Remember that Apartment Therapy House Call I did a while ago? I forgot to tell you something kind of cool about the photo above.

The little votive shelves in the hallway are handmade. I went to a hardware store and bought some flat metal plates (I think they were mini circuit boards? Not sure.), and some metal L-brackets with holes for screws. I glued them together with epoxy, let them dry overnight, and screwed them into the wall.

Because we live in earthquake country, I affixed the Ikea votives to my mini-shelves with double-sided foam poster tape. All together though, each shelf, including the votive, only cost me about 90 cents.

We took them down recently, because hard metal edges and low flame aren’t particularly toddler friendly, but I loved them while we had them. They were gorgeous all lit up.

My lord, I love Target. I just did a post for them on all the affordable little black dresses they have on offer. A couple of them have sold out since I posted, but here are three of my favorites that are still available:

Neck Pleat Dress

Flocked Strapless Dress

Embroidered Lace Dress

A small collection of fascinating, non-threatening fetish photos. It’s a metaphor for interactions everywhere online, where you can know a few incredibly intimate things about someone, and absolutely nothing else.

One man’s “huh?” is another man’s “ohhh.”
