Goals for our new place:
keep clean.
no clutter.
don't buy wall art or decorations. We have a whole room with them and I don't want them! i have a plan.
save for the amazing leather chair at crate and barrel.
if i buy something it has to serve a purpose.

boards- i can now ride to work and the postoffice.

I took these photos 2 years ago and Jacob wants them displayed. awe.

hope chest- H.S. graduation present from G-ma. This is my most treasured piece of furniture.

Train case- Gift from James (bleubird vintage) remember my coffee table that my uncle saved? HERE

floral chair- My friend grew up with this chair (there is red lipstick doodles in the back by him at age 4)
mirror- this belonged to my aunts when they grew up.
stand and mirror- gift from AndrewModern. love these!
wooden chair- thrifted and reupholstered with pillowcase by moi.

coasters- from surf heritage when I was in California.
huge calendar- crate and barrel. Christmas present from Jacob.
horse painting- by my friend Kellee in N.Y. I miss her.

random drawer- from my friend chelsea before she moved to spain.
feathers on wood- I did this 4 years ago when we lived in the Hawthorne house.
polaroids- vacations we have been on. The little green box is full of them.

clipboard for daily to-do list.
envelopes for packaging.
camera on hand for my new project.
cool lighter- gift from Trav

AndrewModern housewarming present. It's my first Eames piece.
I wanted to make a polaraoid calendar like my friend Marc's. Now I will try it with my instax camera.

This is my friends calendar. GENIUS! why didn't I think of this?

Photos, Cd's, Records, Diana. I need to bring the rest of our records home.

yellow chair- my little brother bought me this the first time he had cash in his hands. instead of buying himself something he took me shopping. he has always been like that. now this chair is old and ragged but i love it and its so comfy.
In the next couple months this will be totally different because thats just how we are. My salon changes all the time as well.
I wanted to title this post with my style like on apartment thearpy but I have no idea what I would call it?
If you could title this post what would it be?

I'd title it "Living Sentimental" because you've got so many connections to people and events in your home. It's lovely!

I love that you flipped the couch to the other side, and desk to the other wall. Works! and makes for a better view when you walk in through front door!
I want to run home now and redo my living room. I am in love!!

I absolutely love this post. I have a question about the calendar. Would you just change the order of days out at the end of the month? Since they also change when the month changes. LOVELOVELOVE the idea!
