See that there? That's a Blueprint clipping from 19diggity7 which shows a swatch of THE PERFECT fabric for my kitchen roller shades. For two months I've had the fabric sample in my purse, but at $42.95 a yard I was having trouble bucking up the courage to up and call. There are children starving who need new shoes and all. But this morning I was sick of the swatch's high end taunting, and I finally, FINALLY, made the call to place the order. After all, that's why I have a credit card, right?

So I called up B & J Fabrics (the only resale source for the fabric that I've been able to track down), and now it looks like they may be out of stock. Well. Of course they are.

I'm calling upon the powers of the blogosphere to aid me in sending good thoughts and unicorns to B & J's so that they will call back with good news tomorrow. Just in case my embroidered linen world crumbles, does anyone out there have any suggestions for another source? Perhaps a suitable replacement? The fate of my kitchen is in your hands!

Neighborhood Conservation Districts. Infill development. Prese-reno-restoration.
Everybody in Tulsa seems to have an opinion. The debates have been fueled, for the most part, by the increase in snout houses and McMansions within historic neighborhoods. But where does this guy fit in to the discussion?

It's definitely an interesting take on the American Foursquare style and I can appreciate the nods to craftsman design. I guess I can commend the architect's vision and his desire to update a nearly abandoned architectural style for "today". At least it's not another "urban loft", right?

Personally, I think I'll stick with my original foursquare. Thanks though.

What would you think if this was a renovation within your own bungalow neighborhood?

Posts have been lame and far between as I'm prepping for the Blue Dome Arts Festival. But really, how much do you want to read about how far we AREN'T along on the bathroom? I know I don't want to write it. When you can only afford a freelance electrician once a week for two hours, things don't move very fast.
If anyone needs an electrician in the Tulsa area, let me know, and I'd be more than happy to recommend this dude. He's our new best friend who we pay to hang out with us.

Here's a little somethin' somethin' to get you through my posting lull. Sound Opinions described them as the Scottish White Stripes... in reverse. Listen to these songs and I promise you won't worry about anything ever again. Ever.
