they say that home is where the heart is

today's subject: jordan's apartment

okay, i'm going to share with you a bit of my vision...

these are the things i love. i'm obsessed with the idea of merging these different styles to create one steady and consistent theme.


okay first of all we have the quilt. i love quilts. a fun cottagey feel...delight.


seriously digging the red lotus lamp. AND i like how it pairs with that super cute thing next to it!
{yes i called that a thing...that's how foreign all of this actually is to me}


bold green table with yellow flowers.


just a fun accent.



okay sorry- was this too graphic? i don't want actual zebras {or their skin} in my room. this is a mere representation of my love for animal prints :)

i was talking with sarah a while back, and we were trying to figure out how to do this effectively. i mean...these things combined could equal one big, nasty mess. but with the right vision, and proper execution, it could equal home.

i do not want my home to just be a bunch of different things that i like, thrown into one little space. i want it to be a collection of things that represent a general mood, theme, and personality.

so here is the message i want my place to share {i think}:

i'm feminine and delicate {quilt, cottage style, flowers}
but i'm strong and independent; delicate does not equal fragile {the color red, animal print}

i have a wild side and love to have fun {different textures and patterns}
but that is paired with a constant and powerful vulnerability [powerful vulnerability...interesting oxymoron i use to describe my heart] and gentleness {soft throws, candles}

so...what are your thoughts? you girls are much better at this stuff than i am!
do you think that this could work? have you run into similar dilemmas? how do i approach this??

uncomfortable

okay so i have an update for you...


closet door: 3
jordan: 0
boy: 1

though i can't take any credit for getting that awful thing down, i will say that i chose the boy who would have the brawn to come in and get the job done. therefore, i will consider this our victory {and i think he will be okay with this}.  either way, i am just so glad to have this curtain up in its place- it makes for a much more enjoyable morning experience!

okay.
project day 1:

the sun on my face gives me hope to press on.
breaking free,
i move forward until my feet touch the water.
meeting the edge,
i kneel and let the great pacific wash over my wounds.
breathing deep, 
i take in all that she longs to provide,
standing still,
i experience the beauty of my Maker,
turning back, 
i move toward a new day.
the sun on my face gives me hope to press on. 

happy tuesday.
xoxo
