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'm so in love with them I may sleep with them under my pillow. It's the combination of sleek shape, beautiful pastels, and the horsefly (or bee--Laguiole tradition holds it could be either).
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:
My suitcase looks like this:
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 the lamp. I am so fond of lamps like that.
Also love the knifes. With me it's different types of spoons - soup spoons, those long-handled tea spoons.
Love, love love those cat beds!
You have terrific taste! Love the lamp; really love the knives --- they are things of beauty. And I think the cat beds are terrific. DIY is fun and makes things that are unique and special, which is more fun than buying generic. You, my dear, are not a generic sort of person.
Have fun with your projects!
Upstairs/downstairs kitteh comfort ... perfect!
I am always so impressed and jealous when people can do crafty, DIY projects. They look great. and I love those knives.
Love it all! Especially those knives and your suitcase cat bed. Fabulous!
Glad you're all feeling the knife and kitty-bed love!
Can you still get them at your home sense store I want these so bad and can't find them anywhere I live in America
I don't know! But amazon sells them, though not sure if in the colors you want. :-)
