the lost socks.

November 21, 2009

I just went into my sisters room to look for a skirt to bring on my weekend adventure to Maine. YIKES. First of all, there was no WAY I was finding that skirt. Second of all, now I know where all my socks went. They are strewn all over the floor this way and that most definitely NOT with their twins!! Poor socks.
MEG: I love you, but stop stealing my socks!
I will spare you all from bad dreams and won’t post a picture here. I don’t know what your thoughts are on a messy room, but that one just sent chills up my spine.

Updated Living Room (hooray!)

November 4, 2009
So we’ve been living in a bare-walled living room ever since our old roommate Sarah moved on over to Beacon Hill and took the framed artwork that used to hang over our couch with her. For a month or so I debated whether to put up a gigantic mirror, or wall shelves. While the mirror was gorgeous, it was insanely heavy. SO we opted for the wall shelves. Last weekend, on my zipcar adventure to target, I found some shelves for $10.99! Excellent! I bought 3 longer shelves, and then found some shorter shelves for $5.99. What a steal.
Here’s some pictures of the final product. I’m super happy with it and I knew Meg and Lauren were too as soon as I saw the smiles on their faces. Woohoo!

Do you like it? Since I’m TOTALLY a picture person it gives us a chance to put some of the people we love up on the wall. It’s a good mix of each of our friends. I think it look fabulous!
(I would like to take this opportunity to thank Zan, for without his help the shelves would not be on the walls. They would either be 1.) still in the bags they came home in or 2.) in a pile on the floor with me attempting to mount them up. Yikes to #2. I can totally see it now and it’s not a pretty picture. SO THANKS ZAN! Thanks so much!)

pretty project at 31 temple street.

October 30, 2009
Last week I helped my friend Andrea redecorate her bedroom. Although my heart lies in teaching, my second life passion is and always has been (“I love my room, I love my room…”, anyone?) interior decorating. Andrea asked me to help her after she moved in so I guess she must like my style/trust my decorating skills (thank you, friend!). I’ve been excited about the project from the moment I saw her bedroom. It’s a tiny one, but it has TONS of potential. She picked out her bedding from anthropologie (a.mazing) and her furniture is all vintage (tried and true). Here’s the room, before and after. I arrived at 10 AM ready to whip this place into shape, and it only took us about 2 hours! It ended up looking so pretty, if I do say so myself. And it was fun too!
Before:

Not the prettiest room I’ve ever seen…. YET. So we worked on her room for about 2 hours, taking the bed apart and moving furniture around, and in the end we came up with this…

After:

Adorable, right?? I know the blinds are still busted, and we’re still waiting for curtains, wall shelves, and some artwork. But after all that stuff is in then it will be complete! I’ll post more pictures when the finishing touches are in!

Orla Kiely.

October 11, 2009

Don’t you just aDORE Orla Kiely? I DO. It’s so retro fabulous, I just love it all. So far my only Orla Kiely item is the wallet I got for my birthday last year. It’s the best. I just love looking online at her adorable bags. I hope to get one soon. Also, I heard they have Orla Kiely kitckenware at Target, but everytime I go I don’t seem to see any. AND it’s not on their website either. BOO. I think the mugs are great. Maybe I should just order some online. They would totally go with my pseudo vintage anthropologie kitchen. Not like I need anymore mugs or anything. But all the same, I want them. I’ve posted some of my favorite items below. Everything is just so adorable I can hardly stand it. JOY!
