pretty things

Whenever I move to a new space
I can't help but to want to redecorate.
I do my best to keep my favorite pieces
and add new ones to make it feel like a fresh start.

This move is going to make redecorating a must
as the amount of space and how it's utilize require a lot
of forward thinking.

Everything needs to have drawers or be convertible.
We're buying a new couch so that we have an extra bed
when friends and family come to visit.
I've been searching for weeks and Brent and I finally settled on this one:


Yes, I know it's 1970's orange.
But we're moving into a WHITE WHITE WHITE apartment
and if i can't paint the walls, I want color in other places.
The couch folds flat to sleep two people.
I think it's the coolest couch this side of the 21st century.

Our bedroom will probably be the size of a walk-in closet.
I say that jokingly, but it's really not far from the truth.
Our beautiful dark wood sleighbed and dresser just won't fit,
so I recently purchased a darling, vintage headboard and mom is
letting us take my great grandfather's tall oak dresser.
I've picked out this bedding.
I know it's a little girlie,
but like I said before...we need color!
and nothing reminds me of an east coast springtime like cherry blossoms.


I'll have so much more to tell you guys next week.
Brent and I will arrive in San Francisco on May 1st.
We have so much to do while we are there and I'll be sure to take lots
of pictures of our new abode so that you can figure out
where you're going to put your suitcase when you come visit us ;)
