all things lindsay. (new decor, part 1)

hi.  my name is lindsay.  and i am blogging slacker.  but right now, i have a babe asleep and another watching a movie that i'm kind of wishing i would've previewed before allowing....(planet 51).  regardless, i thought i would share my redecorating adventures with you!

when we moved into this house, i, for whatever reason, had a hard time decorating.  i think it was because this house is double the size of our last one and it was all just a bit overwhelming.  but, little by little, i've done what i could- financially and mentally.  how do you eat an elephant?  one bite at a time.  right, mom?

so, here is my first and best accomplishment: my dressing room!!  i have wanted a room like this for a very long time.  it is actually a dressing/craft/running/all things lindsay room.  with a house full of boys and their stuff, i needed a space all to my own.  a space where i can:
-just sit and enjoy the pretty color of the walls (turquoise mist, to be exact)
-feel at peace while getting ready in the morning with all my essentials in one spot
-get out a craft or sewing project and just leave the mess if i don't have time to finish
-keep all craft and sewing stuff stored together....somehow the inventory just gets more extensive as time goes on...
-keep all my running gear together ready for a moment's notice run
-have a door that locks if i need a break from a certain nosey 5 year old  :)
-hide christmas and birthday presents
-keep my calendar
-hang things that are encouragements to me as a busy full-time working mom of 2 (ok, let's be honest...3...4, if you count the dog)
-post my running accomplishments
-etc.

so, here she is!  i <3 her.  maybe she'll inspire you to do something just for you this new year.  you deserve it, i'm certain of that.

 

the table you see below is a double sided drop leaf table that opens to a PERFECT craft table!  it's my mom's and she's letting me use it.  it's awesome!
