on LITTLE CHANGES, BIG IMPACT: The Chair Edition



This is the story of a chair. No, I'm totally kidding. Except, yes it is. Here's the deal: I got that gorgeous desk from craigslist awhile ago, maybe like six months. Twas my dream desk, twas free, and twas perfect. Due to this amazingness, I seemed to have missed one important aspect of having a desk.. using it. So while she became a great holder of books, and collector of important receipts, that was about it.

Enter in many changes made in my apartment as of late. Mama just about got on a nesting kick over here. And by nesting, I mean craigslist. And by craigslist, I mean holy crap I have a problem incredible gift for using craigslist.

It's interesting how a very small change can have a massive impact in your life. The night I got the chair home, and sat in it, well my whole world just about changed. I work at my desk now, in my desk chair, and it still gives me a thrill each time. Stay tuned for other updates on the little big changes around here. I know these are the exciting posts that keep you coming back for more. Oh, I know. I know indeed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to go sit in my chair, after which, I shall look at my chair. Busy night.

on DON'T IT MAKE MY BROWN EYES BLUE

Sometimes it's good to have the blues. When they're really, really pretty designs for your home, that is.
Check out my latest post for Viesso, with some seriously inspiring rooms (& shades!) of blue.

ON a home away from home

when i'm traveling and looking at places to stay, it's imperative that the design speak to me.
most people go with budget, location, size, etc. for me? all about the energy/look of the space.
the first time i walked through the door, it felt like i lived here. which, when you're traveling, is the absolute best feeling to have. a little home away from home to create, learn, dream & play in :)

in related news: can you handle how much sunshine exists here?!
it felt impossible to get any pictures that weren't full of light. LA, i love your sunlight!
i can't wait to have my real camera back in my life, in the meantime, iphone it is!

On Re-Framing It

Once upon a Tuesday night, I took this old framed painting (found at the antiques garage)...
... and turned it into this!
i am quite delighted by it and get really giddy every time i see it.
which, for my little apartment, is quite often. including every time i wake up :)
it's messy and imperfect and that feels absolutely right.
the words are the title (& lyrics) of what has become by theme song for 2012: 'take your time (coming home)' by fun.

take your time coming home/hear the wheels as they roll/let your lungs fill up with smoke/forgive everyone

i especially love the bridge of the song and am working on making a project around it:
now i'm not scared of the songs or the states or the stages/
i'm not scared, i got friends, took my call, came courageous/
now i feel like i am home.

project inspired by something spotted on a beautiful mess
