Good thing blogs don't have feelings. Mine would've punched me out by now for sure.

Disappearing act #9032909002022.


Instagram junkie... instagram photo dump:

IDS12 for me can be summed up in 1 word: "MEH". Except for these Elte rugs. Yum.

and these chairs upholstered in kilim. Died. Dead.

Designing a window display for a school project. COOLEST. That there be some outfit ideas for the window mannequins. I wish for the male to look like Chuck Bass. Slap me.

I know I said I give up on plants but I bought an orchid. It is doing suspiciously well. I pray for it daily. (I painted the pot. I'm fancy)

OH! YEAH!
After many battles with Murphys law I fiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally framed and hung the Vogue covers. Bow before it.

15 ended up being too many and unnecessary. 12 is a good number.



Over and out

The grind

The holidays ended and on our drive back to the city I took photos of (one of) my dream homes



A FARM. Minus the work. Mostly just the middle-of-nowhere and the beauty and animals. Minus the work. (I am still ironing out the details on this dream...)


Then I began my mini project I spoke about back in August. (Yeah, things are slow around here)

I ran (not walked) to Ikea when I heard about their 50% frames sale. I grabbed 15 Nyttja frames because I like the thickness of the frames and mostlybecausetheyarethecheapest. Then I started spraypainting them gold. and then I ran out of paint just before finishing.
I am going to restock on gold paint this weekend and fingers crossed... hang them.


and then this little 1950s leopard arrived in my mailbox from etsy seller kissavintagedesign

I could not be more thrilled with myself for spending money on a porcelain leopard. It makes me smile.

Twenty Twelve

I wish my new years eve looked like this:

Instead I was wearing forest green rain boots and an oversized knit. But.. homemade white sangria happened. Delicious. Cozy night in... and some burgers.


Boxing day sales sucked a donkey butt as usual but I did manage to pick up some really great ornaments for next years tree. Vintage and new. Red and gold... classic. I haven't had my own tree yet!


I hope in 2012 I see stuff like this

chairs

bright

giant red lanterns

rattan ottomans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





velvet ikat!!!!!

Vacations are great but I'm anxious to get back into some work.
