decor inspiration...

as always, i'm collecting inspiration for our new apartment (that has yet to be chosen)... can't believe we only have about 4 1/2 weeks until we move! ack!! we've looked at one place so far (which we liked, but may be a tiny bit expensive for the amount of space), with one or two more on tap for this weekend. the onslaught should come after people give their notices on may 1st *much like ourselves!* can't wait! i've been budgeting and marking so many things on etsy as favorites (fabric, art, etc) -- and we will have a trip to ikea in our future for furniture (read: sofas!) once we get settled in. but for now, collecting collecting collecting. ideas ideas ideas.

home office.

i am very much hoping that when we find our new apartment we will have a small nook for a little home office. just for the laptop and a printer and some artwork and some pens and paper. a place where i can keep all of my etsy paperwork and receipts, where we can balance our checkbooks and send emails. where the boyfriend can sit to work on homework if he needs to. i have a great little vintage teacher's desk (that i'm currently using as a sewing desk) that we could use... but it will all come down to how much space we have (and how much $$ i have for a new sewing desk ;)). keeping my fingers crossed!
