ultimate home decor plan


I've been trying to figure out what to do with our apartment for a while now.  It keeps getting smaller and smaller and more and more crowded as our child and his things get larger and more spread out.  I need a big change, big, like a move.  But, since that isn't happening, I will just have to re-decorate.  This little image above is the notes of the inspiration behind the answer to this on going problem.  I was surprised to have my living situation frustrations put to ease after being very late to church, but grateful that it came at all.  

I realized that rather than decorating our living space with things we think are cool and comfortable, why not let it be an extension of the beauty around us.  Since we don't live around the kind of beauty we wish we lived around then we must decorate our home like it.  So, here it is, my plan to make my home reflect the mountains and the country that we wished we lived in.  (Click to enlarge if you are really interested otherwise, just stay tuned for posts about the progress.)

(And if I wanted to live by the ocean, I'd probably work in some shells or other oceanscape colors and patters and pictures on the wall OR if I wanted to live in India, I'd get vibrant fabrics and some shimmery beads to embellish them with and add tons of decorative, bright, colorful cushions everywhere... you get the idea)

*  First things: declutter and clean floors, find a new and better place for baby's toys - done!

*  This is going to be good, really good...  

//  Next up:  choose and order main photos for wall.

fun on a motorcycle


While my family was in town last week, we all decided to visit the Kiehl's flagship store on the evening of this event with the Sartorialist.  We entertained ourselves by sitting for their new photobooth.  It was fun, especially for Zack since he loves to show off his boy and introduce him to the cool things of the world - motorcycles and photobooths, to name a few.

* btw, Kiehl's has some awesome new products for Father's Day gifts.

packing up, moving it out


I wish I was moving somewhere, but we're not, yet.  A while ago we decide rather than getting a bigger apartment, we'd just get a small storage unit.  It has been much cheaper and very helpful!  Here are 10 bins before, and 10 bins after.  We don't have a luxury home but now we have sanity and order of one, at least.
