First off...awesome paint, I love this shade of gray. Second, I think there are missing pics... OF THE CLOSET. I WANT TO SEE MORE CLOSET!!!! Seriously, I want to see a full room shot of your closet, it looks totally awesome from the little glimpse.

My beau got me an 8 bit rose for Valentines and I thought it was the coolest gift ever. Now I want the clutch and the glasses to match.

You would be surprised, how often you can find Le Creuset on sale, either online or at William Sonoma. I bought my 3 pieces (3.5 qt round, 4.5 qt round, 6.5 quart oval dutch oven) for what it would have cost for one full price at WS just because they were no longer carrying that color. Plus I have heard stories that sometimes you can find it at Good Will or Salvation Army. I have not had the pleasure of finding any in my area, but I have still heard stories about it and am always on the look out.

Le Creuset cleans up great even over time. If it starts to get discolored (browning in the bottom and on the sides) there are 2 ways to take care of it: Le Creuset cleaner or make a clear broth soup like chicken soup. Making chicken soup in my 5.5 qt makes it look like new every time. Also, go to Le Creusets website, they are guaranteed...so if they start to show craking or wearing of the enamel under normal use they will replace it.

I got my set of Le Creuset from William Sonoma here on sale a few years ago. They were no longer going to stock the blue. Each piece was between 60-80% off (I bought 3 pieces at the time). Also, I have seen sales on Amazon for closeout pieces from different stores, its worth a look. I really feel that they are worth every penny at full price after having them for this long, but I was so glad I was able to get my set all at once, because of the sale.

I came home for Christmas a few years ago...my sister gave me 2 gifts, one rather extravagant, the other basic/practical and something I had coveted that mother had owned...she gave me an engraved Tiffany's braclet in the little blue box and my very own kwik kut food chopper ($5 food chopper). I loved both, but I cried over getting the kwik kut. I wear the bracelet everyday but that little chopper makes me misty eye every time I use it...and I use it a lot. I LOVE THAT KWIK KUT!

I always thought Mac users were a bit OCD (I am trying to be nice). I am a PC and my work space is a heck of a lot more entertaining and colorful than those work spaces...just sayin.

Oh my! I love the use of space, the color and the design! I want this bar closet in my house!

I just found out recently that my sister is freaked out by a lot of things in my house...as in she is afraid of antiques, especially the vintage kitchen scissors that I recently bought. I thought it was funny, but she explained "you never know what you may drag into your house that way".

I have a fear of spiders that I have been slowly getting over for years. There is a huge spider (probably an orb weaver) I named Steve (though its probably female) that lived outside my shed. I watched it create 3 beautiful webs and kept tabs on it daily. The other day Steve was gone, it made me kinda sad.

Does anyone know where I can get that tray? I just tried googling it and I am having no luck.

I second jenc suggestion. Its great storage...I miss having open storage like that.
