DIY: FOLDING CHAIR MAKEOVER







if you're family is anything like mine, the folding chairs make their appearance at each family function you host (or attend). birthday parties, thanksgiving, christmas... etc. and let's face it, they're practical - and ugly. i love this diy by erin of design for mankind where she spruces up her folding chairs into something i'd actually want in my home! to see the full diy go here.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS


had to get stitches yesterday at the doctor's office and spent the rest of the day hanging out with my little sister. we got coffee's and watched robin hood... :) i have to say, as much as i don't want to idolize anyone in hollywood, i just admire cate blanchett so much. this is a beautiful image of her. (anyone know the source? i searched and couldn't find one so far)
