H&M is one of my favorite brands for classic, never-go-out-of-style pieces that I can wear (literally) for years. Take this denim jacket, for example:<br />

I've had it for probably 4 years and I still wear it all the time. I'm so in love- it goes with everything, transitions from Spring to Fall easily.<br />
<br />
Well, last month I was doing a search for linen bedding and came across <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/department/HOME" target="_blank">H&M's Home collection</a>. How did I miss this? I have no idea, but I am <i>totally in love</i> with everything right now. The collection is very H&M- lots of style without the high-style prices. This home line is a lot of fun, with simple designs with modern touches that will fit into any lifestyle and budget. They have also created a section of designs in their sustainable collection, mostly made of cotton and linen, which is very cool in my book.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite items from the online shop.<br />

It's been a REALLY long time since I posted something awesome on this blog. But never fear, I've been a busy bee and have lots of really fun things to show you guys in the next couple of weeks!<br />
<br />
First of all, a life update.<br />
<br />
If you didn't know, I started going to school in May at <a href="http://www.harrington.edu/" target="_blank">Harrington College of Design</a> and I have been loving every single minute of it (even the feel-like-i'm-going-to-pull-out-my-hair-and-lose-all-my-teeth moments :P). If you're thinking about going into Interior Design and live in Chicago, I'll tell you it's absolutely the best school. All of the teachers are amazing, have real experience in the field and the connections and reputation that HCD has are awesome.<br />
<br />
Okay, I made my little plug. Next up-<br />
<br />
In January I moved into a new apartment that makes lots of things in life a lot easier (transportation, school, etc.) I haven't done much with the space yet because, well, school has been taking over my life! I did take some time to fix up my bedroom though, so I wanted to show you guys a few photos of that.<br />
<br />
My biggest concern with this small room was that it didn't have a lot of light, but my most favorite thing was the tall ceilings. I am also sharing the room with my little girl, which is actually kind of fun (it's a sleepover pajama party EVERY night at our house!).<br />
<br />
I wanted to keep things light and neutral so that the room doesn't get too small. I left the warm gray on the walls because I just haven't had time to paint, but the plan for in between semesters this year is to paint those babies white.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />Now for the really fun stuff. I'm in the middle of helping a very dear friend fix up his apartment to be more functional. But functional is not fun, and he's still a young guy (IJ) so he needs to live somewhere FUN. He was asking for my help for months and I finally said okay, fine, if you want my help, we're going RIGHT NOW (there was a little more coercion than that but we'll keep the story friendly, haha)<br />
<br />
His previous house had a ton of light and lots of plants, and he's lived in really incredible places his entire life (think high rise over looking the ocean in Brazil!). This is definitely the smallest apartment he's been in, but the main living area is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows. So the main goal is to make the place more functional (a place to eat dinner, adding to storage & minimizing clutter) but also to create a really cool space for him to feel at home. <br />
<br />
The concept was really based on 'talking pieces', things that can stand individually as really intriguing objects, but also work really well together to create a welcoming, bright, fun modern space. I think he's going to be really happy with it!<br />
<br />
These are a couple photos of the space as it is now, and a few sketches of our plans. Everything will be done in 2 weeks, so stay tuned for the completed project! I can't wait to show you guys this place when it's done. <br />

<i>Shoe Store Concept for a class at school. Enjoy, would love to hear any thoughts.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Currently working on the concept for a shoe boutique that sells sustainably-made, high quality and high fashion shoes for women. </b><br />
<br />
Typically, 'high fashion <i>and</i> sustainability' brings to mind images of models walking down the runway in black plastic garbage bags, cut and stitched to look like evening gowns. This concept store is called TIYE (after the wise mother of the famously beautiful Nefertiti) and replaces that recycled-garbage bag look with stunning, completely unrivaled shoe designs using materials and production methods that are renewable and sustainable.<br />
<br />
