Sunday At The Laundromat
Posted on | June 29, 2008 | Comments Off
One of things I can’t wait to have in my new house is a washer and dryer. I will never again have to waste a beautiful day doing laundry. I took a couple shots this morning to remember my local laundromat in Darien, Connecticut. I have to admit I will kinda miss the giant orange industrial washers.

One of my favorite place to go for inspiration are ribbon stores. Daytona Trimming has a great selection and often prices are cheaper then M&J’s superstore around the corner. Aisles are full of floor to ceiling spools of ribbon. I love all the color and pattern. Resisting the temptation to buy out the whole store can be trying. Decorative ribbon can be used for all kinds of different craft projects. I love it as a border on curtains, sewn onto white sheets, glued onto a lampshade, or sewn onto the bottom of a bedskirt. The possibilities are endless. Prices range from about $.99-$12.99 a yard. See more images I took by checking out my flickr photostream here.

Waterworks Bathroom Inspiration
Posted on | June 27, 2008 | Comments Off
The closing is thankfully going smoothly. Looks like we will have the house by July 11. I am so excited. I can’t wait to get started on all my fun projects.
I headed over to Waterworks showroom in Greenwich today to help me get a little bathroom inspiration. Waterworks is great store to check out if your going for a traditional looking bathroom. I totally fell for these open washstands and the 2″ hexagon shape tiles. The hexagon shape is so classic but the larger shape tile in an unexpected twist. I think I might pair it with a subway tile on the walls or covering the inside of bathroom stall. I can’t remember the name of the tile shown in the hex shape but I told is was pretty pricey. They suggested using carrera marble which is a cooler looking stone and a more reasonable price point. Check out more: waterworks.com.
