Loving It....Rob Ryan's Paper Cuts and Prints

Top: "Blue Heart Bell," Middle: "House" Bottom: "The Stars"

I am in love with Rob Ryan's artwork. I just think the details are amazing, especially in "The Stars," which is my favorite.

He has an Etsy store, where he sells some of his work. If anyone feels like giving me a very nice present, now you know where to go.... Definitely check him out!

DIY: Reusable Swiffer Supplies

I came across this on Cribcandy, a fabulously creative website. Basically, you just craft your own Swiffer pads or dusters using fleece. Another idea is to use microfiber. Both allow you to toss used materials in the washer instead of throwing them out. This idea is simple but so ingenious. I think I'm gonna have to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes.

Loving It... Art for Urban Spaces Pillows

In my moving plans, I've started obsessively searching the web for inspiration. Here are a couple of gorgeous pillows (approx $62 US) from Art for Urban Spaces. I think it would be pretty easy to make something similar.

The Big Move

I'm finishing up law school, and that means it's time to move! I'm leaving my humble dorm room, and moving back out to the real world. Very exciting, but it's also daunting because I have to furnish an entire apartment by myself.

In the interest of saving money and thinking environmentally, I'm planning on getting as much stuff as I can either used or at least handmade. However, I made a couple of big purchases: a sofa bed and a mattress/box springs set.

Here is the sofa bed, courtesy of The Futon Shop:



I'll be posting items that inspire me as I look for ideas to match my lovely new sofa.
