A Peek Into The Wardrobe

Living in an old home is so important to me.

It's like holding a little piece of history, and the craftsmanship and detail can't be matched to anything built in the last 50 years. The only thing that builders could have done is have a little more foresight and realized that historically, women like clothes. A lot.

So they should have beefed up the closet space. 

The house we live in is tiny (that's being generous) and the closets are no exception. For starters, we have two closets in the entire house. One in each bedroom. No space for towels, sheets, cleaning stuff, nothin. 

Now, I'm not complaining. I'm merely setting the story.

Back to the tiny house. I am kind of known for having stupidly large closets. Even in college, I picked my dorm on the sole basis of closet space. So when I moved in here, friends commented on my inability to squeeze it all in, much less share with someone else. Ha.

So out of the kindness of his heart (and after much artful whining on my part), my dear sweet husband gave me one whole closet to work with. After filling it with about a third of what I own, I realized that I was going to have to get crafty.

I hopped on Craigslist and found a beautiful dresser from the 50's and a wardrobe from the 30's and finally felt settled.

Mirror, mirror...

Holy prints Batman.

These make such cute impressions in the dirt!

Be Still My Heart

I usually don't watch commercials. I am a DVR addict, have a quick fast forward/trigger thumb and I know how to use it. For some reason, fate intervened and I caught this commercial today while I was cleaning house.

 And naturally, I was cleaning in wedges and full hair and makeup... ha.

This commercial stopped me mid sweep. I stood about a foot away from the TV and was transfixed for the entirety of the ad. At first I just thought, 'Ooh, cute wallpaper.' The good stuff really happens at the 12 second mark.

I am not a fan of Special K, nor do I have the discipline to replace meals with bowls of bland cereal, but I would eat this until December to have this closet. 

Before clicking play, sit down. You'll thank me later.
