Friday Five

five suggestions ::

#1

make something old...new!

the buttons on the back of my work dress were chipping 

which made it look ug & tattered. 

instead of giving up hope and ditching the dress all together, 

i spruced things up with new buttons. ta-da!

#2

do a little home improvement, Tim-the-tool-man-Taylor style.

check out this insiders' guide to online home decor resources. 

(so many fab websites!)

p.s. clean your hair brushes.

#3

take your change jar to the nearest coin counter and treat yourself to a fun meal! patrick & i did that this week with my jar that has been sitting full in my kitchen for wayyy too long. and the weird part? it came to $44.09. we used it for our sushi dinner date and our bill? came to $44.09. (!!)

#4

try a new recipe!
you know you've pinned plenty of them on Pinterest by now. ;)
i want to learn how to make these lemon garlic brussels sprouts.

#5

revamp your planning system.
need a new planner but don't want to wait until 2013?
these ones start next month.
here are ones for moms! plus a home office edition.

i hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
(and a lucky Friday-the-13th!)

until next time,
