In the Dirt

I'm heading back to my apartment tomorrow. The past three weeks went so fast, I don't know where the time went! I always dislike the commute back to Ottawa, getting up at oh dark stupid in the morning and the uncomfortable 4 hour trip in a cramped bus with creepy people. I think this has to do with my excitement for graduation, no more commuting! Anyways, I've been taken with bedroom decor lately and long for the day when I can decorate my bedroom how ever I like and when I don't have to deal with bland beige walls.

I love StumbleUpon. It introduces me to new websites I would have never discovered on my own. I get updates sent to my e-mail of websites I might like and a few days ago, I was directed to the amazing design website Desire to Inspire. After browsing through pages of incredible inspiration, I was wowed by the home of Brazilian pattern designer Lione Monte. This home is so me. White walls with small pops of colour in the fabric, which is very practical, especially for small spaces. This design aesthetic is definitely something I want to achieve in my next apartment. Take a look at Monte's cute home:

If You Rescue Me

I'm sick. A mere day after moving. Time to start popping vitamin C pills like skittles and keeping tissues with me wherever I go. I'm not fond of being sick, especially when in such close proximity to strangers in class, sneezing and sniffling. There are some nice things about being sick though, like using it as a crutch to get out of things you don't enjoy, like school work, people you don't like and getting up early. 

It's been a while since I did a decor post, and seeing as I'll be in bed with the sniffles, a bedroom post seems appropriate and fitting. LivingEtc just oozes decor inspiration, which is what my bedroom is in need of.

Healing Begins

I went browsing around Chapters with my friend, with Starbucks drinks in tow. I like to look through the books on display and came across a few books that I would have loved to sit down and read, but I didn't allow myself to buy anything, because I already have a few books that I bought and haven't read yet. 

As I was driving home, I noticed how fall it was outside. The skies were swirling with dark grey clouds and the sun was shining on the other side of the sky, lighting up the yellow fields. As I drove along my road, I noticed bits of tree leaves turning orange. It was beautiful and it made me so happy. Anyways, here are some photos that I think are pretty.

White Room

As of late, I've been watching a lot of HGTV (don't make fun!), more specifically, House Hunters International. It's a pretty decent show, and it really makes you think about what you want in a new home. After getting a taste of different houses around the world, I've been warming up to the concept of white bedrooms with white walls, furniture and fixtures.
