Moving...

We will be moving in 52 days! Commence OPERATION: Empty the Freezer/Cabinets. I have discovered that we have a really random assortment of food in the apartment that MUST be consumed before we move (less to carry).

Meal planning was fairly easy this week...the next 2 weeks will be interesting. At least this will cut down on our weekly food budget. I may run out of creative ideas though....I consider it a challenge that I accept!

Mrs. A

Menu Monday

I am attempting a new feature on here: Menu Monday. My goal is to make my weekly menu ahead of time. Here goes installment numero uno:

Happy Pi Day!

Teal

I have to say, I love me some teal. Teal bedding, teal accessories, teal scarves, teal clothing, teal furniture:

{Crate and Barrel}

...and now teal walls:

We have been tossing around the idea of painting an accent wall in the new apartment, but what color? Teal might be too bold or too dark if the apartment we choose is lacking in natural light. What about a neutral gray? We're still talking about ordering the couch we like in a warm charcoal to keep the furniture neutral-ish. I could just accessorize until my heart was content....decisions, decisions....

Also, we are loving YoungHouseLove.com's idea for inspiration off of a napkin from Crate and Barrel (for the record, we had them first):

I'll try to work up an inspiration board to work in some of our ideas.....

XOXO,

Boring Bulletin Board

I suffer from BBB Syndrome - you know- boring bulletin board syndrome (duh). I have a rather large bulletin board that was given to me as a child. It has never been painted, and is now missing some wooden knobs. I have been brainstorming ways to utilize it at our new place so it is decorative and functional. Here are some of the ideas I like so far:

I'm thinking maybe we could paint the frame a dark blue (we already have the paint) and then to find a fabric....

XOXO,
Mrs. A
