House Tour: Part V

I spent part of Saturday tidying up my house because it has become a pit of wedding preparation. I decided I would focus on my bedroom so that I could post the pics AND run away from the clutter that is all around. Not that I don't LOVE the clutter. I do. It's so fun to have 20 projects on the go all at once. Just...busy and messy.

Anyways, here's my room.

And my giant green dresser/credenza from Goodwill. And on the right a giant "a" scored by Natasha's sister and passed along to me. Oh, and a little ceramic bust of a composer on the bed side table.

My styrofoam and fabric upholstered head board, little library drawers, and my Anthro knock-off bed spread from Target.

 This is the view from the bed, into the laundry area that leads to the bathroom. And the chair that me and my mom recovered.

And my jewelery catch-all and little moss terrarium.

And on the other side of the door, my letterpress drawer from my sis, a chalkboard I made out of a thrifted frame, and more jewelery stuff.

And...the finale...MY SUPER ORGANIZED CLOSET. And it OFTEN looks almost this clean. I am pretty stoked about it.

Wedding Guest of the Week Pt. IV

Lisa, who has asked to be referred to as the wedding guest of the millennium, is a friend of mine from university. We spent hours locked in the newspaper office together drinking fruit and veggie juice and eating subway sandwiches...oh, and putting together the paper. And bonding with Joel. Me a little more than her.

The picture of us here is from a trip Lisa and I took to Montreal where we had tons o' fun doing parkour all over the city. So much fun that when people ask me what I did in Montreal, I can't really remember anything except for the parkour. And the poutine I guess. GREAT DAY.

Here are her answers:
