If you got a problem

yo I'll solve it. All the extra drives for my computer make it super zippy, but they are not very cute:Until I pack them all away in here:

Grand Marquee

My cool kid idols over at Something's Hiding In Here have this cool new billboard project at an Urban Outfitters. It reminds me of this great mini marquee from ReadyMade-- perfect for leaving messages for the people you live with.
You could also get all DIY with marquee lettering from places like this.

The Organized Life

The Autumn always makes me feel the mini-stir of back to school excitement. Much like New Year's, I tend to take stock of my life and try to get things in better order. I've been working on coralling and organizing all of my art supplies lately (stay tuned for progress). These daily organization tips from Martha are great. I especially like this article about de-cluttering. What about the rest of you-- got any back to school resolutions? p.s. special shout out to all my friends who are teachers-- hope you have a great year!

Working Girl

I LOVE this post on decor8 about making office spaces pretty and functional. I want all of them. Any good ideas for making shared office spaces nice? We're three deep here, and the guys just don't share my design aesthetic (aka, they could care less).

By Its Cover

Although it sure looks purdy, I've sort of been internally snotty about arranging books by the color of their covers. Mainly because it's what's on the inside that matters, right? Right. Well, I decided that I could justify it for a few of my novels. And I love how it looks. This is a picture of the top two shelves of my newly installed bookshelves.
