Cleaning day

Today was a cleaning day. I tackled the guest room/office and was finally able to get things to look tolerable. Ha. Still have things to do in there but I feel like I can finally create things and be inspired. So good.

In the process of cleaning, I found this shirt. 

Glory days.

 Carrying on, I hung up some favorite pictures simply above the desk. I love looking at them and being reminded of their memories.

And in the kitchen, there are some new thrifted finds.

Office shtuff

Today was a good day. You know those days, nothing particularly great happens but you just feel it? Those days when the weather is divine, you get something you were waiting for in the mail (my Stickygram package!), thinking of my birthday next week, Husband opening an envelope that increased our income, me getting a raise, my bowl of chalk sticks in a bowl that I'm so oddly fond of, OCD organization, perhaps even the intense caffeine high I experienced at work. Shot party anyone? =) Espresso shots, that is. It was just good. I'm discovering that if you choose to be happy, really choose, then most likely you will be and your attitude will change. Such a simple and profound idea. Besides, Debbie downers aren't any fun.

We're in the process of redoing our guest room. It's transitioning from our house catchall to our home office. You know, for all the office stuff I do every day. Sitting at this desk makes me want to wear this suit to the office. But alas...

Here are a few diddies from the design board that's being created in my head:
