It really was a good morning. I had such a wonderful weekend ice skating and playing around Boston and then today I found out all my classes are cancelled...what are the odds? The sun is actually shining into our apartment, and not only did my boyfriend bring home this adorable heart candle with flowers last night, but he learned how to start the coffee machine. Hey, it's the little things and I'm soaking it up. Do you remember the ikea bookshelf in the background, from my previous organization project? For the few that are wondering, I ended up painting it a light gray and moving it towards the window for now. It was too matchy matchy near the desk. All the extra storage items found a place on an old Container Store bookshelf:
This is right behind our bedroom door and as you can tell there are pipes and wires, etc. Nothing exciting, but all the crafting supplies are here and a stack of magazines that need to be filed. I added the flowers and candle, but to keep it real, they are never there!
anyway, hoping to have a few love posts up this week...until then, I'm going to make a serious to do list {which better involve the school books on the right of my desk} in my new notebook with a big cup of coffee.
happy monday!
and of course, don't forget to enter the Pretty Chic SF giveaway!
Happy Snowday! I have one too. Where did you find the blue file holders? I love the color and desperately need to get my magazines in order!

This post really inspires me to do something about the bin where I just throw mail and papers into it, until I need something and rummage through it all!
ReplyDeleteglad you had a day off! Sorry I didn't get back to you. I still want to make curtains. I ended up working Saturday night! no fun!
ReplyDeleteI think the best days off are the one "surprise" ones. A little pocket of time you can use as a gift.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great, cozy day!
{and I love those beautiful blue magazine files - Container Store, too?}
How sweet for your boyfriend to bring home roses and a heart candle. Your place bookshelves look great. Very neat and tidy.

ReplyDeleteHow did you paint the IKEA expedit shelves?? Spray paint? How many coats did it take? Did you sand previously? Can you tell I'm now interested in doing this myself... haha.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

What a CUTE BLOG! And that bookshelf has me totally embarassed by my pile of magazines sitting in a basket that I thought really looked quite stylish. And let's not talk about the dead roses on my desk. Thanks for the inspiration!! Marija
