well, i'm gonna sit here and tell you something i'm pretty excited about. there is breakthru on redesigning/redecorating my bedroom....(sigh of relief)....FINALLY! i'm pretty passionate when it comes to decorating my house- i love it. its such a fun hobby for me- but in saying all that, in the year and a half i've been living in my cozy little place, i haven't even touched my room. partially because its been a slow slow process and i'm saving it for last, but also because i'm incredibly picky. just because i havent done anything to my room, doesn't mean i haven't been looking...

over the weekend, i mentally snapped and couldn't stand the sight of the horrid blinds hanging over my windows- not to mention one of them would be considered a bed sheet. it has been there long enough and it had to go! all three windows let in amazing natural light, but i haven't been able to enjoy the light because the blinds didn't open- until this weekend! i gave in and on friday, i went to lowes and bought the most pretty, cheap blinds you could find (keep in mind i'm a rentor). it pained me to buy them, but i did. it helped that i made a promise to myself the next time i purchase blinds will be in MY house and nothing less than faux wood blinds will do. there. that's settled. next step- (the one i'm super pumped about)- updating the outdated furniture. at this very moment, my room is completely dresserless. i'm living out of a heeping pile of clothes sprawled out all over my hardwood floors.  and, being the ocd clean freak that i am, i have trouble sleeping at night- knowing that my room is 'dirty.' 

why am i dresserless? you ask. ah, well check out this beauty

yep. this vintage modern piece was hand picked out of a salvage store by my precious friend m3. she has a creative touch and enjoys giving outdated furniture pieces new life, yet maintaining the unique style and character of the old. i ran over to her house saturday afternoon to drop off my outdated dresser with the intentions of her faux finishing it for me, yet when i saw this piece, i just knew it needed to come home with me. and i can hardly wait to see this beauty and all the character it has to offer, resting comfortably in my home. m3 is currently at work on it. it's her first modern piece to faux finish, so we both can't wait to see how it turns out! if you're interested in getting an update to your house/loft/apartment, before you go out and spend a fortune on new furniture, i'm gonna recommend you hire m3 to give that old clunky grandma looking piece of furniture swanky style and a new life. m3 is creative and doesn't like resting comfortably inside the creative box. you can even check out her blog which hosts many of her pieces before-and-after to get an idea of what m3's all about. no joke. she's the best. i love her. i love having creative friends who aren't afraid to use their talents.

blinds. check. dresser. almost check. who knows whats next for the bedroom. i'm thinking a new paint job. not completely sure but i'll keep you updated. and post pictures of the progress.
