Cy Twombly Weekend/ Melty Rainy Days

As promised, I finally got a new camera, a Nikon D60. Hooray!

That kind of thing will do me no good when taking inconspicuous pictures in the Cy Twombly Gallery of the Menil Collection in Houston last weekend. Thanks iPhone. BF and I hit up three different museums because the weather was so crummy and we were dying to do something.

P.S. the gift shop at the Contemporary Arts Museum is incredible.

All photos taken be me except for the one with CT in it. NY Times.

Yellow Before, Purple After

I've had this yellow buffet for awhile, and I had been wanting to paint it for sometime. I was inspired by these pretty little purple flowers to paint it purple. It was definitely an impulse thing, but 'm happy I did it. I went to Anthropologie and found these gaudy drawer pulls on sale! Thank goodness because I had to buy eight of them.



I love how it turned out.. . it's not forever, but it's fun for now.

Putting Names with Faces

The dressing room walls at Barney's Co-op in the Houston Galleria are adorably unique. Hand-painted, vintage silhouettes with different captions penciled-in are a fun read while trying on summer pieces that you wish you could afford.

A few examples:
Ryan won't play a single instrument.
Vicki has no dreams.
Dottie married her cousin.
Dorothy is always down.
Charlotte hates her nose.

Faux Headboard

Saw this at Apartment Therapy today. It might be the solution I'm looking for in respect to a headboard. I thought about making an upholstered headboard, but I know that when I move in a year I'll really want to change things up. And I'm lazy.
