And just to clarify...90% of my clothes are second hand, so I too believe in being frugal and environmentally conscious. I don't think being stylish all the time means you aren't green...we can be green and glamourous too. Use those nice clothes, because otherwise what the point. Take your tattered and torn clothes and make rugs, use them as cleaning cloths or stuff them into pillow cases.


How Hot Do You Look At Home?

I find this topic fascinating as I'm a mother of 2 boys and I observe all the other mothers out there...what they wear day to day. And I'm so so sick of workout wear...half of the moms don't even work out, but I guess running on errands and chores are a work out. I think when we as a society dress in such a dressed down way, we end up style less...like we don't care at all. My son is 8 months old and I try to put makeup on every day, get dressed in casual chic ensembles and fix my hair. It's so important to me, but of course the days I don't have a second to put mascara on or wash my face are the days I run into everyone. In fact my friend hosted a surprise baby shower for me knowing I'll come picante...okay maybe not picante, but nice. And they all said..."we knew you'd come looking put together." I'll wear nice clothes knowing they'll be destroyed by the end of the day...I'm usually covered in baby food, but that's okay because I made an effort and felt good about myself. I don't want to sound judgmental...it's not about weight or looking hot, it's deeper than that.

Ha...guess what color I painted my desk 2 months ago? Yup...deep reddish orange. It's called persimmon by C2 and I actually goofed b/c I thought it was going to be more red, but hey I'm ahead of the game ;).

Love it! Martha's persimmon is completely different from C2's which is a lot deeper, but I think I may like Martha's better. I recently painted a vintage desk C2's persimmon and it's great, but dark. Your home is lovely and I always appreciate a green home tour...there is so much incredible used/vintage/secondhand furniture out there that is always surprises me when people shop at PB...why???

What a brilliant idea...wish I had thought of that! Although I don't know if I could afford 25 books for my son and then it also takes away from what he could open on Christmas.

Yes please...we need a new trash can terribly bad. Our old one is too small and with a baby on the way I'm afraid our trash is going to increase or at least I won't be able to take it out as often, but no worries we will reuse our old one for sure.

My vintage 1976 bright green Schwin was stolen out of my backyard last year and man I'm still so sad about it. This would be an awesome replacement and I'm sure weigh a lot less...that was the only downside to that bike. Great giveaway and thanks again for all of these awesome giveaways...if I win anything I don't need, then I plan on giving it to the organization I volunteer with called 100 homes for the homeless. I'm helping getting furniture off of Craigslist and preparing them with move-in ready boxs. It feels so wonderful to give, so I'm sure you all feel so happy to be apart of all these giveaways. Thanks! xx Danielle
