Lately, I've been reading all kinds of blogs... mommy blogs, educational blogs, design blogs... and it seems like every two minutes I'm saying to Allison, "Hey, listen to this idea!" And, Allison (patiently listening to me explain) has usually already heard of the idea and has started doing something similar.
Anyway, looking at this picture from Allison's Ikea Hack post made me realize how sometimes Allison just *gets* stuff that would take me years to think of or figure out and then implement.
See the top shelf?
It has two pieces of pretty cool art on it, right?
Right. (You're supposed to agree with me there.)
The picture on the left is a piece we ordered from Etsy. The piece on the right is a picture that one of Allison's students drew for The Bean last year. When she put the shelves up last week, Allison found the picture, grabbed the frame from a pile of empties, cropped the picture, framed it, and added the finished product to the shelf (all while entertaining The Bean during my morning to sleep in).
I didn't even know we had half that stuff.
The student who drew the picture was a favorite of mine because she took a huge shine to The Bean last year, so I was ecstatic to walk in and discover her artwork displayed so nicely on his new shelf.
I might not *get* it, but I'm glad Allison does.
To be fair, Allison totally doesn't get electronics, but I'm an ace.
Is there anything your significant other seem to be able to do that you would just never think of?
