"the holiday" inspired tent

If you've seen The Holiday, you know what I'm talking about.  In the movie, Jude Law has created this awe inspiring tent for his daughters that would be any little girl's dream.  I used to have one of those bed tents that you attach to your mattress and my brother I would sleep in there... we thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I can just imagine if I'd had this, I never would have come out!

I recently came across this image as well... an adult version???  I have to have it!

Not a thing in this house looks like it goes with anything else, that's why I love it!

Beautiful, enormous lanterns!



the return to a normal life

I'm usually a firm believer in resolutions on a day to day basis - if you need to make a change, just do it!  Why wait for a new year?  However, this year is a bit different for me.  I've just finished up design school which means no more time consuming projects and I'm ready to reclaim my life!  Here are just a couple of things I finally have time to work toward in 2011.

Catch up on my reading.  I started reading The Time Traveler's Wife, not this past summer, but the one before that... and still haven't finished it!  It's time to get back on track.

Organize my life.  There are so many small projects I've been wanting to do around the apartment... paint my coffee table white, go through the 10' tall stack of magazines I haven't had time to look at, get new counter stools (that are actually comfortable), etc.  It's time to start moving on these!

Plan the wedding of my dreams (since it's now only 5 months away!).  I have most of the bigger pieces checked off my list, but it's time to work on the details.

Good luck with all of your resolutions!
