five things :: mess around the house

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... :)

  6. 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! :)
