a color maven

I happened upon the loveliest little blog yesterday. While I love her necklaces, Kristina Klarin's photos + color schemes are simply GORGEOUS. Her knack for color could be a great tool for selecting paints & a color scheme. And even if you aren't painting a room any time soon, it's a lovely little place to visit. 

lemony fresh

stumbled upon this little dream of a room over @ knack. old ceiling tiles turned wall art using a few lovely shades of yellow. i think i may have just developed a craving for a lemon bar....

organized!

after reading about the johnson's and their lack of waste & excess, i got inspired to tackle my own closet. do i really need everything it contains? do i even wear half of what it contains? i went thru, sorted every article; figured out what i wear, what i don't & why. turns out i was lacking a few basics, and i needed to part with more than a few things. took my unwanted items into a resale shop & got a little cash. 


i then took said cash & bought what i was missing. low and behold, i have a fully functional wardrobe. i can now wear things that have been on hangers for years. literally. 


and so i am going to highly recommend starting the new year off right, sorting, eliminating & acquiring (only the few things you are needing of course). cheers!
