Making it Lovely has a feature going on where you can mail in and ask for some interior design help, so I took some photos of my living room to send it in. I asked for help making the room cosier and better for entertaining. I also need some help to cover up those wires. There have been days when I hate the living room but after I tidied up and took these photos I'm inclined to think that it's not too bad and it's nothing some art work, sidetables and maybe a small book shelf can't fix. I'd also like to change the light fixtures out for something a little more modern. So I won't be too heartbroken if I'm not picked and I may not even qualify anyway since she specified Chicago & Oak Park and I'm pretty sure Arlington Heights doesn't count.

Slippers

Now that it's getting colder, I've been looking for slippers for Aditi and me to wear about the house. Of course kids clothes are cuter and I started looking for Aditi first. One of my superpowers is to look at a product round up in a magazine and pick the most expensive thing on the page. Apparently I can apply this to the internet too - my favourites are the wabi slippers and if I amortise it it's only $10 a month if I make her wear them for the next 6 months right? My budget option from Target is sadly out of stock. My in between option are the TOMS, so Aditi and I can get matching shoes. (Hee!) The Lands Ends are probably the cosiest though.  
Which one do you like?
