Sunday Night Line Up

Sunday night is always a very stressful night in our house. We’re not juggling football games, or preparing for a crazy work week to begin. No, we are stressed because there are just too many TV shows on that we like to watch and prioritizing them is always so stressful. Our Tivo works on overdrive on Sundays. We never know which shows to watch 'live' and which to save for another night. However, tonight’s decision is easy because it’s the season premier of HBO's Big Love (woot woot!). One of my all time favorite shows! Definitely 'live' worthy. Which means that Desperate Housewives will have to be Tivoed. And who can forget about Sunday night on E! Keeping Up With The Kardashisians and my new all time fav, Jiuliana and Bill (looooooove her!)

What will we do when Entourage AND True Blood come back on!?!?! Highly intelligent TV watching going on over here!

So, what do you like to watch on Sunday nights?

Need Your Advice

Ok, so...for my first try at refinishing something I chose to refinish this antique wood desk.

My original intent was to paint it white and distress it a little.  My inspiration was this photo...

I planned to get some cute vintage clear knobs and buy a funky print chair.

But, at the last minute standing in the Lowes paint aisle my eyes were drawn to stains. For some reason the stains were calling my name. I ended up staining the desk a darker color to make it look more mahogany.

At first I was pleased with how it turned out but now I can’t stop my brain from thinking what it could/would look like if I stuck to my original idea of painting it white. What do you guys think? Should I repaint it white or keep it the way it is?

The Writing on My Wall

After blogging about random ramblings that go on at The Berlin's Wall, I've decided to expand my blog by doing something I've wanted to do for a while now. For those who know me, it is no secret that I am a total blog junkie. I spend countless hours poring over other peoples blogs. From life blogs, to do-it-yourself renovation blogs, fashion blogs and food blogs. I love them all. It’s not just pure voyeurism that keeps me entertained and coming back, I have also learned a tremendous amount from some of these blogs. It was because of the blogs I read that I decided to refinish an old wood desk. It was because of these blogs that I convinced my husband that painted cabinets could look good. I finally caved and read, devoured the Twilight series because of all the recommendations of people in the blog world. I started juicing, drinking green monsters, tried hot yoga, all due to the blogs I read. This past year would have been very different if it wasn’t from my online ‘friends’ steering me to try new things.

So because of this I have decided to start a new series where I will feature different blogs that have inspired me in some way. Let’s face it, aren’t you just in awe of some of these women who find time to juggle all the things life throws at them, marriage, career, children, home improvement projects, working out, staying fashionable and still have time to blog (what seems like effortlessly), about it. I always think to myself, I wonder what their daily life is really like? Each featured blog will be a firsthand account of what a day in the life is really like for them. From the time their alarm clock goes off to the time they go to bed.

I’ve decided to call this section, “The Writing on My Wall.” A little play on words with my blog name, The Berlin’s Wall.

I have the first featured blog all set up so hurry back so you don’t miss it! I’ll give you a hint, she’s a real FUN girl!
