I'm collecting some viewer-submitted videos for an upcoming JITH episode, and wanted to give you guys the heads-up in case you'd like to participate!
What you do: Just send me a short video clip (like 15-30 seconds) showing me your favorite and/or weirdest home decor item (bonus points if it's both your favorite and your weirdest!) and telling me in a sentence or two either where you got it or why you love it.
Want to see one of my favorite things in my apartment?
Now those are (urban) cowgirl boots.
We're going back to see a couple of houses today that we rejected the first time around, but that I think may be able to see more clearly now that I've been hanging around this rodeo for awhile (e.g. looking past cosmetic concerns like a patchy yard or paint colors I hate).
In your opinion, is this a bad idea? When it comes to first impressions with homes, how important is that initial gut reaction? I know that you should never base a home purchase on things like, say, how nice the kitchen appliances are or how the previous owners decorated...but is there that intangible something that makes you recognize a place immediately as somewhere you'd like to spend the years to come?
(Oh, and I'll Tweet pics today - from about 3-6 is when I'll be up-river.)
Please check out the cuteness at left.
That's the brainchild of Charm City Babies co-founders and brand-new dads Richie Frieman and Scott Smith. Lovers of music and vintage-inspired style, they found themselves disappointed by the kids' clothing they saw on the market, and decided to start making their own onesies in order to dress their kids in the kinds of things that they'd want to wear themselves.
I obviously am on board with this idea, and will be even more all about it when they create a Aerosmith Get A Grip tour onesie.
...Guys?
Spending the holiday in the city and looking for dining recommendations?
