not so manic monday...

what a great weekend.

aren't they usually?

but sometimes  I welcome mondays (after multiple lattes) with a newfound energy

this week I will figure out the time delay feature on my washer,

but my black bookcase obsession still hasn't quite subsided...

my favorite red carpet  dress at the oscars
tried this & it was delish 
finally purchased this for the kids 
caught up on my General Hospital while ironing- it's getting good
helped out the Easter bunny 
loving this bag
contemplating here for some family r&r 


How was your weekend? 
ready to tackle the week ? 
need another cup of joe first? me, too. 


marvelous black library found here 

ebony...

lately i have had two overwhelming home decor urges...

paint everything black

rearrange my bookcases

since i have already used up countless cans of glossy black spray paint & the Mr. hubs will think i've completely gone mad if i paint the walls black. it's time to move on to the bookshelves.

but really why can't they be black as well? here's several i'm considering presenting Mr. hubs for his approval... 

loving this one, but silly question... 

do I put nothing behind the hanging art?

this is beautiful, but i don't have any art that large...

lovin' this one. 

not too much art or tchatchkes

although I have no clue what those two yellow things are?

any guesses?

the Mr. hubs is out of town at the moment for business so i have plenty of time to prepare my best proposal.
