I don’t know about you, but this week absolutely flew by for me. I looked up and suddenly it was Thursday, and now it’s already Friday. No complaints – I just can’t believe how fast this week went and that September is already halfway over! Well, anyway – do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Anything fun and Fall-related??

This week’s Weekly Six has a few Fall items in it:

1 – Have you ever tried making your own bagels? This recipe looks like a great one.

2 – Here’s ten frugal ways to bring Fall into your home.

3 – Love this Love Me Tender chair – so sleek and modern.

4 – Hot pink + easy DIY = thank you very much!

5 – I think I may have blogged this a long time ago – but I want one. Now!!

6 – Two of my favorite things come together in this Pumpkin Gnocchi recipe.

What have you found this week? Feel free to share in the comments!

When I was a kid, all I ever wanted was a day bed. A day bed with a trundle so I had this fun setup when friends slept over. I begged and pleaded but never got one. Instead, my parents got me a double bed which was supposed to be much cooler and sophisticated. Which I guess it was, but it was boring! It wasn’t fun and different like those Barbie beds or a cool car bed that the boys got. Or even a canopy bed or a water bed!

Now that I’m older, the types of beds I’m drawn to are definitely different that before – and instead of Barbie beds I’m contemplating between velvet tufted or rod iron! And still, there are even more various bed styles out there.

You may have seen the images above in a long pin on Pinterest. They come from a string of bed styles that range from the sunken bed to the burger bed and there’s even one that looks like Cinderella’s carriage! There are just so many styles – some practical, some not so much.

Do you have a practical bed in your bedroom or is yours wild and crazy like a cheeseburger?

Doesn’t this wooden light bulb make you want to switch out every light bulb in your house? I know that’s what I want to do!

Designed by Fukusada Design, the Wooden Light Bulb is made using a Japanese technique called “Rokuro.” An LED light is wrapped in a wooden shell and chipped until a minimum thickness is achieved. The top of the light bulb is made of aluminium.

I don’t know too much about lighting, but I’m guessing that the LED light would be like those Christmas lights that don’t get hot – so that the wood wouldn’t catch on fire!

What do you think of the Wooden Light Bulb? Would you put this in your home?

When I say painted drawers, I don’t mean painted on the exterior – I mean painted on the interior! I guess I should have elaborated in the title, but it doesn’t really have a nice ring to it!

Anyway, today I’m looking at two different styles of painted drawers – on the inside of the actual drawer and on the exterior of the actual drawer – not the front or drawer panel. Does that make sense? The photos above may help to make it more clear.

In the top left and bottom right photos, you can see the exterior of the actual drawers are painted, while in the top right and bottom left photos, the interior of the drawers are painted. Both ways offer a whimsical surprise that will make anyone who opens the drawer smile.

What do you think – do you love this look? Where in your home would you implement the look of painted drawers??

It’s been a known fact in our house that our little Maltese doggie has been spitefully peeing on the sole carpet in our house every now and again. Several times, we didn’t catch it soon enough and the pee had already seeped through the rug to the wood floors underneath the carpet. And no, stupid us, we did not put a rug pad underneath! So, needless to say, we had a few areas of ruined hardwood floors. Fortunately, my fiance has a friend in the business so he called him over last week to see what he could do for us.

We were left with two options – we could have him cut out the damaged areas and replace those with new flooring, or we could restain the entire room, in a darker finish so that the stains would blend in. As we were searching for different wood floor finishes, I thought – this is the perfect idea for a blog post! Because, as we perused a million different shades of flooring, I just couldn’t decide what I would rather. I won’t tell you what we ended up deciding – I’ll save that for another post!

So, tell me – which would you rather? Light wood floors, dark wood floors, white wood floors – or no wood floors!?
