So now that I'm an old married lady, ;) I have started to concentrate on making an honest effort to really fix up our tiny (but stylish!) apartment. I do love putting together rooms... and often think less is SO much more. I try my hardest to put a limit on clutter (with the exception of my one very messy craft closet) and put an emphasis things that we really love, i.e. photos, plants, cooking etc. With thanksgiving right around the corner and a growing number of out-of-town guests on their way to Eugene... I'm excited to clean and get the place looking spiffy. I've started on the opposite wall from the front door and I'm making a clean sweep of all closets, cabinets, and under-the-bed hiding places. Nothing has felt better in weeks... just looking at my sweaters in a neat, color-coordinated stack makes me smile. Is that dorky? But honestly, I love finding new things to inspire my inner design maven (she lives in all of us, you just have to find her). My latest being this beautiful orange blog shared with me by one of my best gal pals. It's just one picture after another of drool-worthy design ideas, and not just for the home. Sparks will definitely fly as you browse. For instance, not that I'll need a nursery any time soon... but when I'm lucky enough to have a sweet little one on the way, this is the nursery that would be on the top of my wish list. 
Note the chalkboard border... what little one would not love that! Here's a few other rooms that I flipped for...
I really dig bits of yellow in a room... yellow has a good energy to it. I have some old yellow wooden letters found in a NC outerbanks antique store that spell out "SUN Y" missing a "N" but I love it all the same.
Ah! what a perfect skirt for the tree... found at FLOR. Very cute idea. That's it from me... have fun browsing her site! signed, me {ca}
