hmm, well i don't know about shelves, but i hung a bygel basket (something like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90072648) from the shower curtain hooks and it's made the best shower caddy in a bathtub with no room for anything. (there isn't even an edge to set things on!)
it's been there for over a year without a bit of rust.

yummy.

love it.

going sweater-hunting.

hi everyone...

guinoatesgotbumped is absolutely right, i did label the spice jars for him. he does far more cooking than i do. and i have yet to graduate past good old salt and pepper!

jesikka: the sofa is from macy's. it's called the tyler velvet sofa. that's the loveseat in the shot, the full sofa is facing it on the other side of the coffee table. they are super comfortable for lounging around. and dog hair easily wipes off with either a used dryer sheet or a damp washcloth.

khadija: that white table is from west elm, the bridge side table. they still have it, but with a different print. i'm still contemplating getting the coffee table that goes underneath it and moving it to the living room. i think the smaller scale will work better for us.

hi everyone. your sweet comments are making me blush!

oliviav (and everyone who likes our paint color): it's Ralph Lauren's Tenaya Green from home depot. it's cozy on cloudy days, and actually brightens up quite nicely on sunny days.

kajr: that floor lamp is an antique i inherited from my grandmother. it's solid and heavy, and makes a lovely warm light. and it's got a 300watt bulb and three 60watt bulbs. kind of an energy sucker but the only lamp that can light up our 1930's-no-overhead-lighting living room.

thanks everyone, keep voting! we are so excited to be a part of this contest.

to answer a few questions:

h144 and stegersaurus: the artwork in the bedroom is from etsy - altardbeast.etsy.com (crazy, creepy stuff. i love it.)

lovelydarkanddeep: yes, those are spice racks. we use two kroken spice racks and the rajtan spice jars (both from ikea). and i label the spice jars with a white grease pencil - easy to find what i'm looking for, and then easy to relabel 'cause you can just wipe it off!

btoddster: i was wondering if anyone would catch benny and hazel. the regular colorway hazel is hiding out in the bedroom but i couldn't fit her in the picture!

papier valise is wonderful! i just ordered a bunch of ephemera from them, and it came packaged so nicely. it was an absolute pleasure.

i heart royal oak! i live there too. i think my house is even smaller. i just never thought about entering small/cool. hmm... that just might be a great easter project!

cute house by the way. love the wall colors.

i like to use brass furniture tacks. they're very vintage looking even though they're just from the hardware store.

can i say how much i love, love, love grouping markers and pens by color? it's lovely, and so much easier to find the right shade when they are all cuddled up.
