There is no one else in the world like you. There is no one who has experienced every single experience you have or shares the exact same outlook that you do. You bring something unique and wonderful into this world every single day you are in it. You are one of a kind and while it might be nice to admire the bodies, personalities, achievements and other attributes belonging to others, you can only be you.

Take what you have and take the best care of it you can. Honor the space that is your body. Exercise your mind and clean out the clutter and chaos that comes by way of toxic relationships, bad habits and vintage thought processes.

Carry yourself with the care and pride you do your favorite piece of jewelry or clothings. Cherish yourself. You do not have to look a certain way, be a certain size or be attached to someone to be gorgeous, loveable and meaningful to this world. You are priceless and the moment you realize that your whole life will open up.
Someone is looking at you with admiration right now. They see greatness in you. Now see it in yourself.

Tell me, what do you love about you?

Another Decor Post!

Well I don't know why my blog is underlining everything, but I guess I will make this post anyways.
I have been redecorating my room recently with the addition of the new bed and all, and I feel that it is really going somewhere. I thought I would do another decor post since people told me the last one was fun to look at.


The picture below is pretty intense color wise, and I really like it! I can see how it wouldn't work at all in a small or short room though, so until I get that huge house in Boston (HAHA) I am going to have to stick with a more mellow color theme.



I am completely head over heels in love with the purple dresser below! (oh, the underlines have disappeared!) It is so weird and amazing to look at and I think the idea is a really great one. It would make a great bar or even a closed bookcase.





Take a look at the chandelier below! All of you know I am chandelier crazy and this one is pretty amazing. I am wondering if I can make one myself eventually, maybe out of white coated clothing hangars?





This looks like an excellent DIY. Really cool shelves made out of wine boxes and coated with vintage wallpaper.





While I am not to crazy about the bookcases on the right, I am madly in love with the ones on the left. It is an excellent way to break up the look of a solid wall of books. It seems like this would be an easy project if you can get the measurements for the wood correct.





This is going to be my next project. I love love love the look. Really amazing antique furniture seems to easily fall into my lap up here in Mass, so as soon as a free dresser that is similar drops into my lap I will have an amazing rainbow dresser. I have a dresser at the moment that wouldn't work simply because the front of it is entirely surfaced by the drawers.






If I ever have a yard (and I'm sure it would be a tiny one up here) I want it to be groomed like the one below. No need to mow and I could grow herbs and dwarf fruit trees in a really organized fashion. I have saved this picture for 2 years now and I love it more and more.
So I hope you have enjoyed the latest decor post. I am going to clean up my room this afternoon and take photos of the new stuff and setup. Have a great weekend!
