The Bellamy's [lindO photography]

This will be a new section of the blog where I post lindO photography. I originally started taking photos for the PROP rentals (as blogged here) and it has started to snowball - it's no longer just props I'm photographing!

I would love to introduce the Bellamy Family!

JCP is Freshening Up [interior Design]

It was announced a while ago that JCPenney will be introducing pop up stores within their store carrying the names of interior designers like Jonathan Adler, Michael Graves, and possibly Martha Stewart (she's having more legal issues).

I'm most excited about Jonathan Adler and his Happy Chic line. I love the bright colors and fresh designs.

$35

$38

$30

$32

$30-$150

The pop up shops should be popping into the stores in April. Will they give Target a run for their money??

Ain't Nobody Got Time for Dat!

Since I posted this I've decided to make more regular posts about random projects that people find the time to do. For example:

Look at the detail. I'm amazed.

What about decorating your thumbtacks? Please reread that last sentence.

Crazy right? Painting thumbtacks.

There are so many iphone cases. While these are very cute, I would rather just purchase one.

source

Thanks for the patterns but Etsy makes life a lot easier when it comes to ice cream iphone cases.

So these posts will now be titled after Sweet Brown's catch phrase that I can't get out of my head when I come across this stuff.

Because really, ain't nobody got time for dat.

Pretty but Practical? [interior Design]

While cruising through the Remodelista blog I saw this post on bath trays and thought "are these practical?". Does anyone really use these? They seem like they would get in the way of the task at hand. I need to get in and out! Yes of course they are pretty and great for decor but it would drive me nuts to be moving this back and forth, in and out. I'll think about them for my vacation home after I win the lotto though. Maybe I will have time then to watch a candle burn while bathing. I'll have to Pin It to my "I wish" board in the mean time.

Bar Renovation "Progress" [interior Design]

I'm going to keep it real. There is nothing exciting about this post. It is a depressing "update" on the bar renovation that has been in the works for years now. Since it's taken so long to rework 6 linear feet of space, you can imagine the "progress" you are about to see.

The big news is that the two cabinets are here. Have they been installed since we got them weeks ago? No. The one has had the side cut by my dad to fit around the pipes but that is it. We also got a pretty awesome gift from my sister for Christmas - a beverage fridge. That arrived last week and is sitting in the area waiting for it's final resting spot.

As this photo indicates this area is a hot mess waiting to be addressed:

Excuse the phone photo but does this really look like it deserves a good shot?

We are currently shopping for sinks and we are eyeing something like this:

The "add to cart" price is $212.47 and it's 20" wide. Maybe I can find a little wider to fit the 24" sink base cabinet but that's a good price. In retrospect I should've gone bananas and planned for a 42" trough like this :
