After digging around in my basement, I found some bamboo blinds in our basement from our previous apartment. Lo and behold, they fit our master bedroom windows exactly, with not a whisper of room to spare.
I am much happier with the bamboo blinds than the roller shades I ruined.
One of the things I am loving about our new town is all the thrift stores! I stopped at a thrift store today and found some great stuff.
These matriyoshka dolls are adorable. Usually you find about five nested dolls inside, but this one has ten.
I love that her little frill in front is silver sequins.
Look at the wee little baby one. Its smaller than my pinky fingernail.
Princess loved the dolls, but I put them up on top of her dresser for now. Girlfriend has been known to go all "Hulk SMASH" on nesting dolls before.
I also picked up this wooden Asian doll thingy.
She found a home in Princess's room too.
Last but not least, I haggled over this pair of bamboo frames with delightful early eighties bird art, and got the pair for $15.
The bird art will probably find its home in the dumpster, but the frames....well, they are so pretty, I have to find a nice place for them. Perhaps over our nighttables in the master bedroom? Also, I have no idea what to put in them. The eighties bird art may stay until I figure out something different.
Ideas? What goes with a chiang mai dragon (on the opposite wall) that isn't explicitly Asian themed?

I cannot get over how amazing those curtains are. They are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIs there fruit in that dragon print? I feel like you could frame fruit pictures. How is dragon art going, btw? Fun times?
