Since I’m not going anywhere for the long weekend, I’ve been perusing some of my favorite magazines and catalogs for inspiration on projects I can do at home.

TheContinue reading “inspiration for planning new projects”

bedroom inspiration
I am still trying to get my life in order. (How long can I use moving as an excuse?) It feels like I’ll be catching up for weeks. My new neighborhood is delightful, as is my new premium cable. But I’m getting a little tired of stepping through boxes in the living room. (#Fatcat, however,Continue reading “bedroom inspiration”
apartment ideas
Moving plans are trucking along. I have juuust barely started packing and I’ve gotten rid of some things I don’t want to move. But mostly I’ve daydreamed about what to do in my new space.

Right now I have a smallContinue reading “characters’ christmas trees”

I’ve met five of them: Death, Desire, Delirium, Despair, and Destiny. Destiny is the oldest, and he seems like a little bit of aContinue reading “what would death wear”
saga: white outfit inspiration
I just read a graphic novel for the first time. It’s called Saga, vol. 1, by Brian K. Vaughan. It was cool! Ever the speed reader, I had to remind myself to not just read the text, but to really take a look at the images. It’s kind of a love, adventure, space travel, warContinue reading “saga: white outfit inspiration”
twin peaks
Have you seen Twin Peaks? I’m obsessed. I started watching it over the weekend, and eight episodes later I came up for air. The show follows the investigation of the death of Laura Palmer in the town of Twin Peaks, Wash. It’s super strange and super quirky and super gorgeous. The set and costume designContinue reading “twin peaks”
