currently wanting

This beautiful quilt for only $19.99 right now at Urban Outfitters, and these lovely curtains for $24 as UO at well. And, can we also talk about how perfect those white wood floors are? I would love to have a bedroom with these white walls and lovely flooring like that. It's almost sad to think that even with this quilt and curtains, they'll just look mediocre in our apartment with dingy walls and as-is cream colored carpet. 

And speaking of white, interior design, and all the things I wish I could do to our apartment...how cool would this be in your homeoffice/work space? 

This Idea Paint found here is white, dry erase paint. I always thought chalkboard paint was neat, but this is 10 times better, and even grown up. One of the first things on my list when I finally get some creative freedom with our living spaces. 

Finally, here is a photo I found from Bri's blog. I just love the thin table, because me and Ryan have a few problems in this house it would solve

1. Where to put all of our camera. I have my Canon DSLR, 2 point and shoots, a Polaroid Land, and another Polaroid camera. Ryan has a point and shoot and a Polaroid of his own. They are such nice decoration, but we have nowhere to put them- this would solve that problem! 
2. Ryan has tons of records and this is nice for storage 
3. Our apartment is small, so we have little room for decorating or storage, but this small amount of space manages to do both! 
4. Hanging the poster above it is lovely. We have a decent amount of 'art' hung, but it's all in the studio room above Ryan's music equipment. Not to sound needy or anything, but I'd kind of like some decoration in a room where I actually enjoy being.

The workspace on the right was unsourced (wehearit) but how beautiful is that workspace? I would get so much done in there. 

** and on a totally different note, today is Ryan's 21st birthday and I am nowhere near him ): Being in LA seems to have it's perks (though they are few and far between these days), but I would much rather be in the dreary, freezing, disgusting, rainy Columbus Ohio if it meant being in our apartment with Ryan, opening gifts, drinking, and celebrating his birthday together...just the two of us. As much as I want him to have a fun birthday, the selfish part of me wishes he wasn't...just because I hate the thought of him being out and his friends being able to do all the fun things while in the girlfriend 3,000 miles away, wanting to just postpone his birthday a couple weeks. But since that's not the case, I am taking this time to say, on my blog, Happy Birthday Ryan. Thank you for being one of the most loving and supportive people in my life. I hope this birthday bring you joy and contentment with life, and tons of amazing memories {that I hope to be included in}. I promise that as soon as I return, I will do everything I can to make a day super special and we'll recelebrate the entire day! I love you, happy 21st!