TIYE's design concept is inspired by ancient Egypt as well as the natural beauty and fertility of the Nile River Valley. Materials that come to mind are sleek ebony, glittering limestone and gold, and translucent, glowing alabaster. <br />
<br />
The design of the store will also reflect the beauty in the practice of sustainable production while appealing to the most fashion-conscious clientele. Three-step, continuously flowing fountains using collected and filtered water from rain barrels will elevate displays of each season's styles. There will be an emphasis on reflection and natural light through the use of full height windows and floor-to-ceiling mirrors which will highlight the exotic, unique details of the designs. Surfaces will be polished and glossy to reflect the most natural light around the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. When there is a lack of natural light, spotlights tucked behind two-way mirrors will shine down on displays. Locally sourced materials will be used throughout the sleek, chic space. The windows along the South wall will also provide a 'greenhouse effect' for the indoor garden along the base; three other bio-walls will be planted on the North wall, alternating between the full-height mirrors. <br />
<br />
Fashion and Interior Designers can no longer ignore the impact that production and materials have on the environment- it is necessary to use green practices in all steps from sourcing materials to producing or crafting the designs to the way they are presented to the customer. TIYE is the ultimate model, combining sustainabilty with unparalleled beauty and timeless style.<br />

Welcome to apartmentLove's first ever Feature Apartment post!<br />
<br />
Last week I
visited my old co-worker Gavin at his West Town two-bedroom apartment where he lives with his girlfriend (whom I did not get to meet but have to thank for letting me photograph her apartment) and his roommate Scott. The space definitely sparked some apartment jealousy in me when I walked in. The walls have lots of exposed brick, tons of natural light, a new kitchen, and it’s
filled with a whole bunch of pieces with some great stories attached. My interview with the guys is below, and the full, transcribed (unedited) interview can be read on the Interviews page tomorrow. But first, check out their space in the photos below.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> When did you guys move in here?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> We got the apartment on
Christmas Day, and then we moved in [the] 28th.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b> <i>What's your favorite room in this place?</i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"></i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Favorite room? Well my bedroom
now, I just painted it, so... it was out here [in the living room], ‘cause I
hated... our room was this burnt orange color before…<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> The color of Scott's room?</i>
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But just in part of it, like right here [by the
door]. Ours was that whole f*cking ... That's so much burnt orange, and I… hated
it. Hated it, hated it... His is nice ‘cause it’s just like one wall, and it's…
compliment. And it… pops. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> With the brick it looks nice.</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> But… it was like way too, way
too much orange [in our room].<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Did you guys paint these walls, too [in the
kitchen and main room] or was that done?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Nah this is... it's called ‘eggshell’...
All of this... Our rooms we're allowed to do whatever we want, but out here we
just have to like, tell him.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Do you know when the building was built at
all or anything about it? It seems a lot newer. Or at least a little [newer].</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> I know it’s a gut rehab. So
the frame of the building is old and… all I know is he said [the] bricks have
been redone and they’re like three layers deep now.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Was this your first choice, for apartments?
Or did you guys… were you looking at a billion of them?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Oh my God… <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Was there something you wanted more?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Oh… we looked at so many… This
place, actually… it was the cover photo on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">domu.com</i>…and
I was one of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">domu</i> models once.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Yeah, I remember that. </i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> I’m still their twitter icon.
