beautiful things

my husband calls my family Nomadic.  I guess compared to his family we are.  His parents still live in the same town, street, house he grew up in; 30 some odd years in the very same house.  My family hasn't lived in the same house for more than maybe 5 years at the most.  So, in all of our movings I am a pretty good packer, my husband not so much.  He holds on to everything; a luxury of never having to move all that stuff from one place to another.  I periodically purge.  
Recently I went through my many boxes of magazines.  I held on to a few: Real Simple, Living, Blueprint, Fresh Home and Ready Made.
I whittled the many magazines down to one wine box. The rest I tore out pages of things I enjoyed and want to get; that ended up being 4 'books'. 

ONE BOX                                                                   4 'BOOKS'
Here is just a sampling of some of my wants that make up my own "magazine books"

i want this frog doorbell cover & this cheese plate & slicer 


i love the colors in this lamp

mirror mirror on the wall....

i luv these lamps~ especially the simplicity of the bulb on the cord
the faux deer head, the pale blue I would have this whole look in my place!
this is just too sweet
i am infatuated with the reusing of the legos!
if i were a fish, i would totally live here! 

these are a few of my favorite things!

under the same moon & stars,

  1. that frog and the mirror are basically awesomeness in its physical form!

    i think my husband and i are in the same situation as you guys. he moved once when he was young, and it was only about two miles down the road. we moved all the time until i was about 16, so i learned how to shed some crap. when my husband and i moved into this house three years ago, i swear 70% of the stuff was his, and there was so much that he still hasn't unpackaed a lot of it!

    your comment made me laugh. i don't think you're a stalker at all, it's funny!

    wow, this turned into a long comment.
