Decorating for Disaaster

With the Oklahoma Earthquake shaking up the midwest this past weekend, I thought of various "Earthquake Preparedness Techniques" to pass along. And since the Oklahoma Earthquake is still shaking up things, even in the past hour, here are some helpful hints.

Simple Built In Bookcases

I have been wanting some stunning  economical bookcases in several of my rooms. Puddling through storage tubs is getting old, and I am guessing that since we have been here for 5 years, most likely we will stay put. My mentor over at Sawdustandpaperscraps made some gorgeous built-in bookcases which I have always admired.

Easy Glam Pin

I fell in love with this lovely pin from Newport News, and decided to come up with a similar look within my budget.

Here are the directions to making this simple little glam pin:

Beachy Towel Hooks

When I moved into my newly purchased trailer, it came with no towel bars or hooks. It is a double wide, and therefore came with a master suite complete with spa tub. Although I would have rather had more storage or vanity space, alas, they would not remove the spa tub.

White Office Chair Magic

I have always loved the style of office chair I once saw in the movie "Holiday" which was in Cameron Diaz's home office. It is a white leather elegant chair that fit nicely with her office decor. The simple lines of this Zuo Lider No Arm White Office Chair with chrome accents defines the design of a modern yet comfortable office. This chair is very similar and would work perfectly in my new office.

But alas, I have put that on my wish list, but until I can get it, I decided to "make do".

Mastering the Art of ReDecorating

If you are like me, you love the challenge of changing up your environment from time to time. If we had the fortune to have a fortune, this would be a simple task. However, I am sure you, like me, have limited resources, and the thought of purchasing a new sofa at the tune of $5,000 sends shivers up your spine.
