And when I do, I think I'd love to add some vintage glam touches. These two lamps from The Sunday Times Market would do just fine, don't you think?

Check out this fabulous desk that this little lady found on the sidewalk! What luck! And what neighbors!

(By the ways, besides having an eye for finding awesome furniture, Jasmine also has great fashion sense…. and according to her flickr profile- now I’m starting to sound like a stalker- she’s originally from my wonderful home state of Ohio! Holla!)

So, speaking of unwanted goods, our trash day was yesterdayy, and when it’s not blizzarding outside, there is this guy who usually drives around our neighborhood in a black pick-up-truck dumpster diving for treasures. The crazy thing is that his tuck is always loaded full! It makes me wonder… am I missing out? So I’m trying to decide if I should relegate my treasure finding to incidental sidewalk finds (which, let’s face it, never happens) or should I step it up another notch? Meh. Probably not.

Doesn't home seem so empty after the holidays? I usually add decorations for Christmas, but when they're taken down afterwards, it always seems like there is a void I need to fill. So, I've been thinking of some fun ways to add a little something extra to our decor after the sparkley lights and garlands are taken down.

I love that old salon chair and the industrial pieces laying about this apartment. It would be so lovely to find something completely useless but utterly enchanting like this for our own home.

Check out that blue cabinet! Not only does it match the wall, but the color adds a lot of whimsy to an otherwise ordinary piece of furniture. I have a couple of cheap thrift store pieces that I've been considering painting. Maybe it's time I think a bit more seriously on the matter…

Now, I'm not quite sure if this one is doable… But I've been wanting to wallpaper somewhere- anywhere!- in our house for quite some time. I'm just not sure how my landlord brother would feel about that.  Annnd I'm not sure how long we'll actually be living here. Maybe I should wait until we get our own home. But I can barely stand waiting any more!

I've been known to add little bits of 1960's kitsch in our home, but in the winter, it might be warming to add a few more fun pieces! Something easy to change out as the mood strikes me. Such as this afghan coverlet and the 12 Angry Men movie poster.

These drawer shelves really make me want to try a new vintage DIY project. I love the little touch of turquoise lace at the top as well. I'll have to try to find a way to make my own project a bit less girly, though, or it might garner complaints from the menfolk.

So, I have a couple more weeks until my next semester of school begins. Maybe I'll manage to accomplish some of these projects by then! Ah, I just don't know where to begin.
