Hmm… I really want an apartment/condo/small house. Based on the current housing loan interest rates, the economy, and the rate at which I buy shoes versus my pay, I’ll have a house in 2030… never.
So what shoud a gal do? Well, I’ve been reading all my favourite design blogs, and sighing dreamily for the past 48 hours. Amongst the gazillion beautiful things I found and really want(Read: Eames Hang-It-All!), I saw this cool Martha Stewart DIY project, which I think would be brill for an apartment balcony, or for framing off an area in any room.

“Geometric topiaries”
Light Columns How-To
1. Purchase a bamboo stick or dowel that’s 6 feet long and 1 inch in diameter. Drive the pole deep into the ground until it’s solidly anchored. Run a 50-bulb string of lights up one side of the pole and down the other, securing it with masking tape.
2. Stack paper lanterns (ours were 14 inches in diameter) over the stick. Secure the lanterns to each other with tape. Note: If you intend to place these fixtures by a swimming pool, it is imperative that you plug the lights into GFCI outlets and use extension cords approved for outdoor use.”
