Yes to Yellow

A certain someone is asleep, so this is gonna be quick. 

I can't seem to get enough of YELLOW these days...is it just me or is it everywhere? I do tend to go through color crazes and this is the one for the moment...

Best Item on Craigslist

Someone needs to get these now...

Antique French Louis XV Headboards, $300/pair

AMAZING price...I love the burled wood, intricate detailing and history behind them! Do you all agree?

Oh, if I only had space for twin bedframes...

Do you like the look of twin beds or does the thought of having 2 kids in one room bother you? I remember when my sister on occasion would sleep in my room, we'd always get in trouble for talking all night long.

Have a great weekend!

Come Pin With Me

Writing posts are just not as easy as they once were for me. My lack of sleep, laundry piling up, cleaning to do and trying to organize my slightly overrun with chairs home, while having a 5 month old who loves to be held, doesn't allow for the best posts in the world. So Pinterest is my newest creative outlet. For those that haven't joined, you must and for those that have please follow me as I've recently created a DC Craigslist board...

Maybe I'll create more Craigslist boards from different cities...we'll see. 

As for now I'm just pinning when I have the time. Below is an image I added to my Kitchen board, which was repinned 284 times...I still don't know how that happens.

So dreamy isn't it?

So come join me on Pinterest, I love to receive e-mails informing me that others 'like' or have 're-pinned' the images I find. Happy Pinning!

To all my local friends...Already Covered Interiors and Upholstery is one of the best and most affordable upholsterers in the DC Metropolitan area. They do it all from custom headboards and valances to furniture upholstery. Cris, the owner, is a joy to work with and his employees are just as kind and amazing at what they do. 

Here's one of the guys working on my chairs...

Here is a before image of the English rollarm chairs I purchased on Craigslist 6 years ago...

I never liked the upholstery, but the bones were great!

And this is what they look like now after Cris and his team did their magic 2 years ago...

And they still like great today after 2 years of use and abuse by us and our pets...

You know you need about 5 yards of fabric...
