Case of the Mondays

It's only 11am, and I have a definitely case of the Mondays. Thanks to my not-o-trusty iphone,  alllllllllllll my recent DIY photos and blog photos have been deleted. So I'm NOT a happy camper. You know how things are just supposed to be easy and simpler with all this new technology and stuff??....well, its not.
I'm beyond annoyed.
I had this whole post prepared, but with out the photos it just makes no sense to even post. So I'm just doing a pretty collective image post today. Enjoy bloggers, hopefully Tuesday will bring some resolve and technology will feel like cooperating with me.


Does anyone else feel overwhelming by technology sometimes? Like they created all these things to make "our lives easier and more efficient" and really we are less efficient and everything is difficult and time consuming?

I bought a rectangle short vase for this very purpose.

I can't get enough. It's so clean, inviting and just pretty.

I'm more relaxed already. Just a case of the Monday's I think...

The Living Room

My first battle with my new spacious abode is the living room. I have a large, hardwood living room that is currently less than livable. We have an ugly big, TV and we bought one tan suede armchair that is very versatile and would work well in any space. A large cream-colored couch that is rather dated and very uncomfortable takes up a large portion of space. Other than that we have nothing.

I want to do something very fresh, bright and relaxing. I'm think hydrangeas.

We're not allowed to paint the walls but I'm feeling a collection of mirror tiles. I have very large wall to fill up, and I am also considering fabric as an alternative to painting. I am an artist and may do a collective piece to fill up the large wall.

I'm on a mission to find inexpensive furniture to refurbish(being the fabulously resourceful college student that I am) I'm dreaming of a crisp white coffee table, with candles and a floor lamp, to provide softer lighting.
