Almost Completed Picture Wall

Look what JECIV did! He nearly finished a picture wall; isn't he very spatially aware? We are both very taken with it. One piece still needs a frame, but you get the idea. I love how it's indicative of both our tastes. Kurt Cobain and a vintage Vogue. Velvet Underground and Kerouac. The last piece will get framed/hung today. Now it's time to housewarm.

DIY Butcher Block

This post on making your own butcher block type kitchen cart is amazing! I'm dying over here. JECIV just emailed it to me, which is a subtle hint that he wants to replace mine, and I love him for it. We've been little DIYers lately (more on that later) and this might just be next on the epic To Do list. The To Do list has three subcategories. It's not sane.

Anyway, this is an amazing project and tutorial from curbly and I fully support it. I especially love the rack on the side with S hooks for kitchen utensils. Very clever indeed.

Zhush (via Some Pink Salt)

I'm about to move in with JECIV and I can't stop browsing online shops for decor. Big items can seem really overwhelming sometimes, but little touches make a space special and I am in love with these Mint Julep cups from Zhush. They're so chic. I need them right meow.
