 According to My Count Down there are 41 days, 15 hours, and 42 minutes until
The First Day of Spring!

 Sadly, many of us suffer from varying degrees of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that usually occurs in the Fall and continues throughout the Winter.  Thankfully the symptoms typically clear up in the Spring.

 So what can you do to combat SAD?  The Mayo Clinic offers several treatment options including light therapy which simulates the warmth of Summer.

 Here's my suggestion for combating the Winter Blues:
surround yourself with cheerful colors, specifically, Pink!

Small Kids' Bedrooms Problem: A shared room with lots of stuff. Solution: For a shared room, try shared furniture. In this girls’ room, a dresser positioned between two twin beds doubles as a nightstand for both beds. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT ALSO GIVES AN IDEA TO KEEP BOXES TOGETHER TO CREATE A BED AND ALSO HAVE BASKETS UNDERNEATH.

My auction dresser find will hopefully resemble this Taylor Six Drawer Scalloped Dresser when I paint it hot pink with white accents!!! If it turns out well this will only cost about $150 verses the $1600+ original!!! Fingers crossed.
Rosenberry Rooms
This nursery dresser at Rosenberry Rooms is priced at $1,645.00.
I'm betting a thrift store dresser could be painted similar to this
style for a whole lot less.  (Like about $1,600.00 less!)

Unexpected Small Space Problem: Boring bathroom. Solution: Enliven a small bathroom with fun pattern and color on the walls and floor. It adds a happy twist to a utilitarian space. Since it's a small room, you won't need to buy as much wallpaper or flooring, a cost-saving perk of a small-space makeover.

I LOVE this powder room!

Box-Beam Ceiling Usually found in more formal areas like living and dining rooms, a box-beam ceiling adds a touch of elegance here. Because box beams lower the ceiling height, they work best in spaces with a ceiling that's 9 feet or higher. Most decorative beams are hollow boxes made from finished boards and applied molding.
Lovely.

How can you not be cheerful when surrounded by
such uplifting and multi-shade colors of pink?
Think about it.

 Note:  Guess where I am this week?  Come on, guess.  You're right - Minnesota!  And I'm having a few problems with my posts - namely a few photos that aren't uploading.  Brilliant minds (i.e., my 3 yr old grandson) are working on the problem and I'll try to have it corrected soon.

Last year I said that I needed to have my 'want bone' removed but I never did.

 Unfortunately, I've had a recent flare up . . . . . . .


 I want this cart:
Paris, 1950
A man reads a newspaper on New York's 6th
Avenue and 40th Street, May 18, 1940:

I want 5¢ milkshakes and 10¢ coffee.
See the lady in the middle?  I want her hat.
Vintage Black And White Photography - Bing Images
If that's a ferret in the wash tub, I want one:
Vintage Black and white photo
I want the table on the right:

Two young friends, Pittsburgh, PA, c.1932
Gentleman demonstrates the latest
stop sign technology, March, 1936:
Reflections on a Stop Sign: 1936
I want one.  The sign, not another man.
Very rare street scene, London, c. 1872

I want the birdcage under the table.
And the chairs.
I want everything in this photo:
Wright Light: 1949
Photo of Russel Wright's apartment at 221 East
48th Street, New York City, May 13, 1949
Do you see it?  The palmist sign to the left?  I want it.
Federal Clothing: 1925
Federal Clothing Store, 621 Seventh St. NW,
Washington, DC, 1925
Rapid Deployment Force: 1917
I never had a pony.  I want that pony.
If I can't have a pony I'll take a goat.
Moxie Kids: 1904
Coney Island goat carriages, 1904
The Detroit Opera House and Wonderland Theatre, c.1900
Wonder what happened to those signs?
I want them.

City Hall of Detroit, MI, c.1900Welcome to Detroit: 1900
Yup, I want one of those fruit carts, too.



Clifford and Tommie Whittington of 38 Price St., Savannah,
GA, converted their basement into a deli and beer store, c. 1937
Where is that gorgeous neon sign today?  I want it.
Another view of the Whittington's deli and beer store.



The Bayou Pom Pom Grocery Store stood at 701 Bourbon
Street at Peters Street, New Orleans, LA, c.1937
Sad that all of those signs ended up in the city landfill.  I want them.
Google: 701 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA
The same street lamp is still there!



A class for makeup sales associates, the Helena
Rubinstein Co., 655 Fifth Ave., NYC, Sept., 1961
Wrapped in Plastic: 1961
I want one of those vanities.
(Reminds me of the scene on Mad Men where she emptied the waste basket
of tissues where the models had blotted their lips - "a basket of kisses.")

Miss Elizabeth Huffman working in a research
test kitchen, Washington, DC, Sept. 6, 1922:
Get Milk: 1922
The kettle and pressure cooker - I want them.
A vintage typewriter?  Want one.
Qwerty Women: 1902
The typewriting department of the National
Cash Register Co., Dayton, Ohio, 1902
(These ladies would be amazed by Casual Fridays.)
I want a tree house like this:
Chêne Chapelle The Chêne chapelle (“chapel oak”) is an oak tree located in Allouville-Bellefosse in Seine-Maritime, France. The oak tree is between 800 and 1,200 years old. It is 15m high and its base has a circumference of 16m. Its hollow trunk hosts two chapels, which were built there in 1669: Notre Dame de la Paix (“Our Lady of Peace”) and the Chambre de l’Ermite (“Hermit’s room”). A spiral staircase around the trunk provides access to the chapels. The Oak Chapel still stands and can be seen in modern photographs here.
Chene Chapelle ("Chapel Oak") is an oak tree located
in Allouville-Bellefosse in Seine-Maritime, France.
The tree is believed to be between 800 and 1,200 years old.
In 1669 two chapels were built in its hollow trunk.

Sadly, a current photo of the tree shows that
it hasn't fared very well over the centuries.

 Yup, I've definitely got to get that 'want bone' removed.
