happiness is....

 

or would be...me finding time to read these! i love design books, but they always seem to fall into the category of "i dont really need that right now".  i never buy any, so instead i ask for them as gifts.  i was giddy on christmas morning to open the bottom two (thanks mom)! i have managed to already get half way through the home within us . it is soooo good....bobby mcalpine writes so well  about how design really reflects our emotions and i cant wait to finish. the top three books came from and amazing local used book store  that i will definitely be going back to for more.

i am excited about the new year....this time of year always makes it seem like the possibilities are endless...like anything can happen. what i am making happen right now is cleaning. i am putting away all of the decorations and giving the house a much needed deep clean. it is amazing to me that all of the stuff that has been scattered around the house for the past month fits neatly into 4 totes!  i swear the house feels lighter already.

happy new year! i am looking forward to a good year with my business and this blog!
