Who, who.

Yesterday I posted about this very cool owl lamp from West Elm (price $99.00) here.

I posed the idea of taking this owl I found at Goodwill for $3.99...



...which I sprayed white then wondered if I could make it in to a lamp.

One of my readers, Ashley, emailed me this fantastic Etsy find (price $45.00). Couldn't believe it...same exact owl as mine. Just needs a coat of white paint.

Great find Ashley!

West Elm Love.

Monday morning and back to the grind. My hubby was home for the past two weeks depleting his "use it or loose it" vacation time and now he's back to work. I had a honey-do list a mile long and the only things we crossed off were cleaning the ceiling fans and cleaning under the washer and dryer. He also attempted a third try at refinishing our dining table after some polyurethane blips and has about called it quits. I'm going to have to come up with some "special favors" to keep him at it.

On a different note, my new West Elm catalogue arrived in the mail and I was pleasantly surprised. Here are few things on my wish list:

Wondering if I can turn my DIY owl in to a lamp similar to West Elm's version?

I'm thinking a couple of these lamp/sconces would be perfect above my boys headboards.

I'm a sucker for lacquered anything. These yellow ones would go perfect in my den.

Loving these striped hand towels. Speaking of stripes...

Did someone take my entryway and turn it in to a duvet?

Resolutions.

For the first time since I was 23 my New Year’s Resolutions don’t include a new diet program. In fact, today I plan on eating greasy Mexican food, ice cream and whatever else doesn’t aggravate my pregnancy induced heart burn.

Yes, I've gained weight.

QUITE A BIT OF WEIGHT.

The kind of weight the makes your jaw line disappear and your ankles turn in to cankles.

Oh well. Pregnancy is the one time when it's perfectly acceptable to gain lots of weight so pass me another slice of pie please. My belly is so big I can no longer reach my toes. Luckily this wonderful man has become my pedicurist.

We both agree it's quite possibly the worst paint job ever but beggers can’t be choosers and I'm nothing but grateful.

My dad emailed and asked me what's the best possible script I could write for myself in 2011.

It's a worthy and wise question. Definitely one worth putting a pen to paper to as I ponder it today.

What about your script for 2011?
