clean house, clean mind.


Today was spring cleaning unlike ever before. Momma came into town, and not only cleaned my house like no other, but had the genius idea to move things around. I was so thankful for her burst of inspiration as I too wasn't feeling content with the lay out of things, and was further spurred by reading the latest Lonny yesterday. So within a few hours my mostly unused dining room is my brand new study/art studio! By moving my dining table into my extra large living room, the two rooms instantly breathed a huge sigh of relief. So now my living room is pristine, white and uncluttered, and my little study is, well me. Filled to the brim and overflowing with color. Although I wish there were a few pieces of furniture I would chuck, and some I would love to buy, seeing as I hope to be in NYC in 6 months, and I'm assuming in a place half this size if I'm lucky, it doesn't make much sense to bring in more things, so what I have will have to do. Isn't it funny though that sometimes a fresh eye is all it takes to re-appreciate everything you have?

Here are a few inspiration pages from the newest issue of Lonny-



Love the color palette (and the Marilyns! Someday, someday)


Ahh the turquoise, and that side table! Reminds me of DIANI...


The books! The Zebra skin! I wish I was audacious enough to use black..


Love how homey this feels. Love the mix of textiles, although I would love to see a few modern touches..
