a preview of what's to come this month..

My husband and I are just settling into our new apartment. We moved in early November, but with moving to a new city, trying to get our careers kick-started in said new city, Christmas and all that moving closer to family comes along with ("sure I'll eat copious amounts of cheese and watch Ink Master for 6 hours straight on your couch with you since we haven't seen each other regularly for 2 years!"), getting our house looking like and functioning like a real home has been a slower process than one might hope.

I'm a compulsive list-maker and I find writing things down to not only be useful but also incredibly cathartic in a stress-reduction kind of way. My hopes for this blog is that by documenting and talking to the internet (..... I do have friends. I promise.) about all my wicked ideas for my house, I'll actually need to be accountable and will DO them instead of just talking about doing them.

I have many projects in the works and I'm hoping to keep this up to date with all of those.

Apartment Therapy has been my go-to for design blogging for years yet I have yet to participate in any of their infamous 'Cure's'. I think now may be the time.
