On My Mind....

Right now I am really focused! It's like my A.D.D. has officially left and I am ready to knock stuff off of the "To Do List!!" A lot of things on my list are organizing projects around my place, painting, that kind of stuff....

I made a promise to myself that every single day after work I will get rid of one thing off that list whether it be an errand to run, or something to do home...

So today it began with cleaning under the kitchen sink! Ew not fun, but here's how it went:

It started like this.... nasty!
Lincoln assisted and gave input from time to time.
And voila. A clean spot for a cleaning section.

The next thing on my mind actually is paint! I still want to be in the neutral lighter scale. but I can't decide if I want to be in the super pale blues or pale greys. So - We are here and I haven't elimnated a single swatch card yet.... If anyone has a tip for choosing a paint color - please do share!!

Anyway - I will keep you in the loop as more things get crossed off that list!

On my mind...

My parents were in town this whole week visiting from Miami and it was so nice to have them here. I don't know if I have ever mentioned... I am originally from Miami, FL. Anyway, they stay at a hotel around the corner from my apartment so its so easy.. But, now since they have left, I miss them. I just love that feeling of knowing they are near by. We had such a great time. Yes, I am 28 years old and I still get homesick.

I need a serious vacation. I am not talking about a 2 day event, and getting out of town. I need a week of doing absolutely whatever it is I want. Actually I need a little more than a week. Probably 3 days at home to do the things I need to get done.... and then once that is squared away.... get the F out of dodge.... Part of me would love to go to Bora Bora and sit on a beach and zone out, and then part of me wants to do the whole Africa/Safari adventure. Beggers can't be choosers -- I'd go to either.

Anyway.... my bathroom is not in the greatest shape, I am even too embarrassed to put a picture of it up. To be honest .... I don't get it. I live in a huge apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. Its an old building with only 6 units - lots of walk in closets, a foyer, separate dining room, large bay window in the living room - but the kitchen and bathroom -- WTF!! They just recently ripped out the nasty flooring in my kitchen and replaced with hardwood - which helped a lot, but now its time to find a bomb and explode my bathroom. But - in the meantime I am considering painting the walls a pretty charcoal and then doing this shower curtain below from Urban Outfitters with white and grey towels and rug and just keep it plain and clean.

On My Mind....

I've decided to start a new weekly post called, "On My Mind..." to kind of let it out on the table the few things design wise (or not design wise) that I am thinking about. So... here goes it.


1. I am dying to learn how to sew. There are so many projects I would love to do if i just knew how to use a sewing machine. Its quite frustrating. I can't really even sew a button properly.

2. I am in need of a rug for my living room and I am having the HARDEST time finding what I want in my price point. I am actually considering panting a sisal rug. Has anyone ever done this, or seen one. Does it look crafty? I do not like crafty looking projects. If anyone has feedback on this... lets discuss!

3. Last weekend I ended up going to a Psychic. It's a super long story and don't want to get into all of the details, but she said some things that have completely spooked me out. I can not get this lady out of my head. Have you ever seen a psychic? Did you believe what they said? Did you follow their advice? I honestly thought she was going to read my palm. I didn't expect her to know details of my life.
