EvY at HomE

I'm anticipating that post before might stay up longer than I want to due to lack of time to update so I'm gonna push it down a hair and put up this image for no reason. I love the look of these beds but oof that frame doesn't look comfy.

Well it’s been a year since the inauguration of that shithole into office. Things are amazing, I was so wrong. Ever since he became president we’ve seen unprecedented harmony and love between all Americans. People have never been nicer, racism is all but gone, and the US is the most respected and admired country in the world. He’s matured so much as a person, is super presidential and never acts unbecoming on Twitter or elsewhere. NOT. Come on y’all. It sucks. Every few days he throws some temper tantrum on Twitter that attacks someone personally amongst a plethora of annoying things that he and his administration handles. In fact, here are some lessons I’ve learned from the president of the United States, things I hope to pass onto my children: If anyone thinks unfavorably of you they are wrong and anything like a poll that says otherwise is a lie. If anyone criticizes you, take that opportunity to make it personal and attack their looks, their past, anything you have ...

I like this concept for a guest room where you can fill it with pretty things but it's out of the way and completely space saving. And that you know they need lamps but there's no space so they sconce. I consider this combination for the office a lot but I dunno if I need more bookcases in there. Plus I want them to be very specific like how the bottom is deeper than the top shelves. What's is that? I am on my laptop on a Saturday while Alice watches a movie so I can kind of ignore her while Matt and Wally nap because a last minute job came up and now I guess I gotta work. I need more work. Xo.

I decided when I laid out the office that the desk would be on this wall so that I'd have a space for a memo board of sorts and then we had an extra bookcase and that ended up in here and I've been thinking of what would be a good solution to this wall of desk to make it more streamlined and useful to what I think we could use in the office. Ideally on this wall I would have a double desk and both closed and open storage. A double desk because well, I have two kids and maybe they could do homework here or I could be on one while they're on the other and one could be the boys and one the girls desk. Also sometimes I work from home and have co-workers so a built in double desk would be amazing. Probably my favorite/best inspiration is this built-in desk that was on Domino. Plus it was in green and white and pink with gold accents which are my major color combos for the office! I also found this cheaper idea at Ikea which is a customizable wall mounted situation and ...

Last year and the year before that I made a short list of a few home items I wanted and since I got 4 out of 5 I'm gonna say we did good. So here's what would be nice to upgrade keeping in mind that these are just small things that would work if we remodeled. I guess I'm feeling super wordy so this is gonna be unnecessarily long but if you don't wanna read, just look at the pictures. Overall I'm committing to the "modern farmhouse" thing in that I ONLY want to buy things that would work in other rooms of the house if I felt the need to switch things out. Which basically means anything I buy needs to be black/white/grey and in the style of that aesthetic. I also have a major regret with the master bed and bathroom in that I wish I wouldn't have done the midcentury modern brass thing because now I want to keep the style consistent for the whole house and that room is sort of an outlier (and the office but the office is a funky playroom so it is what i...

TWENTY EIGHTEEN WOOOO. The last month of 2017 was actually pretty good to great so I ended well and am starting this year very optimistically. I had a break full of productivity and nothing and socializing so when I went to work today I felt content. Which is a good feeling to have when you're a person battling depression. And these little joys certainly help. New Year's Eve and New Year's is a big day for me. I love ending and starting things I guess? I also love the idea and themes and general what have yous of New Year's such as glam and gold. We hosted a few couples for my annual chili (3rd year in a row!) and I went all out with the table. I think I've been collecting New Year's Eve party ideas for awhile now and was glad I finally got to execute a few of them like a disco ball and clocks. Oh and the perfectly tipped over coupe, come on.  I've got to recap 2017 soon and then I owe a few lists for house goals and personal goals.
