I’m a little bit like Rory from Gilmore Girls. I have books under the bed, in extra drawers, & even on my bookshelf. So I saw this cute shelf at family dollar for $15. I was worried that it would say assembly required. I’m not so good at assembly.
Instead the box said “flip shelves.” These are now the most beautiful words in the English language. The shelves literally just flipped down. It will be so easy to take with me when I move. I said “Ohh I thought there was a third shelf”, then I just flipped the last shelf down. Now I just need to accessorize. I built a bookshelf I’m so handy.

I was looking at art.com today & there was a poster like this on the front page:
I loved it & was sure that it had been painted recently. Imagine my surprise when I saw the artist’s name. Can you guess who it is? Well, you probably can because of the post title. In addition to soup cans & movie stars Andy Warhol did some amazing work with flowers.

It used to be that when there was nothing on I turned to HGTV & got some decorating tips. Now whenever I turn on HGTV it’s just another house show about people trying to sell their homes & taking big losses. This used to be fun to watch, people making lots of cash. Now, it’s depressing. First time home buyers can’t buy houses, sellers can’t sell their houses. I don’t know if they were effected by the writer’s strike or they just decided to make the same show 20,000 times. I miss HGTV.
I know that some people decorate for every single holiday. However, I’m just lucky that the Christmas decorations have been taken down by now. I love to decorate for holidays but by the time I get all of the decorations up & think about having to take them down again, it isn’t fun anymore. Plus, I think it makes the house feel cluttered. I could always just change my blog template, that’s easy decorating. This year I’m just up to putting a picture of a heart in a blog post about how I’m too tired to decorate. Sometimes, less is more.
