January Project: Living Room Makeover
January is going to be the month where I redo my living room! I found a new TV stand and computer desk I want, I think that's what kicked me into gear. Plus, I found this great photo on Pinterest that really sparked my brain.
I think I found my color palette as I was doing this. I really like the combination of the avacado-lime green, grapefruit pink, and vintage sky blue. Yes? Yes. It's so refreshing! I like dark furniture and like every other apartment my walls and carpet are neutral so I think the colors will definitely pop.
I think my goal is to do the living room in a bargin hunting way. (Who doesn't have that goal?) But I really want to find some great accessories at some antique thrift stores.
Good storage solutions will be a must as well. My crap right now is just a huge hodge-podge of craft supplies, papers (papers...and more papers...), and cords. I am coming to terms with my OCD-ness of things not looking aesthetically please. I hate when things look like a big pile of junk. I want my place to not look like a college dorm room. Must find attractive ways to display things.
Alright, I have my inspiration and my goals. Now all I need is to spend some time at work making a paycheck...or two...or three.
Ready. Set. Go!

HappyThankYouMorePlease
How many of you are How I Met Your Mother fans? I'm sure a good number of you are. Did you know the actor that plays Ted Mosby has also written and directed a movie? It's called HappyThankYouMorePlease.
It's a feel good movie about trying to figure life out and find what's meant to be along the way. There's a line in the movie that stuck out to me:
"Sadness be gone, let’s be people who deserve to be loved, who are worthy, cause we are worthy."How true is that? And not just in the sense of find the love of your life, but allowing yourself to be loved by your friends, your family, and more importantly- yourself.
If you haven't seen it, you should.

Design Inspiration: Branding 10,000 Lakes
Have you seen the Branding 10,000 Lakes project?
Nicole Meyer is branding all the lakes in Minnesota. It is going to take a bit over 27 years to complete them all!
I anxiously wait for Lake Bemidji to be done.
Color Me Happy: Days 1 & 2
I'm back to tackling color palettes again! I'm going to try and see how far I can get into the year before I get sick of them. Maybe I'll be able to make 365 of them...Maybe...
Hope everybody had a great New Years!
