New Year

2017

As the start of the year came and went it had me thinking. As so many people do they set out to change things about themselves. New year new you? For myself I wanted to push my self and set goals. Short term and long term so that I have things to look forward to but also to be achieving goals and keeping up my motivation. 

1. I want to always try to do my best. I don't want to find myself taking the easy way out or giving up. Putting 110% into the work that I do.

2. Be more present in life. Not always vying for the future but enjoying where I am at in this point in my life. 

3. Try new things because the worst thing that could happen is that you don't like it and you don't do it again, but you could try something amazing that you love.

4. I want to read more. Classics books, books by my favorite celebrities, any books, I want to dive into books and get captivated. 

5. Drink more water, eat more veggies over all be a healthier version of myself.

6. Run more. I've never really been a runner but I feel like it could be very therapeutic.

7. Blaze a trail for my career. Make connections in my industry. Do the best work I can do. Help myself long term.

8. Be a leader not a follower. Be innovative and creative.

9. Work on relationships. Be a better daughter, friend, sister, girlfriend, student. Build close connections and make memories.

10. Make 2017 the best year yet.

Before I started blogging I fell in love with some inspiring interior designers. Following their blogs is what sparked an interest for me in blogging. Expressing my thoughts, designs, and passion in an open space is an amazing feeling. I want to put just a few of my favorite interior design bloggers in the spotlight.

I love to follow Emily around on her Insta Story she is always updating her followers on all her projects. As of right now she is in the middle of her own home renovation. I love to see what she chooses to do to her own house. You can really see her own personal style shine through all of her design choices.

Posting some photos of my dorm room. I loved making this old run down dorm into my little home. I got a lot of inspiration for my room from Pinterest. My Pinterest board is named "Dorm Done Right".

I think your room tells a lot about a person so hopefully you can see who I am through my space.

Late August I went back to school and left behind an unfinished project. I didn't know exactly how this was going to work with there being a 3 hour time difference but so far we have made it work. Having flexible clients was amazing for me especially since I am in school. Shout out to amazing clients!  Before leaving the project sites there was a lot of prep work. I prepped the clients on what was to come, the process and the next steps that were going to happen. I informed workers who were working on my projects and accumulated finishing touches aka accessories so even though I won't be there to finish the room it will still feel as if I was. I prepped the person who if an emergency was to arise on the project. I also prepped the stager who is setting all of the accessories. A lot of prep work goes into working remotely and trust. Working remotely is very different than working in person but just as rewarding and fun!

Here is an update on one of my projects. 

Its about half way complete this project should be wrapped up around early October!
