Living Room Update and Polyvore

This morning I stumbled across this fantastic website polyvore.com. It allows you to create legit and stylish fashion and decor mood boards. I have been doing this for school in photoshop, but let me tell ya, this is so much easier and fun! If you are watching your pennies like I am, then lock up your wallet before going to this site. Everything that you find to add to your stylish piece of work shows the price and and where to buy.

I decided to give polyvore a swing, and make a mood board for our living room, since it is due for an update. I keyed in my price range for each item and then made my selections. I can't wait to show Kris to see what he thinks.

Nothing Like a Good Cup of Coffee and Blog to Start the Day

One of my favorite parts of the day is my morning time. This is when I grab a cup of coffee, sit down at my computer, read the news and brush up on my daily blog reading. I can't think of any better way to start the day than to read and become inspired by the fact that there are other gals (and guys) out there that are head over heals over the same thing I am; design. What is even better is reading about those who are also schooling and working in the design world. This morning I was dazzled by a new blog: "Alice Lane Design Explored". When I headed over to the "About Jessica" ( who is actually the designer and owner of Alice Lane) I fell in love! This girl has a great story (and it is creatively written might I add). Talk about inspiring, she almost has me wanting to wander over from commercial design to residential (almost). So if you do the same thing I do every morning, start your day off on a great foot and read Jessica's inspiring story and blog.
