Sometimes Martha knows what shes doin'.

I stumbled across this design idea on, yes again, design sponge several months back, copied it and am now so proud with the end result I decided to share! I was flipping through posts and found this on a before and after pallet daybed post:

Rather than the daybed I was drawn to the paper lantern and pom pom collage she created hanging from the ceiling. The pom poms were from the Martha Stewart line at Walmart (which I refuse to step foot in again, I'm a Target gal) and the paper lanterns can be found online for super cheap. I got mine here and just went for a variety of sizes in the color scheme I was aiming for. The pom poms, unfortunately, are sold out but I found some look alikes here that are roughly the same or if you're super nifty here are martha's instructions on how to make your own.

I just hung them up to create a cluster-like effect using picture frame hooks and fishing wire. And voila a nice burst of color that looks artsy and fun!

Current Obsession As already noted every few months I pick a new item to obsess over and this month I have taken it upon myself to find the perfect candle. Odd, you may say, but I disagree. A candle can add so much to a room; odor, ambience, etc. I have surpassed my aversion to candles (i usually associated them with incense and pot) and fully embraced them as a decorating tool. And when living in an old creaky building with drafty windows adding warmth and pleasant scents can turn into a must. And the nice thing about candles is that they...

Things That Make me Happy Since I am having what have to be the two most hellish days at work ever (my own fault too) I decided to gather things that simply make me smile and lift my mood, which is pretty low at the moment. I'm not usually the biggest of cat fans but you can't beat a cat montage. I had a roomate in college who would watch hours of these with me. Failblog.org Because someone else is always having a way worse day than I am. This ones just because. I can't remember where I got the picture its been on my...
