I finally got that big facebook monkey off my back. Was this getting in the way of my blog...I'm inclined to think so -- yes, it certainly was eating up a lot of my time.
Since I've been at my new job I've been taking advantage of the library and taking out
a slew of books on home decor and design. The interesting thing about home design books is that they very quickly become out of date. Any design book from the nineties looks positively arcane, so I limit myself to manuals and books from 2005 on.
Yesterday I got Apartment Therapy - the eight step home cure, and it reads kind of like a self help book, but it was very useful indeed.
And today after watching an episode of The Wire (I can understand approximately 65% of the show, but I still watch it obsessively) I sat down with my inspiration notebook and a copy of Elle Decor and looked for images that moved me. I found Elle Decor not to be my style, but in a way that was refreshing, it gets a little tiring just looking at magazines that showcase Flea Market style and Country Kitchens. I found a couple of images I really liked and an idea for some wall art from Blik.com
