Upcoming Event: DC Big Flea Market
Enter the D.C. Big Flea Market in Chantilly. Held at the Dulles Expo Center, only 10 minutes from the airport, the D.C. Big Flea Market apparently happens four times a year. Admission is only $8 and is good for both days. With an array of furniture, decor, rugs, and more, the D.C. Big Flea should not disappoint. I am planning on attending, and urge anyone else to take a Saturday or Sunday and go explore. I will be sure to have a report the following week from the event.
If you want more information regarding it, you can Google ‘D.C. Flea Market Chantilly,’ and you’ll be sure to get a couple reviews, directions and more.
See you there!!
It’s Time to Go!
Hold your horses! Moving day has come! Kira has this covered from her perch, that is, until I shove her in her carrier and toss her in the moving truck. I joke, I joke — she just gets thrown in the back of the moving truck, no carrier. After all, someone has to watch the fragile boxes! ;)
With moving day comes lack of connectivity. What will I do!? Oh right, I have 15 boxes to unpack, walls to paint, things to organize and furniture to rearrange 20 times in 6 hours. Anyway, Just a Little Bit will be experiencing a bit of a hiatus for the next week or so, and I promise, once I get set up at the new place, I’m going to go back to actually posting more than once a week.
A question for all of you out there — what challenges do you face with moving? Organizing? Those mystery boxes at the end? Perhaps all of the things you have to juggle? Me for example, I have yet to confirm my rental truck and I move on Saturday. Eeep! So, what’s on your moving-mind?
See you in September!
Slow Movin’
Anyway, my apartment is an utter mess, smells like paint still from painting my green walls ugly ‘Bone White’ last weekend (and we have more to do…) and I’m just frazzled. All I’ve had the energy to do is sit in front of the television and veg, and sleep, sleep, sleep! I am also tending wounds from a spaz-attack from Kira, leaving the palm of my right hand tore open and my chest with a deep wound. Ow!
Enough blabbing — I have a question for you all out there on the interwebs. Where is a good place to get a certificate in Interior Design? I am interested in pursuing it on the side to see if it’s a fit for me, but because I was screwed out of so much money at my last school for a dinky degree in Web Design, I am being careful with my funds. I am located in Northern Virginia, and am probably going to look at some of the local schools in the area — but do you know of any online programs that are creditable?
I’d love to hear what you think of this. I feel like I want to pursue something that I’m passionate about, and honestly, I was sort of pushed into web design by my advisor at my last school.. What are your thoughts?
Check back later this week/weekend, and I’ll have a post worth reading up here. ;)

Have a fantastic weekend, I’ll be back this week with a not so pleasant review of one paint company… *grumble*
Wowie!
When I submitted my lamp DIY to YoungHouseLove a couple months back, I just wanted to share a cool thing I did with a larger audience. Having forgot about it, I continued blogging, taking my blog from a personal blog to a more design focused blog. But when I signed in today to check stats and work on another post, I was suprised when I saw 800.. wait, refresh.. 900… refresh… 1200?! Refresh 2200?!?!! Twenty two hundred hits while I was in a work meeting. Wowzers!
Last week I won an iMac and thought that having 300+ hits on the site in one day was a lot. Pfft. That ain’t nothin’! So a thank you to John and Sherry over at YoungHouseLove — I absolutely love your site and you are truly an inspiration! Keep it up, and thanks for sharing the love!
I just wish I was a little bit more prepared.. This site is lacking in style, and please, anyone who reads this, take it from my own apartment, where I am packing and painting, sorting and purging — it has no style either right now. Keep with me, because I am moving at the end of August and will have a new, much better space to share with you and work on. I’ll be starting from scratch — no more green paint, better lighting, BIGGER kitchen. (Seriously, there’s a reason I have not shown anyone that, it’s horribly tiny.) To give you an impression, here is my old floorplan vs. my soon to be new floorplan:
In turn, I am getting a better laid out kitchen that actually has storage space, and a nice big bathroom! I have less closets, but I think I can make it work. The kitchen and bathroom alone (plus the washer and dryer!) are worth the price hike I had to take to move to a new, better location.
