<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not good at remembering this. My husband is, but for the most part, not me. Sometimes, I have a tendency to let <b>one thing </b>change the course of my day... do you know what I mean? Not necessarily little things, like when someone cuts me off while I'm driving, or is impatient with me when I shop. But things that are a little bit bigger...like when I unintentionally offend someone who is important to me, or when I argue with my mom. <i>These </i>things have a tendency to alter how I feel about my day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have definitely gotten better at this over the years -- especially since my husband and I first got together, since he is just a genuinely positive person. The other night, we watched the movie <i>The Secret </i>and I was struck by the notion that so much of life revolves around the concept of positive thinking. My mom, of course, has been telling me all along, as she is such a uniquely optimistic person, as well. But I have most often spent so much time and energy on things that bother me, rather than </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
thanking God for all of the many <b>blessings </b>in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Case in point: Over the past few months that I have been in school, I have been working on a paper for one of my classes that is worth a quarter of my overall course grade. <b>This paper = a big deal</b>. I worked away at it for many hours, days, sleepless nights. I turned it in, and last week I got it back. I earned a ninety-five percent. And I was upset.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so bummed that I didn't get every point that I could. I was even more sad when the comments that my teacher made were in the "good job" realm. My view? <i>Good </i>does not equal <i>great</i>. And so there I was, an 'A' on the biggest assignment of the entire semester, but I was <b>sad</b>! I called my husband and told him how I was feeling, and he was ecstatic for me, because he knew that I had worked so hard on that paper. After I thought about it for a while, I realized that this could be a teachable moment for me. <b>I did my best. And that's all that matters. </b>And so, there's the good in that day -- my takeaway. Something to be proud of. And I didn't let it change my entire day -- in fact, I was happy, and happy to <i>be </i>happy. It was...wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being hard on myself has been a trend in my life. Not finding <b>the good </b>in each day has been my downfall. So, I'm making a promise to myself to <b>find that good piece, the beautiful pebble, even in a wash of sand</b>, and hold it tight, smiling because I have <i>found </i>what is important -- I have <i>found </i>that blessing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>How do you find the good in each day? Are you a generally positive person, or do you struggle to let the little things go?</b></span></div>

Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a <b>wonderful </b>weekend, filled with friends, family, and all that good stuff. :-)<br />

I want to take today to wish my loving husband a <b>Happy Anniversary</b>. This was our first year of marriage, and it sure has been an amazing year.<br />

I never thought I could be so happy, never thought that I would find anyone who <i>truly </i>loved me for me -- flaws and all!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This used to be me. And, I'll admit, sometimes still is. Ever since I was old enough to<b> </b><i>have </i>friends, I have had a few <b>really good ones </b>at once. I was always friend-<i>ly </i>with most everyone I met, but in terms of who I hung out with, who I called when I was having a bad day, or who I trusted with information that I thought was important to keep under-wraps, there were always only a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have had friends who I have been really close with, and then something happens that is big enough that it turns the entire friendship into something else...a, well, acquaintanceship. Sometimes it's hard when this happens, and other times, things just sort of fall into place that way over time, and before I can realize it, the relationship has been redefined.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of my friendships have been fierce in the beginning -- always hanging out, calling each other, hanging out nonstop; and then, all of a sudden, nothing. No hard feelings, no betrayal, just dwindled interest for maintaining that connection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then, there is the other sort of 'friendship break-up' -- that which comes from bad behavior...something that has been said or done to hurt one or the other person. Or both, as some cases may be. The kind that manifests itself in your heart of hearts as a memory of <i>the way things used to be</i>... I have one friendship like this in my repertoire, and I <b>dearly miss </b>this person. I think it would definitely be safe for me to say that after the dissolution of the relationship I had with this person, I became choosier when it came to selecting who I would spend a lot of time with. I didn't want to hurt anyone, and I didn't want anyone to hurt me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can anyone relate to this? This feeling of loss, even though something may have been lost so many years (and what feels like lifetimes) ago?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However sad an ending friendship can be, I have found myself, over time, in a position where new friendships are budding, and old ones are flourishing. I just had lunch the other day with someone who I feel is such a kindred spirit with me already -- and our past is linked in a funny way too, interestingly enough. We went to the same elementary school and middle school, <b>at the same time</b>, and here we are now -- her boyfriend is one of my husband's best friends, and we found ourselves meeting up for lunch the other day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have my bestest friend, a person who brings me such joy and is honestly one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life -- and the sweetest. She is incredibly into nature and all things forest-y, and I <b>learn </b>so much from her, and she offers <i>the best </i>advice. She was the Maid of Honor in my wedding, and honestly, it couldn't have been anyone else. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another <b>very dear friend </b>to me is someone who I look up to for so many reasons. Her positivity, her zest and passion for healthy living, and her incredible kindness and acceptance for everyone are things that I admire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel as though I have been on a journey to make these friends for a long time, and although the pain of past friendships still lingers, today, and tomorrow, and the day after that...I know that, with time, it will be less so.</div>

My personal favorite way these colors are used is in a little girls' nursery. <i>However</i>, if you twist my arm <i>just enough</i>, I may allow some pink + gray in my bedroom with some brass accents. Maybe. ;-) I like these colors best when kept white in order to maintain an airy feel; but darker variations of this palette can be beautiful, and I love to ogle at those from afar.<br />

