Sneak Peek at my New Place!

Right off the bat, I'm sorry about all of the random pillows posted to your dashboard courtesy of moi last night. I didn't realize that my polyvore was hooked up to my blog and posting everything here. I'm a bit  lot technologically challenged. Thanks for sticking with me!

Also, all of my art stuff is packed up as I slowly take loads up to my new home in Toronto, so there is no doodle or painting for you today.
But I do have some goodies for you to make up for it!

1. The first pillow I've ever made (and by that I mean my Mom sewed the whole thing while I tried to help)

Isn't it beautiful? I love the coral. The fabric is from Tonic Living and can be purchased here.

2. Also, I'm giving y'all a VERY brief sneak peak of my place. It's in a chaotic state and I am not officially moving in until this weekend, when I will hopefully get it looking all pretty, so don't be harsh:

It's got a long way to go, but I'm so in love with it!
Happy mid week my loves.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

This weekend, my boyfriend and I made the short trip to Toronto to see the Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Socks. It was the perfect outing for rainy day weather (although I always prefer to go when the Skydome is open..such a great view of the CN Tower!). Even though the Jays lost, it was a fun day trip. 

Don't blue jays have the most beautiful colour pallet in their feathers? Sometimes the most gorgeous inspiration can be drawn from nature! See?!:

What did YOU get up to this weekend!?

Big News: Signed a Lease

Besides my first year at university which I spent living in campus residence, I have lived in the same house since I was born. It has been a blessing which has allowed me to save money, avoid student debt, and not have to worry too much about daily tasks such as cooking and grocery shopping.

Pursuing my dream career in the big city, however, means big changes. I've been on the hunt for some affordable housing in Toronto close to my design school for the fall. Recognizing that my own apartment was not realistic financially, I settled on student housing. All I wanted was my own washroom. 

I may have gone slightly over my planned monthly budget (oopsy), but I've found the perfect room!

The room is 12' by 19'. Lots of room for all of my design ideas!

This picture doesn't do it justice, but this is my extra large WALK IN CLOSET, maybe big enough for my very own dressing room.

Here is the huge shower in my private washroom!

And my big soaker tub! I love bubble baths after a long day.

I can't paint the walls or change any of the fixed elements, but I think it's a good blank and neutral canvas to create a space that is completely me. Stay tuned each day this week where I discuss my design ideas for the different areas of the room!

ps. I feel so grown up! Ah! Tell me about YOUR first rental.
All photos sent to me by my future landlord. Better quality pics to come when I move in and redecorate.
