running spoon: That Girl
http://runningspoon.blogspot.com/2009/09/that-girl.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. A roll of wrapping paper from Hobby Lobby offered just the right thing for my project. I simply used double sided tape to line the backs of my shelves to give the kitchen some of the "That Girl" charm I craved. Check out my "after photos". In closing.what could be better than a bit of houndstooth with a bicycle? More "before/after" photos of the rest of the new house soon.). September 05, 2009 10:57 PM. September 15, 2009 10:37 PM. Can I just move in with you?

September 30, 2009. Zen and The Importance of Living. When I stopped to think about it, I realized that Zen, a western way of thinking, has been very influential in my recent life and all these things I am attracted to, whether it be yoga, sushi or just serenity, come directly from these ideas. I recently read two books that helped clarify my thoughts and I would highly recommend them. The Way of Zen. Even more influential though was The Importance of Living.

November 30, 2009. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this year and was able to spend time with friends and family. It is so great that we have an entire day dedicated to giving thanks for everything we have. It is easy to focus on the negative and forget about the positive but thanksgiving really helps to emphasize the positive and remind us of how amazing life really is! I was especially reminded one of life's greatest simple pleasures. cooking! Posted by Vanessa Hansford at 9:05 AM. I have been ...

August 31, 2009. I'm a novice when it comes to sushi, seeing that I just started eating it about a year ago, but I've loved it ever since. My boyfriend and I just moved 5 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and one of the first tasks on his list was to buy sushi grade fish in bulk from the warehouses downtown and make his own sushi. Neither of us have ever tried to make our own sushi before but it turned out to be pretty uncomplicated, to my surprise. Posted by Vanessa Hansford at 10:24 AM. August 28, 2009.

July 30, 2009. Next best to vintage shopping is boutique shopping. While usually way over priced, small boutiques are one of my favorite sources of inspiration. I love that they support and promote local artists and crafters and you can almost always find unique gifts and ideas. These iron cast wall hooks would look great in a long entry way, too bad I have to wait on that one. Maybe my next house. Posted by Vanessa Hansford at 11:49 AM. July 29, 2009. Orange or Grapefruit Juice. Seasonal Jams and Marmal...

running spoon: My Jewel Box
http://runningspoon.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-like-color.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. I like color. Lots and lots of color. I am also allergic to matching suites of furniture, decor. Lacking in dents, dings, scratches and stains and anything purchased at full retail price. My design style has always been, "A room can always be improved with a can of paint acquired from the mistake-cart at your local hardware store." As proof, see these photos taken from my last house:. I must say that the new place is darling! Looking into the dining room:. I need you to come he...
