Nauseous and Inspired, I am

Being sick sucks. I’ve been sick for over a week now, and even though I feel a tiny bit better, I still feel awful. I haven’t really been able to do much of anything…eating included…and I love to eat.

This morning I woke up in my not so pretty bedroom, and managed to muster up enough strength to do a bit of surfing…online of course.

One of my first stops when looking for decorative inspiration is usually Decor Pad. They have such pretty pictures...

I have to say though, aside from a bit of nausea, I feel incredibly inspired. These are some of my favorite finds of the day:

I have a ton of ideas for things to build, ways to arrange things, and thoughts on color palettes. Maybe I’ll be able to pull together a mood board this week and feel good enough by the weekend to get some things done.

Pray for me.

Talk to you in the next one!

Summer, Summer Go AWAY!

I love the fall. After winter, it is my favorite season…summer…blah! I am happy to see it go.

The clouds are so pretty, the leaves are already beginning to change here, and it all makes the landscapes so beautiful.

Even the colors in my backyard are beautiful.

So I played with the settings on my little camera to enhance to landscapes, and exaggerate the colors.

You can really see the colors in the mountains.

I’m off to go pull out my boots!

Happy fall everyone!!

Getting My Nail Polish off Of the Floor

I love nail polish. I paint my nails al least twice a week…

And although my current collection is creeping up on the 150 bottle mark, no two colors are identical.

The issue that I’m having right now is that I have no proper way of storing them.

Right now they sit atop two boxes that I have yet to throw out. One the bright side, I can see everything, and can find what I’m looking for pretty quickly.  It’s better than my current makeup solution as far as functionality goes. But it’s ugly…

I’ve seen the type of nail polish racks that look like they belong in a salon, or in a store, but for use in my home, I don’t like the look.

Then there are the ones that you mount on the walls, and even though they take up a lot less space, I don’t like the look of these either, or want my nail polish hanging on the wall.  I would need 2 of them, and the only place that I’d be willing to hang them is in my closet.

Then finally, there are the table top displays. I dislike these least of all, and at around $35 dollars for one that holds about 70 bottles, this is probably the one that I would choose. Well, if I decide not to build my own. I have a bunch of scrap wood, and some left over paint. Hmm…maybe I’ll go do that now.

Oh, by the way, today I am wearing Safari Beige by Christian Dior.

It’s a very pretty safe for work type of color. I’m sure the color isn’t all that unique, but I don’t have anything else like it.

I’m off to go draw plans for a nail polish rack, so I will talk to you in the next one!

Hasta luego!
