Finally getting around to it


It took me long enough (I've been living in my apartment for over a year now) but I'm finally pulling this place together.  Don't ask me what took me so long.  Oh wait, sheer laziness and a big blank space on the floor to stack all my prints and frames and watch them collect dust.  But I'm finally getting around to it, especially with the overhanging guilt of all the beautiful homes I've been posting about lately.  Above, I've shared a snapshot of the spot I do most of my blogging from at home, with the sofa that I agonized over last year for months (thank you again Jeanine for your help!).  At long last, I framed the prints that I've collected over the years and hung them successfully without a level thank you very much.  A girl can never have too many prints, is what I've found, and I have my eye on a few more that I just have to find wall space for.  But meanwhile, back at the ranch, we're pretty pleased with ourselves for getting the place semi-spruced up.  Who knows, I might even organize the rest of my apartment to show a little bit more of it this week.  It's only a year late, right?

  1. looks great, and, well I've lived in my house the best part of 20yrs and we are still 'pondering' over bathroom flooring...

  3. Love love love this shot and love love LOVE seeing a little corner of your home! There's a great bit from Under the Tuscan Sun (the book, not the movie) where the main character says she always asks her sister about other people, "What's her house like?" Knowing full well that what she's REALLY asking is "What is SHE like?" ;) I totally get that.

  5. Looking good! Where is the floor lamp from? I've been looking to replace the one in our living room, and I love the one you have!

  6. Well I think you did great- and I know the feeling. We've been in our place for about 5 years and I still cannot commit to the placement of art work. Looking forward to seeing more!

  8. Ahh, love the couch! And the bench as a coffee table! ;) I don't think a year is too late. I'm less than a week in my new space and I'm already through with the unpacking and organizing. Sigh.

  9. it looks so grown up! i am hoping when i get my new sofa mine will too. OH the agony of buying things like sofas. i am so glad i am not alone. when people put words like 'fun' into sentences about these tasks i just stare blankly and blink. having it, is fun. shopping and choosing not so much. where did you end up getting yours?

  10. Girl, homes are always works in progress, that's what makes them homes, not staged sets or models for real estate photos. I still have a million projects that I've been meaning to tackle (HELLO, our living room still hasn't been painted and I've been talking about it for two years!). I love your lamp! xo

  13. Looks cozy! I'm pretty lazy about decorating too, especially hanging new photos. Takes fooorrever for me to do.

  14. I love your sofa and prints and you know I'm always happy to help!! Do I spy the West Elm lamp you were thinking of getting or is that another model? I see plenty of room for prints on that wall....

    I think waiting a year is not a big deal. That's just about right on schedule as far as I'm concerned, and maybe even a bit early you overachiever! :)

  15. that couch looks pretty darn comfy, and those prints quite intriguing. i'm trying to fill my own blank walls with art and illustrations. now, i keep saying this but let's be honest, it won't happen for me either till a year later. i am a queen of procrastination!

  16. Woohoo! Looking good . . .

    For the record, I never use a level. Granted, I have a few thousand stray holes in the walls, but nonetheless . . .
