White Floral Frame Daybed
I moved into my condo around the holidays and I took my time with furnishing my guest room/office. I had my desk from my townhouse and clothing rack in there, but I still needed a daybed. I wasn’t in a rush to get anything so I took my time looking for a daybed that I liked. I ordered a white floral metal daybed shortly before my state went on lockdown so it took a while to get it, but I eventually did. And then, it took me a while to get a mattress and bedding. Again, I wasn’t in a rush. So now I finally have all of that and…

Repurposed: Glass Containers
My dad was recently cleaning out part of the basement and asked my brother and me what kid games and things we wanted to keep and what he could toss. There was an arts and crafts box with little glass containers and “stained glass” paint to paint them. I was going to give the kit to my friend’s kids, but the paint was understandably all dried up so I decided to take the little glass jars home with me to use as little glass vases. Not a bad way to repurpose a childhood arts and crafts kit in my opinion! I’ve linked to some cute bud vases below! *This post…

Spending Time Indoors
How have you been coping with all of the time indoors during this self-quarantining? Are you binging shows on Netflix? Are you crafting? Cooking? I’ve been working from home (virtually teaching) so that’s been taking up most of my days and then cooking a lot. I already cooked quite a bit and enjoy it, but now that I’m home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and not going out for any dinners with friends and family, there’s been a lot of cooking going on. With all this extra time inside our homes, it makes it much easier if you’ve got furniture and surroundings that you actually like. When I moved into my…

Geometric Shelf Bookcase
This post has been a long time coming. I bought this bookcase and had it delivered back in January, but it’s taken me a while to get it looking the way I want. I’m probably still not done messing with it, but it’s “done” enough that I can finally share! So I knew I needed a bookcase in my living room for various items – vases, extra candles, a few dvds, and books. I have a lot of books – a lot of which I have left at my parents’ house – but I’m constantly getting more books. Whether I’m being gifted them for review purposes or buying them myself,…

Vases
Yesterday was my first day back to work for the week since I got the flu. I only missed 2 days of work, which doesn’t seem like a lot considering I had the flu, but I guess when you take in to account that I started feeling sick on Friday and then spent the whole weekend sick, it makes sense. Anyway, my day back wasn’t bad and I took it easy most of the day and mostly just directed my students. Then, I came home, watched tv, made dinner, and watched the much anticipated sequel to To All the Boys I Loved Before – P.S. I Still Love You. It…
