heavenly space

I have one particular website that I visit daily, if not multiple times a day, Desire To Inspire, it's just an absolute pleasure to the eye to see what they come up with to post every day. Then just a few minutes ago when I was looking on Apartment Therapy I came across a house tour of Kim, who is one half of Desire to Inspire. Looking at each pcture it is as if she took all my favorite design elements and threw them all in one house, and it actually works too! Especially the 6 cats element, I aspire to become a crazy cat lady with at least 6 cats.

Also check out the couch too! She and her boyfriend custom made it, and now it's all I can think about when I sit at home on my crappy couch. I'm thinking that with my connections (step father owning a custom furniture company) that I should be able to get one made easily. It's on the to-do list, among about 149 other things.

amazing bedrooms

So it's an early morning here at the box office and all I can seem to think about is my bed. I can't have my bed for another 7 hours so I'll just look at other beds I found on Apartment Therapy. The 6th one especially makes me want to go back to sleep.

book blog

I've just started reading a new book, The Host by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight author) and I would highly recommend it to anyone already, I'm only on the 2nd Chapter.
Here's a review I found on it on Amazon.com.

From Publishers Weekly In this tantalizing SF thriller, planet-hopping parasites are inserting their silvery centipede selves into human brains, curing cancer, eliminating war and turning Earth into paradise. But some people want Earth back, warts and all, especially Melanie Stryder, who refuses to surrender, even after being captured in Chicago and becoming a host for a soul called Wanderer. Melanie uses her surviving brain cells to persuade Wanderer to help search for her loved ones in the Arizona desert. When the pair find Melanie's brother and her boyfriend in a hidden rebel cell led by her uncle, Wanderer is at first hated. Once the rebels accept Wanderer, whom they dub Wanda, Wanda's whole perspective on humanity changes. While the straightforward narrative is short on detail about the invasion and its stunning aftermath, it shines with romantic intrigue, especially when a love triangle (or quadrangle?!) develops for Wanda/Melanie. 10-city author tour.

I'm in a bad mood so I think I'm needing a Kittie fix right now. (Hoping this will get me out of my funk). Enjoy the amazingness that is kitties!

Seeing Red

So I want to paint my living room red. I know it's a hard colour to go about, in terms of making sure you get the right shade, but I just really want my living room to be warm and cozy. Right now it's painted a very pale, very cold feeling, purpley/grayish colour, and it just feels so cold and empty. I want to walk into the room and feel like it's warmer and cozier and comfortable. See, here's the thing. I only have one window in there and it doesn't get any light during the day, the only time there really is any light that gets to it is in the evening when the sun is setting (on those rarer and rarer sunny days). So there in lies the problem. Am I going to be making a mistake by making it feel small and in closed? Or will it have the effect that I want, warm and cozy?

summer lovin'

So I was sitting here at work and thinking about the summer, you know, since we're at the end of September and it seems to be getting colder and colder lately. And you know what? I had a pretty fantastic summer! I got to go camping with some work peeps (which was a blast), I got to then go camping again at my parents cottage on probably the hottest weekend we had all summer, you know you really can't beat swimming in the ocean for hours! Also I think I've seen my sister Laura Mae, who's an actress based out of Toronto, the most this summer than I have in total in the last 3 years. So all in all it was pretty fantastic. This is not to say that I'm not looking forward to the winter though too. Snowy days/nights? It really doesn't get much better than that. I gotta say I love living in Nova Scotia because of all the seasons!!
