A few more details. The whole reason I called this post High Strung was because that’s the name of the paint on the floor. I was at Sherman Williams with my mom and found a paint chip almost exactly the color of my Franklin planner, I knew that was THE color! The fabric for the …

One Side Down
I have one side of my lower floor (because it is so NOT a basement) done just the way I like it: Looking straight at the side with my desk and The said shelf thing. And the desk. The great thing about getting things for cheap at estate sales, like this $25 desk, that I …
High Strung
When areas of my life seem a bit too out of control for my liking, I feel I must take control some where. Most likely something will be cleaned, organized, or purged. This weekend I did a bit of everything and checked a bunch of things off my list, which made me feel so much …
Holiday Cheer!
Per Amber’s request, more of my holiday decorating. Sciarrino and I had a fun night a few nights ago shopping K Mart and Target for decorations (that was after 2 hours of working out, when was the last time I’ve worked out two hours in a row, I have no idea, but I was whipped). …

Ribbon Jar 3.0
Well Ribbon Jar is totally up and running at the new place, and I love it. Everything on one level and all together. I didn’t have to slow down orders at all, I just haven’t had time to take pictures of it. I still have a bit of organizing to do, and of course I …
Amber Style
I’m still unpacking boxes of all the little stuff. I even have some more things left at my mom’s. Not a whole lot, mostly scrapbooking stuff (so hard to move), and older things, like childhood toys. I had some company this week. Little Violet and her mom. I think I still want to paper the …
Egress
Boy is it time for a catch up on my life. Basically I’ve been moving, and chances are you’ve moved before so you know why I haven’t posted, nothing looks pretty when you’re moving. But let me start further back. So on Thursday I had my first night in the house (well, I’ve sleep here …
