Bird house.

When I got back to Nova Scotia this summer I got to the beach as often as I could. On one trip to Martinique Beach with Brent I found some pretty birdhouses for sale on the East Petpeswick Road.
Cost? Honour system of leaving $5 in a bin. Sold!

Martinique Beach

New home for the bird house :)

Lovely lady lamps.

I found these 2 lamps ages ago at my favourite antique store in Halifax, Urban Cottage. (1819 Granville St). I loved them so much, each has 3 lovely Grecian ladies. I gave them a complete face lift; white gloss paint, new wiring, new harps, and new shades.

Here's the change of one of them :)

Living room.

So my place is slowing, but surely coming together.
I spend a lot of time in my living room, and it's getting very comfortable!
I'm leaving one area unphotographed because I want to wait until my TV is mounted on the wall and my vintage lamps are rewired!! Couldn't wait to show you the rest though. I'm also having camera issues, so you get iphone pics....

This is my front enterance:

This is currently what my kitchen looks like, should have a mircowave by the end of the day!!

Painted Ceilings.

About time for a new post!!
I'll try to keep my promise to share more with you.

I'm totally into the idea of a painted ceiling right now. Maybe this could brighten up my blah kitchen?

This is so neat!

But who am I kidding, I still have to paint my bathroom and hang wallpaper in my bedroom! (and one million other things...)

Trekky Pillow.

I want this star trek pillow, except it should match my living room... and maybe a matching one that says Live Long & Prosper. Thanks in advance universe.

Bitch Plates.

This would be in response to miss Kate's blog post: http://wp.me/pLshp-eE

Kate, I would have picked some of these up for you to eat bitchy bundt cakes and cupcakes(etc) off of, except, I'm selfish and poor and could only get my hands on 4 of them. lol, you'll have to make due with the mental image of me eating bitchy bundt cakes and cupcakes off of them.

I told my Mom about these plates. Mom says: Can I borrow them?

haha

Good old Urban Outfitters!

BYOW.

Bring your own wine.... it's something I always thought of as expensive and pretentious but luckily I stumbled onto a useful site today:
http://www.bringmywine.ca/

Lets you know the corkage fees for 100's of restaurants in Toronto, as well as across Canada (Even lots in Halifax!)

Check em out, there are tons that are only $10 fees (some for free too in T.O!) Makes it easy to enjoy a nice wine with dinner without breaking the bank!

Who's down for bringing some wine to Jane's On The Common?? yes pleaseeeee!
