Brooklyn

I'm in NY right now for a few short days to catch up with friends and family. I've also been having a creative block these past few weeks, so a trip is always a great way to get the juices flowing. The creative energy in NY is soooo special and wonderful. I only realize that now. It's crazy how we can take things like that for granted.

Well, I'm off to bed! I walked all day....over the Williamsburg bridge, through the L.E.S., into Chinatown, back over the bridge, and then to Greenpoint where I'm staying with my friends Stella and Matthew. Got to see my wonderful friends Jenny, Erin, Aya, and Deborah, as well!

Hehe, it's pretty funny to see that almost all of my friends have a website :-D

Boudoir/Dressing room inspiration

Yay! I found some great dressing room inspiration pictures. We have a teeny 6' x 12' spare room that we currently use as our "junk" room. Whenever we can't find a place for something, we put it there. Or we end up storing our bikes in it. It's a really bad habit! My super sweet bf has agreed to let me use the extra room as my walk in closet ;-D (Really buttering him up right now...)

Truth be told, my clothing could be organized a lot better. Right now I have clothes in different closets all over the house because we don't have enough storage space. For example, my shoes are in the kitchen, winter shoes are in the basement, my dresses are in an armoire in the "junk" room, and my t-shirts, jeans, and sleeping stuff is in the bedroom. Yikes!

Here are some great pictures I found online.

This one looks about the size of our room, so it's probably the most realistic.

Ahh so pretty. I love Victorian style things...

This room is huge! I like the floor to ceiling shoe rack.

Oh just threw this in there for fun. I have a weakness for ceiling medallions.

I hope I can get motivated to do this! I find I'm really slow when it comes to doing anything with the house. I guess it's because I'm so used to renting and it's hard to think past painting the walls...eeep!
