Furniture


Woah!  I keep finding these amazings things (furniture, clothes, jewelry, prints) and I just have to slam myself in the forehead with the palm of my hand and think - why didn't I think of that!

Apartment





         


     


Here are some pictures of my new place.  Things are still coming together, and a little messy because I took these photos the morning after my birthday party.  The picture of my bedroom is a little weird because I took on my cellphone.  




Presents

My best friend Mim came up from Ithaca to help ring in my 26th year.  She brought me this beautiful mug, lotion, and annnnn AIR PLANT!! Which I have been really wanting forever.


My boyfriend got me this amazing old school rhinestone circled clock- the picture doesn't even do it justice!

He also got me this cute owl kitchen set.  It's hard to see here but they are salt and pepper shakers, creamer, sugar bowl, and napkin holder!


And this cute shirt - which I put on immediately!!




My friend Reanna got me this AMAZING tapestry from Ten Thousand Villages.  I am going to use it as a closet curtain.  How do my friends know me so well?? I'm in love with everything.


Megan got me this awesome bike basket!  I'm going to put it on my cruiser and take it to Saturday's Farmers Market and stock up on as much fresh bread, and vegetables my basket will carry.


Jake, Jess. and Sean got me wine : )


And this couch is the Birthday present I got for myself!  I found it on craigslist - it's from the 1930s.

Birthday Success!










So when I got out of work on my birthday I came home to this beautiful patio setup!  Megan, Reanna, and Paul really outdid themselves.  They got tons of patio furniture, a new grill. lanterns, food, drinks.  my friend Sal bought me the beautiful sunflowers, Peter also got me an amazing bouquet which I seperated and spread out on the tables.  It was really a birthday/house warming party.  Most of our friends came and saw the place for the first time,  we got lots of compliments.  I still pinch myself about the porch, this summer is going to be great!

My friend Reanna had a big Cinco De Mayo get together and really outdid herself.  We had lots of food, lots of drinks, and tons of fun.  Anyways.... being there that night made me realize how amazing her apartment is!  She just recently moved in - and went through the whole process of organizing and reorganizing.  I thought I took more pictures of all the amazing little nooks and corners in her place, but I must have deleted them to make room for friends doing headstands (still no memory card).  Anyways here are couple of my favorite things in her place.

Barfday









So my birthday is coming up very soon... (May 15th).  It falls on a Saturday which is great.  I am hoping to get the joint in shape so I can have some friends over (If the weather is nice, hopefully out on the rooftop).  I put together some images to get me motivated.

Apartment





So I am going to put up some paper lantern lights in my closet cove area... While looking for some inspiration I came across these photos at Bloesem.  Does anyone know where I can get neat lanterns like this...cheap?

Friends!




So it's been a while since I have posted anything... this is because I've been busy packing and unpacking, working, and hanging out with my besties!  I've moved into the most spectacular apartment - lots of pics to come!  It is only a block away from my old place, so the move wasn't super terrible.  Reanna, Megan and I went to Runway 3.0 and out this last Saturday -  we got dressed up, got VIP tickets, came home- had drinks on the rooftop, went and saw my boyfriend's band play, and out for more drinks after.  It was a pretty magical night.
