You may interested to know if one types in Tara’s vintage kitchen on etsy, the reply is there is no such site.

At first I though the picture of Paul Hogans’ place was attached to the My Ugly Baby link…. I did a double take… if that’s ugly then I sure don’t know what’s pretty!! Glad I sorted it out! Duh! Lx

That is kind of confusing! I just switched the links around so they don’t look like they go together any more. -Julia
I really love the news report about the tiny house. I’m just so fascinated by these.

We all have much to learn from the woman in the 84-sq-ft dreamhouse. Thanks so much for posting that link.
I was wearing the exact same shoes Christine has on in my kitchen just this morning– what a coincidence
Have a great and safe Labor Day weekend!

Thanks Julia – might raise a G&T towards Cincinnati later this afternoon!
.-= Lauren´s last blog ..I said I’d do it and I did =-.
Thanks for the links. I couldn’t imagine living in an 84 square foot house. It would be way too small for me.
Loved the video about the 84 sq ft house. Very cool. That might be possible if I didn’t have kids and a dog and a husband to escape;) HA! Pretty cool to have a $6 power bill and no mortgage. I could totally go for that and definitely understand the desire for a simpler life. Have a great weekend Julia:)

Linda Kowalski has seriously good taste, I have been tracking her houses for years and love every last one of them – so original, totally relaxed and ahead of the curve. She seems to be a serial renovator~

Flat top grill…never been to Benihana?
And the “Croc” place: if you look in the dictionary under McMansion, that’s the illustration. Over an Acre in Santa Barbara Counties highest priced neighborhood and the garage door sits on the facade of the house a common steroided tract house on a 5500 sq-ft lot in Orcutt.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll try milk on my Cheerios

Ah, yes, I have been to Benihana. Never saw a Benihana-type grill in a neighbor’s backyard, though. Ha. -Julia
BTW have a great w/e.
How is it I never saw your post on Candice Olson? I love her and her design style. I wouldn’t necessarily want all of what she does in my space, but I think she’s super talented. Love her personality and sense of humor as well. Thanks for posting your August “Top 20″ or else I wouldn’t have seen it!
That 84 square foot house gave me nightmares! I literally dreamed that my house shrank last night. Good for her for being able (crazy enough?) to live so simply. That is far from my dream home.

Thank you for the link the ugly baby site! I can tell it’s going to be the source of much amusement.

Go Croc! Fly house.
As for the 84 sq. ft.: I don’t fill my home with expensive things but I love closet space, my sleep number bed for my bad back, and a spare room for when family visits.
But hey, if you can hack it? Why not! Good for her. Very cool article.

Getting my weekend link fix here!
Love Croc’s house…quite monochromatic, which appeals to me.
I’ve heard nothing but bad reviews on the Oval Office re-do. I think it looks better, except for the coffee table. Don’t like the coffee table. Somebody please let him know for me. We aren’t speaking.
Have a great weekend!

The 84 sq ft house is brilliant! I’ve spent some time on boats and can tell you she made excellent use of space.
