Wow, I use it for my business, I make orb mobiles, also collect photos for my blog, woefully neglected as I am so busy, also for what I love like tiny houses, unique art and whimsical things...then I sometimes to forget to look at what I love...I also use it to shop, I normally shop thru Goggle images so much easier however Pinterest is fast becoming my go-to for my wishlist of items to buy.

Oh I had to totally resist going to my favorite plant place today...the perfect day as well, rainy and cold and so wanted to be in a warm and humid flower-filled, plant-greened filled greenhouse....resisted due to work to create and still wondering what plants to get.
Do I go with a super big one...and done, or create little spaces of green around my studio apartment. Need help here...then on the way home I spied some birch branches that were being tossed out, grabbed a great branch for my studio space...and am now currently "plant" happy. I love the articles on plants for apartments and all and looking for some great options for window shelving for plants...thinking of making a orb of greenery to add to my collection of butterflyorbs...that might help me out as well.

This is where 3 houses would be so nice as I love cozy, love minimal and perhaps then French over the top extravagant....oh well. That is a dream! Right now cozy studio is what I have.

what a huge difference! love it!
I have re-done apartments before and just decided I was willing to lose my deposit as it was my "home" so it can be done and of course you don't want to go outrageous..
Making a deal works well, this works when you show your landlord what you have done and what you want to do....
Can't wait to see the next post on this apartment!


Maxwell & Ursula's Light Rental Reno: Floors - #2 Renovation Diary

I have rented for years and love it....and my landlords love me because I always fixed the apartments up and left them better than when I found them. I probably should have gone into design work or flipped houses as I so enjoy the process of improving spaces.
One Christmas my landlords showed up at my door and hand me $ for all the work I had done...what a surprise! I had no expectations of being re-paid, just wanted the place to look great! That was a wonderful gift to me! We are talking hundreds of dollars given to me.
Now I am in a small studio space and loving it....just warming up on the plans for "what to do with this space".
And I am reading Apartment Therapy for all design ideas....and of course Pinterest.
Just got back from IKEA, that was fun!

I have heard emerald green is going to be big...
Also heard that soft green was the color of the day at a Chicago Expo featuring Gifts and loads of the Holiday fair was soft green more on the pale green side...
Movies will influence as well as mentioned in earlier posts.
Hedgehog influence not to sure about however it is amusing to read about...

I love wallpaper! And mostly the kind you can easily remove if you change direction in your design....an accent wall idea is my favorite. I pinned several to my boards.
