And now, for the Weekend Update.

What would a rainy day weekend be without some kind of fun home improvement project?
Well, it just wouldn't be normal without one around my place. Here's what I was up to this weekend.

I painted the old armoire a fresh coat of shiny white. I stacked some colorful blankets
up there next to Rico, too. Winter's coming, he's gonna get chilly up there all by himself.

I gave the hallway a bit of a blush - I've been mixing this pinky-coral color for a
week or so. When I brought it home it was a naseating shade of Pepto-Bismol pink
so I added some of my own acrylic paints from their tubes (heaven forbid!) to the can
of pepto-paint until I came up with a shade I liked. I also gave this old bench a coat of
high gloss white - it's the bench I got at the Bernal Heights Community Yard Sale for $10.

I gave my newly acquired vintage pear canister and carved wooden reindeer from the
wonderful Three Potato Four shop (above) a new home on the sacred Saarinen end table.
You know these two finds are special to me when they take up residence on the Saarinen!


Laslty, I framed this cool poster I got from The Poster List. I had to have it, as not only
was it very retro 70's L.A., but it reminded me of my old high school stomping
grounds near Dogtown at the Santa Monica Pier. Ahhh, those darn cute Z Boys.
