The Saturday 6

February 23, 2013

 TheSaturday6

 

#1 

 

Sue at Home offers step-by-step directions for how to dye your slipcovers.  (I especially like the hot pink with her navy walls.)  This is a great idea if you have dingy slipcovers that just won’t recover from years of Cheeto-fingers.

Apartment Therapy gives you five reasons you should hang on to your old candles.  Did you know they prevent tears while chopping onions?  I have to try this.  I am the most emotional onion chopper.

Last Saturday afternoon, we finally got our first snow at the new house.  It was just as beautiful as I thought it would be.  (And was completely melted by Sunday afternoon.)

I just found out this week that I’ll be attending the Haven Conference in Atlanta this August.  I’ll be part of a panel on design and can’t wait to meet the other bloggers who will be there.  Are any of you going?

renovation

I posted this picture on Instagram yesterday.  Our renovation is coming along quickly.  Here’s a shot of the new den windows that replaced the garage door.  So excited about all of the natural light in this room.

And, this weekend, we’ll be celebrating the fourth birthday of the funniest girl I think I’ve ever known.  When I say there has never been one like her, I know I speak the truth.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend,

    Do you have to be a blogger to be in the audience at Haven?

      Hi Sandy, This will be my first year but I don’t think so. Although I think it’s sold out for now. There is a waiting list, though…

    Can’t wait to meet you at Haven (which is sold out, btw). Last year I missed out, but not this year!

    Love the pic of Funny Girl — though I panicked at first until I realized it was a dolly face down in the background and not one of the twins.

    Such a smart idea to dye the slip cover, so happy to have step-by-steps, dying can be so intimidating. Love all of these great ideas! Hoping your household is recovered!

    It’s not true about the candle and onions. I’ve tried a lit match, a candle, scented, unscented, etc. and I still get teary eyes when I chop onions – which is a bummer because I’d love for something, *anything* to work!!!

    Swim goggles! That’s the only thing I’ve found to help prevent teary eyes when chopping onions….borrowed a pair from my daughter and she thought I was pretty funny! It worked! I have a 4 year old granddaughter they’re pretty sweet, funny and a little bossy at that age…God love ’em!
    Happy Birthday!

    This is really embarrassing but my I learned through my first job (working at Subway!) that if you wear sunglasses while chopping you won’t cry. I still do it and my husband thinks I am nuts!
