do the crime, do the time IN FABULOUS SURROUNDINGS!

i'm doing the writing bit in my wee hall way / dressing area. and not in pink. black & white. and all compliments.

this is staged "mess".

the title of SAME STUFF - NEW LOOK is misleading
should be
SAME SHELVES + rug, chair, computer, bulletin board, art, roller blind, organizers, lamp= 90 degree cleaner fancier look

wish they had been bolder.... painted it orange - with gray trim boards - landscaped it with some of that funky tall grass ... i wanted to go HOLY MOLY... instead i went...well, it's better than a poke in the eye.

our bathroom is just as small - this thing holds tons and fits perfectly under our sink. (was featured here)

small budget is a can of paint and a new tablecloth - i'm just saying.

sadly now every time i see a bird anything i hear PUT A BIRD ON IT!

sad cuz i have a lot of bird junk in my house

i would stencil THIS IS NOT A DOOR on it.

my twenty year old self would have opened the door in my nightgown, invited him in, scooped the sugar out with my checkbook and offered him a hug on his way out -

my not twenty year old self who has lived in los angeles now for way too long - has learned that it's better to be safe than sorry. I follow my gut and if anything feels even the tiny bit off - I lie but in a super nice way.
for example:
me: sing songy through closed door "Who is it?"
strange neighbor who doesn't know better than to knock on a strangers door after dark - It's your strange neighbor who doesn't know better to knock on a strangers door after dark - I'd like to borrow a cup of sugar because I think it's 1953.
Me: Oh hahhha - well unfortunately, I'm all ready for bed and not presentable and even MORE unfortunate - we don't use sugar! Isn't that just awful? My husband who is also home is a Tae Kwon Do expert - has to keep his body fat below 1% soooo Soooo sorry!
strange neighbor who really needs to watch his sugar addiction: Oh that's okay! Thanks anyway, I'll just run to 7/11 like I should have done in the first place. (unless he's a psycho killer - then the reply would be the same but you would look out the next day and your door would have a bloody handprint on it)

If you become friends with the person down the road you can always laugh at the time you didn't open the door for them. And of course for Christmas you give them 30lbs of sugar.
