I think it’s safe to say that I’m glad this week is over. It’s flown by and I haven’t really had a chance to sit down! I kind of love it when that happens. A lot has happened this week and I’m extremely grateful. The Proper Pinwheel had a few features around the web –  how I party at Daily Candy (eek!) and how I travel at Marry Me & Fly Free. I also won a fancy shmancy burger kit from Sweet Paul! I don’t know how it happened, but life is good right now. 🙂 We’re heading up to the mountains this weekend. We need to spend as much time as we can channeling Tom & Huck before the summer runs out.

The project above is by the lovely Natalie Shriver for DesignLoveFest. It’s amazing what you can do with painter’s tape. These painted shelves are at the top of my “to-do” list. I’m hoping to be able to tackle that list sometime in 2014… To see how to make your own shelves, and watch a sweet video of the styling how-to, click here. Do we just think that the DesignLoveFest ladies are the cutest? Yes, we do.
