Cat of the Week: 29th August

Our cat of the week this week is Mila, the exotic shorthair. A Garfield look a like, Mila may be the cutest thing wide eyed beast I have ever seen. I know I say this each week and each week its true. This cat is purrfect. There Tumblr is just a steady stream of beautiful pictures, showing a cat that seems full of character and charm. I remember Belafonte being like this when we got him, then we brought home Lavender and he settled into a world of sleeping and eating. Maybe its a girl thing. I can just image the trouble Mila and Lavender would get up to. Too cute.

Letting Sleeping Cats Lie

Our Apartment; The Dining Room

The dining room was the first room decorated. We decided on a dark slate color and a light grey for the walls, and switched the lighter color from the bottom half to the top. I wanted a room that mixed minimalism with thrift store finds. Again, thanks to Ikea, Salvation Army and a host of other second hand stores in Ann Arbor, we were able to do this all for a couple of hundred bucks. 

We brought the table top and the legs from Ikea. Buying them separate is a much cheaper option that buying a complete table. The chairs were purchased from a couple of different thrift stores in Ann Arbor, as was the mirror. 

The art work was our attempt at the crayon paintings you find on Pinterest. Rather than just lining them up and allowing them to trickle down the canvas, we used a hairdryer and just made pretty patterns with the crayons. 

The cabinet is the White PS Locker from Ikea. We got the lamp from another thrift store while the little bunch of flowers are dried from our wedding day. 

The room has become a really nice space to relax in, whether it be for dinner or when Mary Soo needs to spread her books out during a study session. 

Cat Photos. This is a cat blog after all.

So since getting the cat's they have pretty much become our life. Emsu has started a Instagram while I took to tumbler (a effort to avoid becoming that person on facebook that gushes about their cats constantly).

I'll still looking for a project to do with them, such as Belafonte eats...Cake, sausage etc,  but for the time being here are some of my favorite pictures of the two previously seen on Tumblr.
