technical difficulties

So, lately nothing seems to be working for me. That extends to my blog as well, unfortunately. I am currently working on a number of projects and I am really excited about sharing pics and even some tutorials, I just have to get it together! My hubby is graciously working on a blog/website for me. It'll still be sunshowers and rainshine one way or another. I'll keep you posted!

In the meantime, I wanted to show you guys this picture of Carrie's living room from the latest installment of Sex and the City. I am probably overly obsessed with dark/navy blue. The couch is great! I want something similar for the next place we move to. Since I am super cheap and very impatient I bought a 6 dollar sewing stand to paint navy and I bought some cute knobs from Anthro for it. Coming soon, I promise!

elle decor

Every month when my Elle Decor magazine arrives in the mail, I flip through excitedly just looking at the pictures. I save the articles and a more thorough inspection later when I have time. I do have a one year old afterall! Well, weeks later this is what I have discovered. Gold mirrors, gold frames, gold chairs...I've been on a gold kick for a while now, just haven't really incorporated it just yet. Also, dark walls, pops of yellow, vibrant flowers, eclectic art. I love seeing how the pros do it before I settle on a way to do it myself! I love the rug in the bottom picture as well. It sort of reminds me of an Anthropologie rug I probably won't be able to afford...its nice to dream about it though.

anyone who knows me...

...knows my style and tastes are all over the place. I got the issue of Elle Decor a while ago but I still come back to this apartment.

I love the hippy vibe, I love the art, I love the low profile of the room and the exposed beams. It looks like a fun place to hang out with friends.
