Onto post #3 expressing my deep affection & appreciation for the various ways one can use mighty magnets. Seriously, these suckers are so strong & inspiring I could probably eek out another couple of posts. I spend a lot of time starring at the wall, mostly avoiding typing a blog and last week it occurred to me I could display my favorite ... read more
my strong attraction to mighty magnets (part 1)
If you live in a home that boast an outdated vintage kitchen that has metal cabinets, you can probably appreciate my passion for mighties. They are tiny little magnets from Three by Three that are absurdly strong. I've long since run out of wall space, yet keep receiving gifts of artwork. I glued 16 (more than an adequate amount) ... read more
my monday morning obsession
Ok, this obsession isn't reserved just for a Monday morning. Aside being completely infatuated with my bulldog puppy, Tater Tot, I laugh at this photo every time because his front right leg is just obscenely long. Plus I like how crazy intense the red sofa is. So I guess this does qualify as a Monday morning obsession. Let's hope inspiration ... read more
my monday morning obsession
For those that follow apartmentjeanie on instagram may have notice I have a penchant for photographing my perfectly executed manicures. But this current creation is a definite fav. I literally cannot stop staring at my crimson tipped talons. Somehow the dripping blood is chic & creepy at once. If this is the pre-Halloween hand - I'd better ... read more
insta book = insta awesome
A show of hands, how many of you print your instagram pix? That's what I thought. With so many photo apps available that allow you to order prints seconds after you snapped them, it's perplexing as to why people are content to keep the images squired away in the phone gallery. Perhaps the unconventional size of instagram & ... read more

Source: budgetwisehome.com via Meredith on Pinterest I'm moderately obsessed with the idea of dividing up a pastel colored map and framing the individual sections in inexpensive frames - of course in the same color and hanging in the accurate order. I'm currently trying to strong arm a client into this idea for his guest room with a New York City ... read more
instagram addict
To say I am currently obsessed with Instagram would be a mild and inaccurate understatement. My desire to expose the non-app'd to the joy that is crisp digital photography that has been manipulated to look like tonal muted vintage photography is limitless. A few weeks ago while in Portland, I had commandeered absolute strangers' phones (mostly ... read more
totally awesome toy photography
I've been buying a lot of photography of late (damn you, Fab!) which is awesome, but problematic as there is zero available wall space in which to feature it. Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts' brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I ... read more
personnel portrait photography
Recently I was talking with a friend who was back in NYC for the 1st time since moving to Chicago. She regaled all the running around she was doing in order to see everyone and everything that was important in her life while living here. For a vacation it sounded absolutely exhausting. Which is precisely why I have little desire to move ... read more
iphone envy
Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Ok, so I’ll just cop to my affliction – I have iphone envy. More specifically, I have iphone photo app envy. And saying it twice doesn’t diminish my desire for the Android platform to adopt a legitimate hipstamatic option. There are alternatives that posses similar capabilities ... read more
