Paper Pillow

This origami pillow from Urban Outfitters really strikes my paper-loving chord. I'm update the new home's look with some pillows, but it's just not in the cards at the moment.

We're all settled in, except for the massive amount of junk I have to throw out. Isn't it embarrassing/depressing to physically see how much JUNK you own? I keep repeating the Tyler Durden mantra in my head, "The things you own end up owning you." Not this girl!

Deep Sea Slumbler

Please discuss how awesome these pillowcases are. I never thought I would find such nautical treats at the house of Howard Edward Butt (HEB). It's not the grown-up-woman look I've been going for, but I suppose it confirms my suspicians I am turning into an 8-year-old boy.

Raincoat Room

Domino Magazine has this bit where they take an outfit and use it as inspiration to design a room. In the May 2006 issue they took a chic little lady in a raincoat and made the Raincoat Room. I got pretty excited since I already had an obnoxiously yellow Kate Spade blanket I found on sale at Marshalls (score!).

When I moved back to Sugar Land, this was my big project for the first couple months. It's still a work-in-progress and it's been really fun finding stuff for my room. I think an upholstered headboard would totally make the room complete and I'm determined to learn how to make one.

Can you tell which room is mine? The grainy cell-phone picture might give it away...

Also, shout out to Dara Quackenbush, my former PR Professor! You're making me nervous reading my blog! How am I doing???
