new beginning...almost

i am entering the blog world . . . again. i tried to have a blog the semester i lived in europe to appease family, but found it a chore for some reason.

but there is a better reason for this blog i think. in 54 days i will be given the keys to my very first apartment that is all my own. no parents, no roommates. just me and my loving schnauzer, sgt. pepper. being the artsy type that i am, i have lately been spending my free time dreaming of how fantastically beautiful and thrift store chic my new place will be. so i thought it might be fun to document how i will be transforming a cheap, not-so-new apartment into my own 760 square foot paradise. all on a budget that one could hardly even call shoestring.

i am going to be beginning some of my projects for my new place soon, so stay posted :)

love, hb
