My new blinds?

since my husband and I bought our place, we've been struggling with how to block out the light from the outside.  Our windows are floor to ceiling with no place to put any kind of hardware.  We've finally settled on putting roll-up blinds inside the frame of our windows.  My coworker pointed me to a site surfaceview.co.uk where they do large scale canvases, wall decals, and custom roll up blinds.

I asked them to do a rendering of our windows and this is what they came up with.  

I am speechless.  It is the coolest thing I have ever seen and I am running out the buy them ASAP.

Shake 'n Bake Part Deux

So tonight is the big decorating final and I decided not to use my small heart cake as part of the big cake.  So I did this instead.

Why PROM you say? Why not?  Actually I was trying to do Happy Birthday Mom and I didn't get that far.  So with the letters I did cut out, I had PROM, MOP, PRO, MORP, ROMP (which would have been awesome).  Oh well.

Which Lamp would you choose?

My husband and I are in the market for a big ass floor lamp.

I think we've narrowed it down to these two.  Which would you pick?

Twine Floor Lamp: CB2 $199Beacon Floor Lamp: CB2 $249

 

I think the first one is sort of classic and cool but the second one speaks to my hubby's cinematography and movie geekiness.  Which one would you pick?
