I want! I want!

I have been searching the internet trying to fix the problem that is known as my room. Here are some pieces I found and fell in love with:


This would fit perfect in my small, small room. My bed takes up most of the space but this would work perfect for a vanity/desk/side table. Gorgeous. Princess-y. Perfect. I hope someone else didn't buy it already.


Then there is this piece:





I am obsessed with this color right now. I would love to have this in my closet as my drawers for my unmentionables. Gosh I love that word.



Then this red set of drawers is amazing too:





So many pretty things, not enough room!

I'll come back to this from time to time

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS,
the IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES,
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be.

-Shel Silverstein

Inspiration from memories

I did this project long, long ago where I drew and colored/painted saturn (it was my favorite planet) for an extracurricular group or something, I think it was an honors contest in 5th grade. Anyway, I randomly remembered that this morning on my drive to work and wondered if Crayola still made watercolor pencils.
Good news!!!!
They do:


On my christmas list: yes please!

Baby Sebastian, son to O and C is going to be brought into the world today!!! C has been induced and we at the office are waiting for word. I hope it goes smoothly and doesn't take too long!