<br />
Today, I'm talking <b>lucite furniture</b>. <i>Oh</i>, yeah -- get excited! :-) I <i>really </i>love the look of lucite and how it adds such modern flair to a room while occupying very little space, because it <i>is </i>see-through, after all. So, I thought I'd gather up some of my favorite lucite furniture inspiration photos and share them with you today!<br />

<br />
Poufs are not only super comfortable, but they are also incredibly cute! I love the awesome character they can add to a room, and it is my hope to someday have a sweet little collection of <b>all</b> of the poufs of my choice. But for now, I must settle for looking at preeety pictures (*sigh*). Thank goodness I love finding inspiration that way though, right? ;-)<br />

Well, we made it to Friday! Yippee! :-) I hope you all have some really fun things planned for the weekend. Let's all enjoy this first weekend of November!<br />
<br />
I'm bringin' you another Room Translation today! This room completely reminds me of a cabin in the woods - no, not the scary movie kind -- the beautiful kind! The kind with a patterned daybed, a cozy-under-your-feet rug, and a faux moose head. As my husband would say: "That's America to me." ;-)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Hey, there! :-) I thought that I would update you all on some spaces that I've been designing -- a couple for e-mail clients, and the rest just for fun! Every now and again, I will post some projects that I am doing so that if any of <i>you </i>are interested in hiring me for a consultation or mood board (among other things), I can sort of showcase for you what I am capable of. At some point this month, I will be posting a tab page with all of the services that I can offer you. I'll let you all know when I do that!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">I enjoy working within <i>any </i>budget, and I feel that it is very important that I stress that interior design does not have to be a </span>luxury <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">that only certain people can afford. <a href="http://www.element-interiors.com/">Erin Gates</a> has been a </span>huge <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">inspiration for me because this is her view, as well. <i>Everyone </i>should be able to feel that they love their home, and it is my job to facilitate that transition from <i>liking </i>your home, to <i>loving </i>your home. And it is my pleasure to do so!</span></div>

You'll get a kick out of it. ;-) Adler's commandments include things like embracing "maximalism," buying an x-bench, and "mixing fancy with frisky." He also points the finger at several designers throughout history who are the epitome of the happy chic home (commandment number 6). Mr. Adler promises that if you follow these rules, you will have no need to "covet thy neighbor's house" -- you will truly love your very own. (Isn't he the best?)<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentleman, I give you <b>happy chic</b>...<br />

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. :-) Can you believe that this week marks the end of October? Time is <i>flying</i>, people. Be looking forward to some gift guides coming your way in the month of November! <br />
<br />
I want to start off the week with some inspiration pictures of a healthy mixture of stripes and florals. <b>Together. </b>There is something so pretty about this combination, and whether using it in home design or fashion, it's a win-win. I love how the stripes act as a neutral and really pair so well with floral patterns. Let's take a look! :-)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All my life, I <i>just knew </i>that I wanted to be a teacher. My dad was an art teacher, and after my mom was a stay-at-home mom for a while, she ended up becoming a teacher, too. I remember spending so much time in their classrooms, and simultaneously wishing for a classroom of my own someday. After school, my brother and I would be in my mom's room, and I would <b>try </b>to teach him lessons of math and science...all the things I had learned that day. He was your typical antsy younger brother, squirming in his seat, yet listening attentively. It was sweet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although I loved the idea of being a teacher, I was developing a side of myself that I never really realized existed until I was much older -- <b>my inner decorator</b>. I would spend countless hours in my room, arranging "displays" with my toys, much like early-childhood vignettes. I would set up ten-or-so animals on my bed in different ways each morning, perfecting and zhushing while my mom tried to get me out the door for school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I grew older, I enjoyed playing with my mom's candlesticks and creating table settings. She always let me help her decorate for parties and I loved that about her -- how willing she was for me to make things the way I wanted, the way I thought things looked nice. She was facilitating a creativity and passion that I didn't even know that I had yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) a few years ago, we were living in an apartment that had formerly been a bachelor-pad of sorts. I used what little decor I had at that point, and just started nesting most days when I came home from work. I realized that I <i>loved </i>this process so much, and having my own home where I could do what I always had been doing on a much greater scale really gave me such joy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have gone back and forth over the years in terms of my career path. But I think it is safe to say that these past several months, my mind has been made up -- interior decorating and design are things that are important to me, and it's what I <b>love</b>. Interior design is the only thing I can see myself doing in the future, and I am just so happy to finally have made up my mind, and to have come upon this decision by listening to God and following Him as He has lead me here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And to think it all began with Barbies and candlesticks...</div>

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. :-) Mine was very lovely, spent with lots and lots of family -- my favorite!<br />
<br />
In the part of Arizona my husband and I live in, October is <i>just </i>the beginning of Fall. Right now, we are experiencing warmer temperatures during the day (think 80s-90s) and <b>incredibly beautiful </b>nights (60s-70s). This means that I am currently dreaming about outdoor Fall dining! :-) My husband and I have a relatively small patio in comparison to our parents' yards; but we like to spend our mornings and evenings out there -- eating, drinking coffee, and talking. This got me inspired to find some of my favorite outdoor Fall dining escapes to share with you today!<br />
