I got this lamp from Target:
And I did the unthinkable--I bought something new that I already had second hand! Months ago I bought a pack of never opened brightly colored steak knives; but today I was at Home Sense and saw these...

I also tried to find a pretty dish drainer, and cutting board, but nothing did it for me. I finally tried googling DIY solutions and found this!
What a great idea! I'm going to explore it. I have a big space over my sink.
I've also been collecting the pieces necessary to make one of these:

So as you see, it's all about decor and DIY and shopping. Nothing too exciting. Well, not to anyone else, at all rates. Exciting for me.

Love, love love those cat beds!

ReplyDeleteHave fun with your projects!
Upstairs/downstairs kitteh comfort ... perfect!
