to-copy-list

Hey, out there.

Here's a few things I've been wanting to "copy," um, so that I don't have to pay so much "dolla-dolla-bills-ya'll!" (Had to stick a Bridesmaids reference in there.)

felt garland
via the inspired room


wood picture hangers
via potterybarn

(I may use vintage door knobs, wood/ceramic/glass)

linen-covered cork board
via potterybarn

(This could be a fraction of the price if DIY)

patterned slipcover
great if you have pets & also are too timid to commit to patterned furniture


framed text
easily changed for holidays & inexpensive


plate shelving
i'd like to take the shelf & rail look into a wall system


architectural chair railing
used to frame & extend ceiling


playful office organization
paint works wonders, via the inspired room



perfect kitchen

open shelving, farm sink, butcher block, colored cabinets & wainscoting backsplash, via the inspired room

christmas cookies


i will honor christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year long.
charles dickens, the christmas carol


This weekend I made sugar & spritz cookies with my grandma.

She takes cookie making very serious and has orders that must be mailed out on time to all my cousins.  Dozens & dozens cranked out and off to the post office.
We have fun.
Her supply of colored sugars & sprinkles will last generations, so I'm looking forward to more cookies to make... and eat!

I was there for the good company, but managed to enjoy the fruits of our labor as well!
