Spring Break is over. BOO HOO

April 6th, 2009

I’m back from vacation in the magical and mystical city of Laughlin, NV. Thankfully this wizard bus was around to remind me of the infinite charms of this strange strange place.

I did not win big : (

So, no fancy remodels. I was fantasizing about a ridiculous jackpot win that would allow us to afford all sorts of rehabs to happen. No luck though…

Not even at BINGO.

I did come home to a primed house! The boy got his paint on and started the long tedious task of caulking, priming and painting all that cement brick. He is awesome, but not done…

…and also not a huge fan of painting. FU Brick House!

Thrifty

March 31st, 2009

Here are a few more of the choice items I recently picked up on the thrift marathon.

Holler! I love her. SO MUCH.
She’s living in the newly arranged dinning room.

A nifty Lightolier floor lamp purchased at Angel View Thrift in Palm Springs – it totally needs to rewired. I am still craving the all brass Laurel lamp I saw at the Estate Sale Store, but at $150 it was priced out of reach.

My first Lagardo Tackett cookie jar!

Not thrifted though. I paid top dollar at a vintage store since I am like retarded in love with all his work. I saw it weeks ago and couldn’t get it out of my mind – so I splurged.

My new entry wall with my new shelving unit. I still want to install an Eames hang-it-all near the front door to finish it off, so if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of – holler at me!