Which is… weird, I don’t know why… ‘cause they’ve done like four or five
campaigns since then, and I don’t know why they still use my picture. But…<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Maybe you look like a typical, Midwestern
person, who wants to live in Chicago.</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Well… the picture is… I still
have my long hair and a beard, like the way I did when we were working
together, and… I have no idea why [they still use the picture] But I told [the
landlord], I just… called him right away… he answered and I was like… “I work
with that site, too…” and he was like “Cool” and he had us come by, and he told
us that when we came by to look at it, if we just brought the check we could
sign.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Did you guys have any problems with this
space when you moved in… was there anything that you had to fix or… that you
didn’t like, or?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> The upstairs neighbors didn’t
like us. I had people over for my birthday, and I had… some words… and they’ve
never said anything to us since then… [that] was, honestly, the only thing… I
feel like in the first week like three light bulbs burned out, so the landlord
like… he timed that perfectly. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> What is your favorite thing about this
neighborhood? What do you guys like about living here? </i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Um… it’s fairly clean. On the
streets, and stuff like that. It’s quiet… After living in Wicker Park for 5
years, I don’t mind that it’s a little quieter at night, like a little bit…<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Yeah, not as many bars…</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> ‘Cause off the six way, I mean
at the old apartment, not as much when [Scott] moved in, but living there in
the summer there was always vomit on the front steps and stuff… <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Yeah… it’s like the place that
you would go to like… “okay, I’m going to wander over here now.”<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Where have you guys gotten your favorite
pieces of furniture? Can you kind of… can you tell me again what that organ is
[in your room]?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Oh yeah, yeah, I have a, I
have like a mid-seventies… Hammond M3, so … yeah the B3 is like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the</i> rock organ and then the M3 that I
have is the… mobile version of it [that] they make for travel and stuff.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> It’s very cool. And you use it as a desk?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> …Right I mean… I can still pop
it off and play it, it’s out of tune right now, it needs.. all you do to tune
it is grease the gears, but it’s a little more work than it sounds like. But…
the organ and this Wurlitzer [in the main room] were my uncle’s and… when he
was in college, he had like a really successful band in Indiana and… they were
the house band at… some big clubs, and like he would always have that organ
with that Wurlitzer stacked on top, and he would play both… he was like the
band leader, but he couldn’t sing, so, he just was like the musician. He had
all these hired girl singers… he was making money. ‘Cause his band was like,
him… soulful black dudes and then really pretty girls, so… he was making some
money. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> What about the chairs? And [anything else]?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Oh cool thing, his parents
made this desk.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> I love that desk!</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> My dad is like, really handy
when it comes to making things, like you see that’s, it’s not metal, but it’s
PVC and it’s just spray painted… to look like rust. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Yeah, most [of] the pots that
we have, like the bigger ones… any big one you see that has plants in it I got
from… when dibs on our street- I would always steal them from people that would
put parking dibs and all of those are from parking dibs. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Is that true?? I remember you
brought [one] home like “Yes, dude this is from a dibs.”<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> I uh, I got… four I think,<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Should I scratch that from the record?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> No! Dude no, let them know. I
drive, too and I hate dibs. Like, I’m the kind of vehicle that… should do dibs
because I have a big car and I, you know, if I don’t do it you don’t need to do
it. So… I brought those home, bought plants, and then put them all [in]. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Can you tell me about those chairs, too?
The chairs and this… floor cushion?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Scott knows more about the
floor cushion, but the two chairs came from Salvage One and they were my last
roommate[‘s], she bought them and then she moved in with her boyfriend and… I
really liked them and she passed them down to me. Because when we moved in here
we didn’t have anything. All I had was this super comfortable bed, and music
gear. So, because, before I moved in here, the last place, I was homeless for
like 8 months, and then I lived at the last apartment, this time last year is
when I moved in [here], and I had to start all over, I did not have anything.
So… everything in this apartment except for music gear [has] mostly been
acquired in the last year of my life, so… hitting restart is the best feeling
ever. And 8 months of not having an apartment taught me… [there are] so many
things you don’t need. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> But it accumulates really quickly! What’s the
story with the floor cushion? </i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Oh yeah a bunch of this different
stuff, so… there’s some funny stories… the cushion is actually a meditation
cushion… from when I used to teach yoga… and let me see… the chair, is actually
a purchase that I made when I was 13. For my… after my bar mitzvah. I used my
bar mitzvah money, to buy that luxury recliner. I don’t know if you know, but
this goes all the way back, Let me, let me show you why…<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Did you have a lot of girls in it when you
were thirteen…? </i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Um… yeah, I had a waterbed
too. So, I was… I was mackin’ when I was… in middle school. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> He just dropped that on us the
other day that he had the waterbed growing up and I was like, that is
ridiculous.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Yeah, it was pretty
ridiculous.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> That’s pretty awesome. </i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> I don’t know, I was… somehow
like some trashy seventies… wannabe porn star, apparently.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> The stools you’re sitting on
we got from his friend who moved to New York City, the wood that we built the
record shelf out of came from rehabbed wood that his parents were maybe going
to [build] the desk with, and then, this is really funny, those cattle rods
that we have in the corner… those are real cattle rods from a Texas ranch, from
a girl I used to live with, and… I tied them up like that to move them here,
that was it, and then I shit you not like that same week, I went to CB2, and
they had this as… a display thing in their store you could buy, driftwood they
had tied together. I sent Scott a picture and I was like dude apparently I am… <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hip</i>.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Cool. Is there anything else you guys want
to tell me about this place?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> It’s haunted! No, I’m just
kidding. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> Oh… this, probably doesn’t
need to be on the record, but… I don’t think we went in the bathroom, which we
don’t have to, it’s not the coolest, it’s my least favorite thing about the
apartment is the bathroom, ‘cause there’s no natural light. It’s just a dark
room… but our landlord previous to us, I guess he travels a lot, for his job,
he designed the shower and bathroom after a hotel that he liked… he said he
stays there all the time. So it’s the same shower curtain, same… tile, and the
same shower head, he had at some hotel that he <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">loves</i>.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">S:</b> Yeah, it’s like a Holiday Inn
or something. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aL:</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Oh jeez, I forgot to ask the most important
question… What makes your apartment feel like home?</i><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">G:</b> That is a good question… The
feel, the plants, the natural light, the view of downtown; it feels like where
we are supposed to be right now.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
One of my favorite things to go hunting for is a new surface.
