Look at that! An advertisement made entirely out of fruit. That’s right. This sculpture was made out of peaches. Isn’t it cool looking?
What a shame if they wasted the peaches though. I just love peaches.

In one of my posts the other day I was saying how we hoped to finish off our living room dining room renovation sometime in the next month or two. Once the weather starts to get a little nicer anyway. Well, sometime after that project is done we’ll probably get started on either our upstairs bathroom or renovating the basement.
You’d think we’d sit back and enjoy finally having all ongoing reno projects finished, but no, I just want to get it all done and it will probably be at least a year before our house is finished just the way we want it if not more.
Now that it’s spring have you started to think about starting to renovate part of your home? Or if not renovate perhaps change the appliances or decor?
Perhaps you are thinking of selling your home soon? Did you know that having a nice up to date bathroom and kitchen can help you sell your home faster and perhaps even secure a better sale price?
If you’re thinking of updating your bathroom you might want to take a look at the selection of bathroom vanities at Premiere Vanities. They’re the largest online vanity store with more than 150 different kinds of bathroom vanities. They also have a number of lovely linen cabinet designs to chose from too.
When we begin to work on our bathrooms we’ll likely be looking at single bathroom vanities at least for the upstairs bathroom. Unless we expand that room it’s far to small for a double vanity although we could probably get away with a double vanity in the downstairs bathroom.
Certainly a couple who tend to get ready for work each day at the same time or perhaps those living in a large household would do well with a double vanity. It would certainly save some time in the morning for everyone!
If you are upgrading your washroom, no mater whether your preference is single or double bathroom vanities do take the time to have a look at the selection at Premiere Vanities. Their vanities are top of the line but the prices are wholesale so you can end up with a very impressive looking bathroom and save money at the same time.
You’ll find vanities of all styles and sizes. Among your choice of styles you’ll be able to choose from basin vanities, antique, traditional, wood and contemporary vanities.
One thing that I like about this company is that they have a 30 day no questions asked return policy as well as Free Shipping for any bathroom vanity purchase. You can’t beat that! Go get yourself a drink and then come back and browse through their selection.

Unfortunately my garden is still covered in snow. It’s been melting slowly, but at this rate it’s going to take at least a month before it’s totally gone. Sigh …
When the snow does finally disappear, beauties like these fringed tulips will make an appearance. I think these are my favorite tulips. Well, I’m also partial to Angelique tulips as well with their soft pink double petaled flowers.
How is your garden doing? Are you in a warmer area or are you still buried under snow like me?

Well I think it’s time for us to buy a new TV. We purchased our DLP (Digital Light Processor) television back in 2004 when DLPs were fairly new to the market. In fact, the first TV we got was a lemon. It wouldn’t even turn on and the second one that we got to replace that (same brand) worked for a total of 11 days before it ended up in the repair shop with half it’s parts needing to be replaced!
Unfortunately the store we bought our TV from, at a very high price mind you! It was close to $5000, wouldn’t let us cancel the sale after our disastrous experience with two sets so we replaced the second DLP with another brand (Samsung).
The third DLP tv set was working fairly well up until last August or so when it started making loud humming noises. It’s progressively gotten louder and louder as the months have gone by. Our set is still covered by our protection plan so we’re going to have it repaired, however, I’ve got to say that I’m completely fed up with DLP TV’s and I just want to get a new, less expensive set.
As I’ve mentioned before we’ve slowly been renovating our home. We started on the very first day that we got the house in June of 2001 and we’re still working on it. Well, actually we took a long break and there’s still half finished projects! I’m sick of looking at our half finished living room dining room, so along with getting our TV fixed and or replacing it I think we’d better get to work and finish our outstanding renovation project!
Hopefully the weather will start to get a little nicer over the next month. I don’t like renovating when it’s cold out and you can’t open windows to air out the house. Once the weather’s nice enough to open the door or a few windows for a short while maybe we’ll get to work, get the project done and then I can also get a few new pieces of furniture for the room.
I’ve been dying to redecorate and arrange the furniture in the way that I think it will look best once the rooms are finished. Hey, maybe we’ll get a membership at directbuy. You can get furniture, electronics, home decor and I believe even items like tiles and flooring for manufacture direct prices.
Getting our reno project finished, buying a new TV and maybe some new home furnishings while saving money sounds ideal to me. I guess I’d better start saving my pennies so I can get what I want, huh?

Photo Theme. Visit participants. |
This weeks theme is Metal
I’ve posted photos of Chicago’s famous Cloud Gate sculpture -aka The Bean – on a few of our blogs, but I don’t think I’ve posted this photo.
The bean is a huge spherical metallic sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Depending upon where you are standing when you gaze at the bean you can see different aspects of the surrounding city reflected in it’s almost spotless surface.
What you can see reflected in The Bean in this photo is what I think was a place called the Millennium Theater. It’s a huge outdoor theater or band shell and it’s got a gorgeous design.
Have you seen the bean?
