A preview of what's to come...

I spent all day today working on cleaning and organizing my house.  Like allllllll day.  It is 1:00 am and I am just getting ready for bed.  I cleaned the kitchen, I sorted laundry, I swept floors, I folded clothes, I threw things away, I donated things to Goodwill.  It was somewhat exhausting.  But also exciting.  Because I am preparing my house (really just my bedroom) for a major overhaul. 

I have lived in my wonderful, charming, quirky 1920s duplex for 18 months now.  It is in an amazing part of town and has many wonderful things about it.  But for the majority of the time I've been here, I have been a student who couldn't care less about her room or a girl going through major life changes (i.e. breakups) who couldn't care less about her room.  But now I care.

All of my inspiration comes from Anthropologie, which makes me want to throw flowers and ruffles all over everything.  That's not exactly me, so I'm having to keep things grounded while still being girly.  The changes will be small (and cheap) at first, bust slowly I will have the room of my dreams.

Coming tomorrow: before pictures of everything and some links and pictures to what I'm hoping to do with all of it.

Also look forward to my newly revamped 1001 goals later this week!
