it would be completely fakso if i only shared the nicer things in life with you, right?
just wanna keep things real here...
and mostly, i need the mess to be validated
so im motivated to keep cleaning and organizing...
so here goes!
*deep breath*
the husband wants to do away with these utility trays at our doorway
but they're complete essentials!! like sunnies, phone, keys, muu's snacks and our vintage map monogram... can you imagine if i went out of the house without any of these??
(i don't bring the "A" out obviously, but you know what i mean..)
i wanted a WALL of rainbow books.
but life's not perfect so this will hafta do for now. :)
i want a fridge filled with stickygrams.
we got these from the best friends wedding!
my favorite one is the one on the right with daniel in an asian squat.
a defiant muu and his color-non-compliant quilts..
the man cave needs a lot of work.
but part of the rules is no female nagging. so im just going to shut the door and pretend its all rainbows and sea breeze in there!
p.s. sharing unedited pictures like this is badshit scary.
like posting my makeup-less mug shot on facebook.
i mean.. i didn't even light a candle to soften the lighting or anything... :)
xx
I love your A, globe and rainbow books! J will never let me have those books!
ReplyDeletei need a whole wall for dramatic effect! but this will hafta do for now! we had to cart home (my parent's) so many books because we have all of two shelves of storage here!boooo...
Deletemy house looks like yours right now, I´m very sick so I´m in bed all the time =(
ReplyDeleteoh dear, im so sorry to hear... hope you feel better soon! im slowly working through the mess! *fingers crossed*
DeleteIs that the baby cot in the study?
ReplyDeletesure is! the bubs, muu and daniel all fit into that little space cos they come with wayyyy too much baggage! poor munchkins!
DeleteWe have K in our room coz there isn't anywhere else to put her cot. I'm sure bubs will love being close to daddy and muu all the time ;)
Deletefingers crossed! the other option was to have the cot in our bedroom! (which im trying to avoid cos im in denial! and think that babies are born to sleep for 10 hours like k. wooleesseee!!)
Deleteomg u call that mess?!
ReplyDeletei was tempted to take pictures of the boxes unpacked in the corner with clothes spilling out.. but didn't wanna scare you!
Deletepromise you, they're there! staring menacingly at me as i blog! :)
inside insight! i miss your tokyo apartment!
ReplyDeletethis is it! there is no more insight. its soooooo tiny!!
Deletei miss my tokyo apartment too! it had sensible storage space! our umbrellas are currently hanging on our ironing board with our AC units! bahhhhh sexy!!!
how does your place look so spacious and organized! as hard as i tried to make my bookshelf look chic, utility took WAY over. btw - if you're interested in jazzing up those trays, here's a cute tutorial to add stitching to it to add some color! :)
