stuff white people like. in print!
What can I say? I’m a fan. [And I'm the whitest girl I know.] This book is for any white person who can laugh at themselves…okay, and any person who likes a good laugh at the expense of white culture. It’s funny because…it’s true. I had read the entire blog to my family and friends and nearly squealed when I found the book on the “Staff Recommended” aisle at Elliott Bay Book Co. this weekend. I don’t normally buy books (other than cookbooks), but I couldn’t pass this one up. You absolutely must take a read.
…and if you can’t rush to your local Barnes and Noble RIGHT AWAY….take a peek at one of my favorite entries…
renovation projects?
I was at Masa last week for happy hour, and since we are in the middle of a tile-remodeling-project, I was eye-ing all of their unique tilework throughout the space. In the ladies’ room, I found an inscrption on the relief tiles. . .
IXIA Tiles of Tacoma. Go visit the website to read up on the process of creating and designing the tiles!
just loving this jewelry…
I discovered Silver Cherry while walking through the market last weekend. These silver pieces are created by a local Seattle designer and are just breathtaking. Each piece is unique and yet all exhibit nature in an inspiring and detailed way.
all things cupcake
I just have to give this blog a link.
How else would one discover a cupcake pan by Williams-Sonoma?
Or find sources for cupcake-themed baby clothing?
On a more local note, check out http://www.cakespy.com . You can purchase her artwork online at etsy !
Cakespy pieces are also available at Hello, Cupcake! in downtown Tacoma off Pacific Ave.
And speaking of Hello, Cupcake….you can view my photography [Mae Photo + Design] at Hello, Cupcake THIS THURSDAY August 21st!
Check out the blog mention on Seattle PI !
locallove: see kai run ON SALE
Local Tacoma children’s boutique, Choye Boutique has See Kai Run shoes on clearance! These shoes are absolutley adorable and retail at around $36/ pair. I scored these for just over $19! If you have a little boy, walk on over to Choye ASAP…she is clearing out her boy’s clothing to make room for women’s clothing lines. I am so excited to send these off as a gift….
and the work begins.
…A few photos that I took during our frantic house search. You know how it is, look at ten houses in a day and take sporadic photos of things in each house. I had to dig through hundreds of other photos to find these…
the living room and fire place. your first view upon entering the front door.
windows, nasty window treatments and wonderful baseboard heating units. [ha.]
view into kitchen and hallway.
gotta love me some 1980s kitchen wallpaper.
yum. so retro. orange blinds and everything. the kitchen cabinets are metal. yes, you did read that right. i said METAL.
completley useless space. it will be a miracle if we can find a way to make this work.
i actually really love the deep sink. it’s the pink tiles that i’m not so excited about. [whoever lived here previously must have been totally lit when they decorated. everything was a different shade of pink.]
i’m not even going to try to redeem this photo. the orange cast gives you a great idea of what the lighting is really like [the bathroom is our very next project.]
this is our bedroom. which is literally a bed – room since we have a california king bed!
the guest room. it’s actually a little bigger than it looks here, i promise.
heading upstairs to the attic (spooky.). this area will eventually become a master bedroom suite with bathroom and a freaking huge closet [because we will "deserve" one].
our future bedroom. [pre-renovation!]
this is our basement. which is where we believed the “magic happened.”
