
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeleteI love the clock, it'd just look great in my new kitchen (hint hint mother-in-law) but what pray tell are you needing to time in the bathroom? Excess showers, too long book reading whilst on the...... Or some other un-named activity that happens in your porcelain room?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's actually supposed to be a kitchen clock...shhh don't tell! I like it for timing showers and sometimes for brushing teeth, or for knowing what time it is when I'm getting ready for bed (we don't really have a clock in the living room, except the TV). I honestly put it in there because there was nowhere else in the house where the color/style fit well, but I've found myself looking at it more frequently than I expected to!
ReplyDeleteGood idea about the teeth, wish I'd thought of of that whilst my critters were still bunnies :).
ReplyDeletei like u do u ..pls give f ......... on my di.......
