In response to the mantle post: yes, the k is definitely for my last name...and hudson's...and our other roommate's for that matter. Jamie = Kanter. Leslie = Kasahara. Hudson takes on the Kanter when misbehaving and my last name when simply angelic. Patrick + Devon call us the Kantaharas which I totally love.Lucky enough for this alphabet-loving gal, I feel like I can partake in throwing k's all over the place because of this fun happenstance! Well, obviously just short of displaying three-k's-in-a-row...'cuz that wouldn't be coo'. Aaaand monogrammed towels. Can't do those. Do you not agree that monogrammed towels say "married" more than anything else you know? Like even more than wedding bands?
Oh, for SURE, you guys.
Don't scoff.
And those of you who think you're exuding marriedness by wearing those bands, but without the presence of monogrammed towels? You're exempt from this survey. ha.
I'm still working behind the scenes on the junk room and it's coming along at a snail's pace. Mostly because I stop myself from doing proper things like organize and look at window coverings. Instead, I waste time playing with leeeetle, teeny projects like color coordinating yet another K!
Got the letter + paper @ a craft store.
Traced both front + back. Cut strips of 1" for the border.
Mod Podge!!! Holla!This schizz kinda smells funny.
I dampened the paper for pliability and podge-soakability.
Placed the paper on there from one end to another,squishing those air bubbles as you go.
V. satisfying to squish air bubbles.
Make certain to get it all over your fingers like me.You'll be cooler if you do.
A couple of coats to polish it all off and tada!Another k.
ps. the one on the mantle is from anthropologie

totally cute.
too funny, and how about those monogrammed pillows on the bed?
great idea. ben and i can do that with our last names too. jackson's is gordon-goodrich... only used when he is in trouble though.
that is so cute!
and then when you get old you can wear matching nylon track suits, and fanny packs if you're super cool. I hear ya on the matching monogrammed - how's that for a yucky alphabet-induced mix-up. May as well get matching toothbrushes.
And mod-podge - never used it but I believe this alone could solve many of the worlds problems, at least when it comes to colour coordinating accessories. I need to get me a bottle, pronto!
you would salivate of my freaking awesome crafty-room basement, pics coming soon.

will you just make me a "C" instead of teaching me?
when i read this title post in my reader before there was a story to go with it ... it made me think that maybe your post about your mantle was a leslie round about approach to "telling us something" and that we all just weren't getting the hint. please don't tell me something like that via your blog.
devon = you're silly.
liz = i'll totally make you one! what color and pattern do you want?
