Sophia Lamp

This lamp/earring holder has been making the rounds in the blogosphere. I loved the idea and needed some earring storage myself. My lamp came from Target a couple of years ago and does the job just as well. The lampshade was my least favorite aspect about the lamp and I often thought of replacing it. Glad I didn't.

I love it when it turns out you already have something that you didn't realize was especially cool. Mike and I are trying to not buy anything unless we really need it as opposed to want it. That is much more difficult for me as I often see things I want, but don't need.

The tile work that we did. I learned a lot from this experience. Never do light tile and/or light grout again. It will NEVER stay clean. Black tile and grout, totally awesome.
I need to take some photos of what we've been doing in the new house. We are completely moved in, but we are not unpacked. I have stuff that still needs a home and pictures to hang. Plus we need to carpet the bedroom and eventually redo the kitchen.
