room revamp.

project #1:
DESK

so, luckily, i work in a world of inspiration and am able to get an overload of ideas on a constant basis.

so far, i have the starts of a new and improved desk that i'm hoping

will not only bring a wonderous GPA, but it will also get those creative juices flowing!

here's a taste for you:

one liners.

one of my new favorite things is this book called

one line a day: a five year memory book.

of course it's a brilliant product of chronicle books, and i totally adore it.

found on chronicle books.

i have always tried to be a diary-keeper, though it has never, ever been successful. we're not even talking about slacking off after a couple of months, weeks -- we're talking about days. i've always found it so high-pressure and i hate forcing myself to write, especially when there's pressure to have it be obnoxiously meaningful or something.

SO, this is the perfect book for me. incredibly portable, a great color, and lines that don't take much to fill. while it's not exactly "one line," it is a perfecctly brief amount of space for a witty sentence or two,

or just enough room for me to say that it was a pretty boring day. (which is perfectly okay!)

the book starts on January 1st, so in a perfect world, everyone would pick this book up on the 31st of December and we'd be a wonderfully journaling population. though, in reality -- not so much the case. since i was delayed and didn't get it until after the first of the year, i decided to start it on my 25h birthday, simply 26 days after the start of the year. the coolest part is to think about finishing it on my 30th birthday. so far i've kept it up, which is saying a lot...that's like, 7 weeks or something.

i would strongly recommend it to anyone who has attempted the whole diary thing before. it's amazing what two sentences can tell. and i honestly go throughout my days thinking to myself, "what am i going to write tonight? how will i sum this up?" it's a fun game to play.

maybe tonight i'll write about how i essentially just ate an entire jar of trader joe's sandwich pickles. eek.

put on your floaties.

times they are a-changin'.

ok. it's official. room cleanse 2010 has begun.

new duvet cover, new shams, new furniture.

so far, i'm incredibly inspired by yellow and grey, which i love.

and with yellow being my most favorite of colors, i'm excited to use it to bring joy and happiness into my room!

plus, after seeing that amazing chair at crate & barrel the other day (see previous post),

i have made the executive decision to add an aqua color into my mix.

fantastic. i'm loving it.

so now, mini-totally-random-insportation-board:

and of course the girls over at j.crew know what they're doing.

updates to follow, of course.
