Robin's Egg Blue

Via Delight By Design

This color just makes me absolutely blissfully happy.

Been watching "Design on a Dime"

Spoiler: This entry is a somewhat hodge-podgey collection of thoughts and ideas

Why is it that I always feel so inspired when my budget for redecorating / designing my own living space is virtually nothing? Even those creative DIY projects require some kind of funding... (not to mention an outdoor location to spray paint on).

I love these light fixtures.

Instead... my "To-Do" list for today has nothing fun or creative on it.

(Note: This practice is what's keeping me sane -- Writing a To-Do list everyday. I just LOVE crossing things off as I go.)

To Do

--Get rid of Bethany's stuff in the back of my "new" car/ Clean-Out center console

--Get Car Insurance

--Get a Safety Inspection

--Go to the DMV

--Call My Grandaddy

--Go to the Bank

--Go to Ikea for a desk and more storage baskets.. maybe a side table and barstools? 

--Figure out how to be unemployed (financially and emotionally)

--Keep a Positive Attitude about the "Job Search"

Wish List

Again & Again Consignment Store

Accent Chairs would really complete the "living-room" in our apartment.

But definitely not priority.

These things are higher on my list.

A small (VERY small) dinette or cafe table.

And a desk with LOTS of storage. (Unfortunately, not at all like this REALLY cute one from Palacek)

Maybe I can still get away with just buy LOTS of these little desktop storage boxes from Ikea.

I already need to go up to Ikea for more of these little guys.

Random PIle of Inspiration

I'm kinda feelin' like the blue thing is sticking.

Love these colors. via Design*Sponge

sofa problem

I've tried to dress up our sofas by draping pieces of cloth, rugs, etc. over them.. I'm just not sure to achieve this more put-together look (via Design*Sponge) I think we need more toss pillows.

Bathrooms and Kitchens

If Daniel had a dream kitchen... this would be it.

I wish I had the discipline to keep things this simple

Just another thing I'm going to miss

H & M

(I bought this skirt in black last night.. as well as 1/2 a dozen other things.)

Moving to Dallas in 2 days.

Lately I've been doing lots of reflecting on the many reasons I will miss living in Orange County. However, June Gloom is making the So. Cal weather a little bit easier to leave.

I couldn't be more excited for this monumental change.
