You Make Me Feel Like Dancing...

This is one is for my girls...I love you guys.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing from the always fantastic Castle.

I thought that I would be able to blog through this week, but this whole moving/leaving everyone process has been a little more challenging than I had prepared myself for. 

Hopefully I can post again once I get to Palm Springs...

See you in Cali...

It is time to get serious about my room in my parents house in Los Angeles, which will be my new home for a little while.  The room needs to suit my style, incorporate my sister's style since we will be sharing the room when whe comes home from college some weekends and holidays, and eventually act as a guest room for both of us and my grandparents in the long term.

I think you guys understand my style.  Luckily my sister shares some aspects, she likes black and white and bold graphics. She is also kinda into native american things right now, so I thought I would incorporate this into our inspiration board. 

When I started this I realized that many of the things that I've been blogging about lately work into this theme...very convienient.  I'm working on a board of finished rooms that embody this style too. 

So, what do you think?  Any inspiration images come to mind?

Palm Springs Suggestions?

The day after I get to LA, we are taking a trip to Palm Springs...which I am super psyched about.  This trip has been on my to do list for several years...

I'm looking for suggestions on things to do/see and place to shop while we were there.

I'll be following Domino's Destination Palm Springs Guide, Design*Sponge's City Guide , and Kelli's Guide to Palm Springs {Thanks Kelli!}...

Anything I should be sure not to miss?

Another Fantastic Sofa Option: The Nook

Pedlars = Awesome

I should do a word count on the number times I use the word awesome on this blog.  I say it a lot in real life too.  In fact, I talk pretty much just like I write, short and to the point...except sometimes I get off track and mumble on and on...um anyway.

This store Pedlars is awesome.  These vintage yellow warehouse lights are awesome, that turquoise bakelite thermometer is awesome, those canteen utility chairs are awesome, and so is this sleeping bag.


If I ever won the lottery I would clean this place out.

Found thanks to the awesome Black Eiffel.

I MUST REMEMBER THIS

The last couple of weeks have been stressful.  Work is insanely busy, and moving your life across the country is a bit challenging and time consuming to get all the arrangements made and things packed...to say the least.

But I don't want my last few weeks in NOLA to be stressfull, I want to enjoy it.  So I will do my best to remember this sentiment.

Found thanks to Yes, Please Design.