What do you mean a new surface?? Anything on top of which you can place other
things. Anything that can be used for storage, decoration, eating, studying,
working, having a conversation, resting your drink or your book or your mail or
whatever. And yes, I’m talking about tables.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
But you can really use any surface as a table. Sometimes I
use stools, or wooden chairs, and in the photos below you’ll see that I’ve used
my mama’s old cedar toy chest as my coffee table (thanks mom!) The best thing
about tables is that you don’t ever have to have two of the same in order to
pull a room together. Out of all of the furniture elements in a room, your
tables can be the most mis-matched and you can still make it work. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
These are three of my favorite tables in my apartment right
now, and a few different ways I’ve styled them in the past couple of weeks.</div>

<b>Table 1: The Nightstand </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Last week I showed you guys some of the necessities on/in my nightstand. This is the table that I change up the least. I NEED to have: lipbalm, hot buttered rum lipgloss, flowers or a plant, my favorite perfume, a jewelry dish, a lamp, a delicious smelling candle, two books (one for learning and one that's just a good story), and a bottle of lotion. If I even try to go to sleep without those things I swear I will have nightmares. It's not good. (I even carry most of those things- okay only the beauty products- with me when I sleep elsewhere. Necessities.) What does change are: the types of plants/flowers, whether I keep the beauty products in a tray or in my little catch-all drawer, and the books that I am reading. </div>

This table was my grampa's first telephone table. I have no idea if he made it or bought it but when my gramma passed away, it was passed on to me. I've moved it all over but I think I've found its permanent spot next to my rocking chair.
I absolutely love the yellow color (another paint sample that I didn't keep the card for.. uups) that I used to paint it. </div>

<b>Table 3: The Coffee Table</b><br />
On one of my best hunts I came home with 8 (eight) pieces of furniture all crammed in the trunk of my Jeep (impressive, right?) One of those pieces was a GIGANTIC coffee table that had a terrible paint job- peeling, cracked, gross... but I thought- no problem, I can fix this! I spent three weeks removing the paint, sanding it down, re-painting it. I spent four months staring at it in my living room and hating it more and more every day. Then I had the epiphany (!) to tear it apart and use the sides for shelves, and to use the cedar chest as my coffee table. And suddenly all was right with the world again.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Last year at this time I was living in an apartment where I
never opened the curtains, always had the air conditioning on, and it was so. Not.
Me. And then I moved out, and started the search for a perfect apartment that
would fit my lifestyle. I had a BILLION ideas in my head about what I wanted in
an apartment and my list was super long and talked to a realtor and saw a ton of
places and all of them were just…. Okay.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And then, by luck, or chance, or all of the energy in the
universe working in my favor, a friend got engaged and announced her moving out of this place. So I sent her a text message at like 3am one day (sorry!) and told her
I would basically sell my soul for her apartment. And it was 98% perfect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s beautiful. First of all, it’s super cheap, for the area.
