CRAIGSLIST MONDAY: CHINESE ART DECO RUGS

I am currently obsessed with art deco rugs.

Nanette Lepore's dressing room via

Candida Fisher's Apartment

These rugs usually cost an arm and a leg so I am always searching CL for them.

Here's one that I've been eyeing for a few weeks now...

(love the colors and it is 10x14)

and some others that are pretty reasonably priced...

What do you think of Art Deco rugs?  Are you a fan?

PROJECT SIDE YARD: UPDATE

 Our side yard is coming along.  

The concrete was poured last week and we put our little stamp on it...the kids' fingerprints!

I also finished painting the faux bamboo patio set...

I found the perfect red-orange spray paint!  It is Krylon Fusion in Sun Dried Tomato.

Now I just have to figure out the cushion fabric and DIY a firepit.  The shed is going to be installed on Tuesday!

(I see a white cloth over that fireplace wall for movie nights!)

Have a great weekend!

MY FAVE THRIFTED ITEM OVER AT LOVE ON SUNDAY

Today, I'm over at Love on Sunday sharing my favorite thrifted item.

 Stop by and say hi and check out Amy's blog while you're over there!

Happy Thursday!

LITTLE FREE LIBRARY

Have you heard of Little Free Library?  I just discovered it(through my cousin) a few days ago and the idea is so cool I knew I had to share it with you guys.

The concept is pretty simple.  You construct (or buy) a box out of wood or other materials, attach it to a post and fill it with books which people may take, return or donate.

This movement was started by a Wisconsin resident, Todd Bol, 4 years ago as a tribute to his mom, a teacher and bibliophile.  These boxes are now a global sensation...

Pretty cool, right!  

You can learn more about Little Free Library, here.

(They even have a DIY plans and tips to get you started)

Do you have one in your neighborhood?
