Last October, I found secondhand dining chairs for about $10/apiece, and I was in quite a dilemma about how to work them into my pink living/dining room. It only took me all winter and most of the spring to get it sorted out! The chairs sat painted white with those dreadful 90’s country blue seats… Continue Reading
Purple Maryjanes
I’m running out of space for my shoes!!! My whole left cupboard is pretty much filled with shoes and there’s no vacancy in the 18 pocket shoe rack on the back of my bedroom door! Then I’ve got 2 pairs to a box X more than I’d like to count under my bed, 11 pairs… Continue Reading
Thrifted Mirror
I found this tired old mirror in the back corner of my favorite secondhand shop… 35 kr. (about $7), a quick coat of white paint, so the gold still pokes through… and I’m through wondering what to hang behind the daybed :)

I didn’t actually buy anything, but I did see some lovely things… A pink Valantino suit with black polka dots, which was love at first sight, but honestly,… Continue Reading
London Lovelies

New Decorating Dilemma
I generally have a “no paint” policy when it comes to wood. I love the look of painted furniture, but I’ve never had a piece come out really, really amazing. But now I’m faced with a dilemma. I found this fabulous dining table at a secondhand shop for about $150. The top is pretty trashed,… Continue Reading