It’s huge- big enough for Lilli to have her own room/share it with me so that I
can have an office. There are more windows than there were in my childhood home
(wuuuttt?) and the landlord *literally* said I can do whatever I want to the
place and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">he will fix it when I move out</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hyperventilation and high school girl style squealing,
commence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was planning out a beautiful, huge, all white bedroom for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">months </i>even when I was still living in
the old place. I was going to have all of these gorgeous gigantic windows and
perfect lighting all day, I wanted everything to be bright and airy and ‘pinterest-perfect’
(get it? Not picture-perfect..) I Pinterest-boarded a billion all-white rooms,
saved a thousand photos in my “Apartment Ideas: Bedroom” folder, and then
realized when I was shopping that white is… boring. I kept seeing color and
patterns that I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">loved </i>and thought ‘well,
I can’t buy that… it’s not WHITE.’ So I said, f*ck the all white room. I’m not
an ‘all white’ kind of girl, anyway. So I started with a set of lightly
patterned sheets from Target, and the rest is history.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I would love to say that I don’t follow any decorating
rules, that I really honestly and truly just buy only what I like and what I
want and don’t give a damn about what “convention” says, but that’s not 100%
true. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to keep all of the random things I buy looking like
they belong together, I do follow a few rules for almost all of my decorating
schemes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rule number 1: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">You
can mix patterns, but mix sizes, too</b>. If you have 5 different patterns that
are all repeated at the same size and space, things are going to start looking
kind of crazy. Vary the intensity of the pattern and the size of the pattern,
and you can mix whatever you want! For example, my pillows have similar pattern
sizes, but the negative space created by the shapes in the pattern makes them
go together nicely</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rule number 2: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pick a
color that you like. Or love. And use that color EVERYWHERE</b>. But not like,
everywhere where the entire room is dripping in easter pastel pink. Use it a
little bit in everything, to keep your different patterns and textures
cohesive. For example: I love turquoise blue. All shades of it. I have variations
of it on: the rug next to my bed, the pot holding the watercress, the jewelry
dish on my nightstand, the pattern in my sheets, the blanket on top of my bed,
and the floral pattern on the sleeping bag. None of them are overpowering, but
they help tie all of the different elements in my sleeping area together. I
swear, this tip will help you marry a billion patterns and styles together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rule number 3: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Use a
lot of nature</b>. Always have fresh flowers, a plant, a few twigs or feathers
in a jar, or something that brings the outside in. I have come to realize that
if you’re ‘missing something’, it’s probably a plant. Terrariums are great
because they are low maintenance, and herbs are always nice to have around in the house for fragrance and use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rule number 4: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Decorate
slowly</b>. Yes, I love Target. Yes, I could create an entire home from
everything that Target has to offer. But then... I would basically be living in
Target. And that’s really not cool, or comfortable. Many (like… 99%) of my
things are second hand or thrifted, a lot of them are gifted, and very few are
bought and used the way they were intended. Which brings me to my last rule.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Rule number 5: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Make
yourself happy</b>. If you love chinoisierie, then use it all over your house.
If you love neon pink, paint a wall neon pink! If you love porcelain dogs,
collect a whole bunch of them and display them proudly! I call this, the elephant in the room rule. Nobody wants to admit it, that they feel like their home is 'never up to the design world standard'. Decorating your house
or apartment is not a contest with HGTV designers or with that girl you follow
on Pinterest/Instagram/Blogger (ha ha.. but seriously.) <b>Decorating is what makes your place feel like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">home</i>, and that is what this blog is
about. If you are comfortable with it, then use it, and be happy. </b></div>

Guys, I walked to the hardware store three times on Saturday.<br />
<br />
It's about a half mile from my door to their door. Which means I walked three miles on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Good. Because I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday (whoops!).<br />
<br />
But that's besides the point.<br />
<br />
I have been debating about whether I should paint my dining table for a while now, and I finally decided last week that I would just do it. If I hated it, I was preparing myself to strip all the paint and just stain it some dark wood stain. So I sanded it all down (twice, because I wanted to make sure that this paint actually stuck), painted three coats of flat white latex paint (from my collection of paint samples, of which I eventually will post a photo), coated it with a layer of polyurethane, and... voila! Beautiful new white dining table. And I'm in love. It's so pretty, and to be honest, the wood on the table was completely destroyed from my sister and I doing *at least* 12 years of homework on it (apparently angrily doing homework, judging by the gouges in the top... sorry mom).<br />
