I hope you've scheduled a mammogram soon...
**
My thrifted olden book shelf...$10.00
painted the best french black...
$189.00 from CSN STORES and looks to be a very nice piece...
that price includes all the baskets..
**
But, when I began to see numbers on everything,
I WANTED SOME !
I'm about to pitch a hissy fit for some pillows with numbers...big
numbers....
I had these vinyl numbers left from my CANISTER set project...
and altho they seem a little too large, I'm going to live with them for a few days
before I change to the smaller numbers...
*
I had tried stencils on baskets before and they looked terrible.....
SOOO, using tags is perfect because when POTTERY BARN says this fad is done,
I can just take the tags off...:))
*
I AM LOVIN' THESE....
MR. SWEET rolled his eyes so far back in his head when he saw these that I wondered if he would ever
be able to see again.....
LOL

Yep, you've got a winner! I love the tags with numbers. May I please "borrow" that idea? I'm hosting a baby shower soon (yes, a friend of mine, in her 40s, had a blessed surprise)and think I could use that idea as a theme. Baby #3....
I like your ideas. Men just have a different eye for things than we do. You are probably the only that uses this, so do it for yourself.
At least your hubby NOTICED you did something ... mine never does ...
Love what you are doing.
Have a beautiful weekend, my friend.

Loving the numbers! I just brought a ladderback chair home from my booth that I painted white and am going to put numbers on the back!!
Even though the shelves from CSN stores are extra pretty, I like yours much better! I do like the number tags on them too. What a cute trend!
I just did my product review for CSN today. Gosh, I do love that store! Come see my pretty that I got delivered! Can't wait to see what you get.

I always have a yearly mammogram. And I just had the 6 months check, on the breast where "something looked funny" in the spring. And lots of testing showed, that it was ok.
Since our daughter is a breast cancer survivor, we are well aware of this whole topic. Too well aware, you might say.
Hmmmmmmmmm... I'm the first one to answer your first question. Interesting. Hope I'm not the last one. It's very important. Thank you for reminding people.
Gentle hugs...
BJ,
Looks great!
Poor Mr. Sweet. Hope his eyes have rolled back to their normal, functioning position!
The number tags look great! And you are right, with the tags you can remove them when you no longer want numbers.
Hugs,
Penny
p.s. do you leave anywhere near College Station?
Ohhhh BJ I hope you find your pillows soon :) I love those numbers too....I could use them in every room if I could get away with it..ha! Happy day to you~
I love the tags on the baskets BJ, and I think it's a great idea to be able to take them off when the fad is done. You get the fun now without ruining the baskets!
Thanks for the reminder on the mammograms...we should all have the button on our blogs.
The tags look great on your baskets. What a great idea. I laughed about Pottery Barn letting us know when the fad is over...I think they get their ideas from us! ;-D
XO,

Wonderful makeover! So french, fresh and upscale. And I love the basket idea with all the number tags.
Perfection!

Hi BJ,
Your book shelf turned out GREAT! and what a find....I never find things like that, you know the story a day late and a dollar short, yep that's me LOL:)
I'm liking the number thing too.. Gary's face resembles your MR. Sweet's every time I change something around...LOL..Men (got to love em)
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
Men will NEVER understand us women and how we think! hehe I just love the numbers everywhere...I didn't even know they were in style right now, I really need to get with it!!! I just love the tags you used on your baskets, I don't think they're too big at all. xoxo
OH, I think they are cute, BJ! Love your numbers. I like numbers AND letters. So I understand. Husbands never do. LOL!
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love the numbers. And these days, I have to have my cheaters on to see anything!
The bookcase is darling. Love it. You have wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
Love your tags with numbers, BJ! Your baskets and your shelving unit are fabulous. I think you are an EXCELLENT decorator, BJ. Have a great wknd!
Blessings, Beth
I love it, BJ!
That was a very clever and thrifty idea you came up with. :-)
Hugs,

Hi BJ this is an awesome project..I did some number projects over the summer. They are fun, and are versatile! Hey I will NOT be having the party this week, going away. However, save this for next week and you can link it up then:) Thanks so much BJ!!~
BJ, this looks terrific. You come up with the best ideas.
Nice work! You did great.
"when POTTERY BARN says this fad is done" LOL...and I can just picture your hubby's eye rolling...we all know it. I didn't even know about the numbers being in so thanks...I would hate to be uninformed....to have missed the fun. Your $10 shelf find is GREAT...much better to personalize your home than looking like a clone of a store.
BJ, you always make me smile. I love you, I love you. Let me count the ways. Ah, my love is endless.
Your numbers look fab. Mr. Sweet can consider the numbers as digits of love, and we all know he adores you.
Happy Pink Saturday, dear lady.
This looks fabulous...MEN just don't get it!
Oh, BJness! You're fantastic! I love your olden shelf with the baskets and the numbers look wonderful! You're great!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
i LOVE the number thing goin on right now! your shelf looks great!! love it...and 10 bucks?? holy cow!!
Oh, BJ! I'm just thrilled you would want to feature a picture from my house on your sidebar! Thank you so much!!
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
BINGO! You are always right there with the latest trends! I love your black piece, perfect. The numbers are popular this year.
I hope Mr. Sweet's eyes rolled back into place...lol! I love the number decor and I'd never seen it before. It's charming. I like your baskets much better than the CSN ones.
Mammogram checked up noted. Calling for appt.
You're the best,
Deanna :D
Loving what you did ~ Numbers are so Big, I hope they stay around, I just Love them..... Thanks for Sharing your Creation & Ideas

I love numbers and letters on things! Those tags look great and very easy to change when you get tired of numbers.
Manuela
What a clever idea, BJ. It's beautiful!...Christine
I like the idea of the numbers being temporary. I made some pillows with numbers for my porch rockers recently and my husband doesn't "get" why the numbers are there. I had to show him the PB photos and he's still scratching is head about them.
Love it ! I think it's hilarious how PB has become the "decorating be all/end all"... I find myself pouring over the catalogs as if they were magazines - lol !
thanks for sharing,

You are a hoot with your number fetish! In fact, it is wearing off on me. Today I was at Target and saw some white apothocary-type containers with numbers; however, they all had the no. 1 on them. You might want to check that out--but, don't have a hissy fit if your Target doesn't have them. Do have a good weekend though.
Best,
Bonnie
AWWWWWW, BJ! Thank you for letting my BOO Table visit your sidebar! You are a darling!

thanks for sharing your beauty...
