Reuse and Recycle

I got this stool a while ago on craigslist for $10 to use as vanity stool. It had a pretty ugly green vinyl cover on the seat and I finally got around to recovering it! I recycled some fabric that I already had and got out my staple gun, some batting, and went to town. I can't decide if I want to paint the base or not. Any thoughts? I might just wait and see how the rest of our bedroom comes together. I would still like different curtains, wall art, and nightstands that aren't boxes...

Be Mine

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I will be spending the rest of mine with my wonderful husband. Here are a few memories from our wedding day on December 27, 2008. Aruna B. Photography from Ann Arbor, MI did an incredible job on our photos - check out her website and blog!

I love these cutting boards from Yoo Store in England! I think the pig is my favorite.

Real Weddings

In anticipation of wedding season, I thought I'd share the wedding invitation from this past August that I made for my sister Lauren's wedding! You can read about all the creative accents she incorporated into her trendy reception-in-a-barn over at her blog and view photos taken by the talented Ampersand Photography.

I'm so happy this week is winding down..it was a doozy! I'm hoping to get some new work up in the shop over the weekend!

Huzzah!

The new storefront is up and running! Check it out at lovely-post.com! There's a new wedding invitation and some oldies back in the mix. It's still a work in progress (and probably always will be!) so keep checking back for new additions!

In other news.. I didn't have to go to work today because of the Snowpocalypse!
