Such a simple, yet versatile bookcase has been found in almost every home. Coming in all colors and sizes, you can customize it how you want, like I did with my curtain project a couple months ago.
So happy birthday Billy! Hope it’s a great one!
I know, I know. It’s been a few week’s since I’ve been around. I’m sure you’ve really missed me. ;) I went on vacation and ended up staying in some pretty uncomfortable beds. Me and hotel beds do not get along. Unless the hotel costs more than 150$ a night, the beds are just.. ick! They are either too hard or you get this creepy feeling that there are BUGS in the bed.
That thought, married with the thought that in a few weeks I’ll be sleeping in more since I’m getting laid off, means bedrooms are on my mind. Big time. And when I came across this bedroom from Amanda Kyser’s cottage in New York, I was gasping. It’s gorgeous. Calm, classic, modern, clean. Everything I want. Heck, I even showed it to the boyfriend and HE liked it! We never agree 100% on something!
The bedroom color is pretty darned close to what I have in my room now, and I love the combination with the yellow-brown — perfection!
What do you think? Not your style? That’s okay! What is your style then?
Now, the point of this post is not to talk about the new branding. Though, it’s really quite bad. But good for us Northern Virginia designers — we just learned today that we are all going to be axed by Q1 next year! Luckily, there is a package out that allows us to take a 3 month severance, instead of await our fates..
Point of this is to basically say, I am taking said severance, and may have more time on my hands for awhile. I’d really like to try contracting with some freelance on the side, but we will see. I just wanted to let all my readers out there know that things may pick up or die down a bit, depending on how busy I get. Or you know, if I decide to take a month off and just sleep.
This also means that DIY projects might come to a halt due to money, or may increase due to extra time. I guess we’ll see! Either way, wish me luck!
Succulents in a dish, originally uploaded by justalittlebitnet.
I have always loved the modern, bold look of succulents. Every time I am in a nursery or the garden section of Home Depot, I am drawn to their liquidy leaves and soft colors. This tray idea from Apartment Therapy may have inspired me to create a centerpiece of my own for my coffee table.
I just wonder if the cat will eat them while I’m at work. Hm..
What are your favorite flowers/plants? Other than succulents, I love orchids, but cannot keep them alive to save my life!

I love this sideboard display. The wall color, the print, the matching lamps. It’s all just perfect, really. I can’t wait to one day have room to have little displays like this around my home.
What is one thing you dream of having in your home? It could be something simple like a set up like this, or maybe a top floor room with tons of light and walls of books. What’s your idea of perfect?
