<> how about a few of my favorite movie quotes to brighten up your day <>
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“he’s all right! aren’t you, cat? poor cat! poor slob! poor slob without a name! the way i see it i haven’t got the right to give him one. we don’t belong to each other. we just took up one day by the river. i don’t want to own anything until i find a place where me and things go together. i’m not sure where that is but i know what it is like. it’s like tiffany’s.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“oh! every morning when i wake up and i see there’s a whole new other day, i just go absolutely ape!”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“there were gardeners to take care of the gardens, and a tree surgeon on a retainer. there was a boatman to take care of the boats: to put them in the water in the spring, and scrape their bottoms in the winter. there were specialists to take care of the grounds: the outdoor tennis court and the indoor tennis court, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool. and there was a man of no particular title who took care of the small pool in the garden for a goldfish named george.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“i’ve got to do something about the way i look. i mean a girl just can’t go to sing sing with a green face.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“no, i’m not mad. i’m hurt, and disappointed, and… and mad.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“do you have a silk nightgown with rosebuds?”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
-“no. the blues are because you’re getting fat and maybe it’s been raining too long, you’re just sad that’s all. the mean reds are horrible. suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. do you ever get that feeling?”

mini blog series : the high and the low
December 3, 2012
i have come to find over the years in our many homes we have lived in that there seems to be a game of balance i play when trying to decorate each place. i have learned many lessons and have come to realize that sometimes it is better to buy the more expensive piece you truly love in the first place, rather then buying a cheaper piece you will replace ten times before buying the more expensive one in the end. since we are on a budget, i find it sometimes hard to find a balance between inexpensive items while still having a few of those expensive things mixed in. however, for our style, i do find it important to mix in less expensive finds with the more expensive ones to give a well rounded feel within our home. so . . . i thought i would start a mini blog series highlighting a new room in our house each time with what i have decided to spend a bit more on, those things we will keep and cherish forever, and the things i have felt okay about spending a bit less on and still love how they interact and play within the room. a bit of high and low if you will. so here today i start with our bedroom.
i have found with this bedroom, it hasn’t been so much high (expensive) and low (inexpensive) but more of a medium and how low can you go. we have spent the most on accessories in this room. for instance we spent probably twice as much on the bedding as we did on the dressers. our reasoning for this was that our bedding can go from place to place and still work yet, because of this particular rooms size and shape the furniture may not be able to travel along with us in future homes. the side table isn’t something we bought for this particular room but is one of the higher priced finds in it. the bed itself is just a metal frame totaling to only about $60 and the dressers and clothing rack are just ikea pieces, our big box store finds if you will. however, i will say i did spend a bit more on ribbons to wrap the clothing rack in to give it a more unique touch. the overall esthetic for our bedroom is very simple with pops of color throughout as it is quite small and i felt it best to keep it that way. all in all, i’m quite happy with the way it turned out.
where did you get that: duvet cover, west elm // quilt (similar), anthropologie // sheets, west elm // lace doily on bed, good knits // clock on side table, areaware // clothing rack, ikea // dressers (2), ikea // orange pillow on bed, ikea // yellow lamp on dresser, west elm // world print, urban outfitters // hanging light, urban outfitters // deer hook, anthropologie // kramer, priceless
a really, short, more like thursday thought on tuesday

have you ever put on way too many layers? like every piece of clothing you own was suddenly calling your name and you felt you should probably put it all on. . .and you don’t realize just how ridiculous this all is until you go outside to feel it’s only about fifty degrees so you probably didn’t really need two sweaters, a coat, a scarf, a hat, and gloves . . . .? obviously i have.
i wore: hat, j.crew outlet // scarf, j.crew // sweater, thrifted // overalls, vintage lee jeans // boots, hunter // wrist worms, sandra juto // purse, vintage coach // coat, j.crew outlet
one small house and a few goofy faces later
November 29, 2012
have i ever mentioned that my dad is a really amazing photographer? he is! a while back, my dad had this idea of shooting “portrait” photos of me (and kramer) in our new quaint home. well, we finally made it happen. after loads of procrastinating on putting this house together (on my part) my father and his co-worker trent were at last able to make the trip over, last wednesday, the day before thanksgiving. if we didn’t realize just how small our humble abode was before, let me tell you, we certainly do now. you should have seen us trying to move around in there with camera equipment and whatnot all about the place. it was madness. . . and let’s not even get into the multitude of goofy faces i can make for a camera . . . well, those two somehow managed to work beyond the spaces small square footage and work with my beyond quirky faces, to still, somehow, make the charlesworth home look magazine worthy. now that is talent.
