THE BRIGHT SPOT

Deck the Hall with Boughs of Jolly

12.03.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

My favorite way of 'decking the hall':  filling up our console table with Christmas ornaments. I chose to "grow" my Christmas ornaments collection by adding new pieces each year, instead of buying everything new to match a chosen theme or color palette.   Red, green and gold have always been our Christmas colors.  A bit traditional, yes, but nothing look so festive than ...

IKEA Frosta Stools

10.01.2013 by Leah // 6 Comments

I have a long-standing crush on this IKEA Frosta Stool. I originally wanted these for our dining chairs.

Our wall clock finally broke down today.   It was giving us a time that is 2 hours late.   It was an old clock which AJ brought in from his parent's home because it was just being kept there, unused.   We were happy then because we don't have to buy one, but now we're excited to buy one hehe.  Time is gold, you know, so you can't afford to be running 2 hours late in everything ...
