Trust me... I know! Every winter I find myself racking my little brain on what I should get for my loved ones. And then I try to just remember the reason for the season and it makes me feel a little better... that is, until I glance over at the gifts I've gotten and am shocked again at how piddly they look. : ( So... I've been browsing some of my favorite online shops for ideas. I found some pretty nifty ideas on <a href="http://www.hivemodern.com/">HiveModern</a>. I'm loving the colander... but at $447... I think I'll stick to Crate & Barrel. : ) </div><div align="left">How's your holiday shopping going? Are you all done? Well... you have about 2 weeks left. Plenty of time, right? : ) Okay... I'm going to go watch Bravo now. It seems to be the only channel that ever stays on in our house. I'm loving the Housewives of Beverly Hills! Those ladies are too funny! Okay... this housewife must go for now. Have a fabulous night all! Until tomorrow!</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Happy Decorating!</div><div align="left">Mina</div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>

They're just so nostalgic and bright and fun! Plus they're great subjects for photographs! Blown up and framed, they make great artwork on a wall too. Especially in a mid-century decor. Hopefully everyone's Monday was blessed. I had a fantastic weekend, thank goodness! My mom & I went over to my brother's house and played the new Kinnect. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it. Just amazingly fun!!! Every muscle in my body <em>still</em> hurts! Then, I upgraded my cell phone and got the MyTouch 4G Android. U N B E L I E V A B L E!! My sister lives in Chicago and I live in Florida. So, she went out and got the same phone. We spoke through the video chat mechanism last night and neither of us could stop smiling! It was just a blast! Between the Kinnect and the Android, I began to wonder what kind of rock I've been hiding under for the past 2 years. Holy mac! Well... I guess I should just wave hello to the 21st century and be glad I'm finally here. : ) Did you guys have a great weekend? Anything fun? Okay... until tomorrow kids.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Happy Decorating!</div><div align="left">Mina</div></div></div></div>

Unfortunately, many don't do it until Thanksgiving Day comes upon them. Let me encourage you today to give thanks today and each day of the year. On this Thanksgiving Day, invite someone over for dinner who may not otherwise have a place to go or bring a beautiful Thank You card and a nice gift to your host/hostess. My tradition every year is to write down all of the blessings I am thankful for. It's really cool to look back at all the lists throughout the years and see how truly blessed I really am! It's also a good list to peruse on those days when I'm having a case of the blahs! Wishing all of you an amazing week ahead!</div><div> </div><div>Happy Decorating!</div><div>Mina<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div>

We Floridians get all giddy and smiley when this weather comes about. Mainly because compared to the 103 degree weather we're forced to endure during the summer, this lower 70s weather seems like a blessing from the weather gods. Thank you sooooo much weather gods!! : ) So, as I contemplated today's topic, I thought about mugs. I love mugs. Probably because I love coffee or hot cocoa or a good tea every now and again... : ) In fact, I never go to bed without first warming up a nice mug of milk. I put one tablespoon of instant de-caf coffee in it and two packets of Splenda. Try it! It's my version of the Spanish "Cafe con Leche," which the rest of you may know as a "Cafe Latte." It's divine and does wonders to put you to sleep. But, it has to be de-caf!! Otherwise, you may be running around the house vaccumming at 2:00 am! So, what better than to have mugs/cups that match your mid-century style home/kitchen? I found the ones pictured above by simply browsing the Net. I would highly recommend mugs by one of my favorite designers... <a href="http://www.orlakiely.com/usa/">Orla Kiely</a>. You can also find a few gems on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>. So... happy mug search! Have a wonderful Monday everyone! Muah!</div><div> </div><div>Happy Decorating!</div><div>Mina</div></div></div></div></div></div>

But, it's a crucial design element in a mid-century style decor. Whether you are using original Jackson Pollock's or modern prints, art work will bring out a pop of color into your interior, as well as lift up your spirits in a way that doesn't require any drug use. : ) So... how do you go about acquiring some of this art work?? The options are endless, really. If you are an artistic person by nature, then I say get yourself over to an art supply store and stock up on some canvas and paint... or whatever medium you're shooting for and do a DIY project. Find some inspiration in the furniture around you, the nature outside or other people's art and then do your own thing. If you're like me... I'm sure you've looked at a piece of art in a museum and thought... "If that's art, then I can be damn successful as an artist." You know what I'm talking about... like that huge canvas painted all red, with like a yellow streak in the middle of it and it's titled something like "flying" or some crap like that. So, again, if you're like me... you'll do it yourself. Other nifty places to check out though? <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy.com </a>has some amazing artists. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/">E-Bay</a>, thrift shops, vintage shops or big stores, like <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban Outfitters</a>, can usually carry some awesome stuff too. At the end of the day, it's your wall and your style. Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will look awesome. Give art a try and enhance your mid-century style decor!</div><div></div><div>Happy Decorating!</div><div>Mina</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div><a class="addthis_button" title="data:post.title" url="data:post.url"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" width="125" /></a> </div>

I'll write more about their prints in an upcoming article. Stay tuned. For now, however, I hope you enjoyed the pics.
