OK. So have you ever had a large coke with caffeine and then got a headache and took headache medicine that has ...you guess it...caffeine? Well it makes for a late night of little sleep and lots of time to ....I don't know...solve life's great mysteries...like what to do with the magazines all over the house?
Steve always complains he never sees the magazines because they come in the mail and I put them in a pile (in the magazine basket) but he never checks there because? it just looks like a pile...
Also at the same time...this year I wanted to do this really cool front porch decor...well we got hanging plants and an old cool planter thingy. I wanted to plant flowers in the planter...but funds being what they are...and the fact I am stressed I will kill the hanging plants...we didn't plant anything. So I was sick of looking at the planter on the porch...looking pathetic like it has been ignored and wouldn't fullfill it's true destiny.
Then in a caffeine induced insomnia haze...it came to me...
I am sure Steve will LOVE it. :) OK maybe not...but he has put up with me this long... then I just remind him...I just saved him money on a fancy magazine rack...that usually does the trick. Plus it goes with my decorating theme....cottage/country/stuff for free...look.
Have you ever used something in an unusual way that solved a problem???
I've been trying to find a way to clean up all of our 'gaming' clutter for the wii.. We bought a shelving unit at IKEA, but didn't have enough $$ for cute bins that I was hoping for. So.. I found a dark wicker basket that I use for fruit/bread..etc.. and ta da! Just threw all the accessories in it, and it looks pretty nice. :)
