I found this recipe for Korean pancakes (Pa Jun) over on the 30 Bucks a Week blog and can’t wait to try them. They’re made with egg, flour and chopped vegetables. You can use pretty much anything you have sitting around the fridge - carrots, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli. So it’s a great way to make use of produce before it goes bad.

I don’t usually keep artichokes on my kitchen counter but this tray is convincing me it might be a good idea. Of suppose, I should to figure out how the heck to cook one first.

I once spent an entire month scouring Craig’s List for vintage Bertoia chairs. I found a few, but the price tags were way out of my league. Today I discovered the blueprint chair at CB2 marked down to $70 a chair. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s really close and, most importantly, affordable.

What happens when cats attack? Adorableness.

I recently ordered curtains and curtain rods from JC Penney. A security light installed in the backyard of my building now shines directly through the blinds in my bedroom. It’s great for security but also like having a full moon blaring directly into my eyes while I’m trying to sleep. JC Penney has always been one of my favorite places to hunt for cheap home decor essentials, but some Roman shades I bought from them a few years ago were sort of disappointment. Not the case with aptly named 1.25″  Diameter Curved Rods. Not only do they look like something you’d find at West Elm for triple the price, they are great quality, heavy duty rods that are easily installed by two people and a drill. They’re on sale (and have been for at least a few weeks) for $30-$50 per rod.

It’s actual winter in Dallas for once - i.e. 12″ of snow last weekend and weeks of consecutive cold temperatures. So, of course, I’m thinking of summer. When actual summer gets here, mosquitoes will remind me of why I don’t really like summer. But, until then I will fantasize about this lovely patio set from Target and Smith and Hawken. Right now the whole set (including canopy) is marked down to $851.

Succulents are some of the most simply beautiful plants you will ever find. That makes this simple wood-slat window box the perfect place to put them on display.

With vases like these, you won’t ever have to buy flowers again. Of course, if you do, they’ll look even more beautiful. Etsy seller White Earth Studios also makes beautiful bowls, candlesticks and artwork.

I absolutely love these clear acrylic display shelves from Hay but they are so, so expensive. I’m not sure how they are hanging these things on the wall. From what I can tell, they have some sort of tiny little metal hangers on the backs. But maybe there’s a way to fake it with those acrylic boxes you find at the craft store? Keep your fingers crossed.

This is sort of an anti-Valentine’s Valentine, I suppose. But I do love this photo. Have a great Valentine’s weekend.
