What do these rooms have in common? I'm trying to decorate my new room(mommy comes in this weekend to help) and I love both of these rooms but from what I can see they have very little in common. Can you find anything? I'm trying to figure out what I find so appealing about the both of them and how I can translate them into my own room. Any ideas?
When I was a kid I used to imagine that my bed could fly. Childhood wasn't always a happy time for me and my imagination was a place I could escape to. I was a perpetual day dreamer. I was an only child until I was 8 so my imagination was my favourite plaything and closest friend. Maybe that's why I've always liked fantasy novels and movies, because they were created by people like me. People who lived in their heads and created worlds in which there were heros, where good and evil was clear and there was something to be done about every problem.
I know he isn't someone I want to be with. But the person he showed me, the one I thought he was, I really miss that person.
I have a two bedroom apartment but as I have mentioned before there is a sitting/dining room in the front of the house that is almost never used. The truth is we never found a good use for it. However, it is by far the most lovely room in the house with big windows that over look my beloved park and it's also the biggest room in the house. This room shall be my room. I'm putting curtains on the doors still I can get actual doors and though it doesn't have a closet my loving mother has offered to come in and help me come up with a solution.
A new room of course means new decorating. This room is, more than any other room since my relationship started, my room. And I want it to reflect that. I want it to be a sanctuary and I want to feel like a queen in my room. This all got me thinking about the aforementioned topic of well meaning chaos. I think that's exactly what my new room needs. I want clusters of pictures that mean something to me, I want lots of soft, plush surfaces and piles of well worn books. My theme is of course going to be modern Moroccan with a bohemian tilt. I'm thinking spicy colors with splashes of turquoise, lots of soft fabrics like velvet and silk and a cozy little reading nook next to my desk. I'll keep you posted on the progress, cause I have to say I'm actually really really excited about this. I'm also really excited about having two new roommates to make the place home with. Have any of you gone through a tough breakup? How did you make your life/home feel like your own again? What did you do to help you cope and get better?
What a lovely tattoo, it's so intricate! While we're on the topic of birds I figured I would share a few feather tattoos as well. This one, with the small portrait is just gorgeous.
This is so cute, I wish I knew the story behind it. Perhaps she's a writer? It must have hurt something awful though.
A big feather on the side, it moves nicely with her body don't you think?
I love peacock feathers! A friend of mine has one of her ribs that is forever sticking out of her gorgeous maxi dresses. It always makes her seem like a mysterious exotic queen.
That's right kids! Mommy and Daddy outdid themselves and surprised me with a beautiful brand new macbook. I am in love with her and have named her Kelly, as in Clarkson. We're just getting acquainted so I'm trying to take things slow, a movie here, a download there. But we're back in the blog world! Things will be a bit slow while I upload all my hundreds of files onto my new friend but I wanted to thank everyone for their support and welcome them to the new and improved Kitty Bear Chronicles: Single Ladies Edition.
Hey guys, I'm back for now but since I still don't have a computer(sob!) my posts will be few and far between. My life is feeling a lot like the above movie, and let me tell you, I was not a fan of that movie. I always thought Vince Vaun was such a jerk in the movie that I couldn't stand it. Compared to my ex however Vince is looking like a prince right now. Breaking up is hard to do no matter what way you slice it, but I always feel that keeping a level of maturity, even if you're angry, is so important. Especially when you live together. 
Hello my lovely readers. I've got some more sad news, sadly my boyfriend and I were not able to work out the issues that came up for us while I was in New York so for the next few weeks we will be doing the impossible task of separating stuff, crying it out and deciding who keeps the apartment. As you can imagine, along with starting classes and work and having my sick puppy, I will be rather busy and exceedingly drained. For these reasons I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from blogging till everything settles down. I hope you guys won't forget me and in the mean time I would love any encouragement, kind words or advice you might have for me. Until then...
So I am back home, with my darling little doggy and my both my kitties. Home is a bit insane, there is stuff everywhere but it's still home. There is one very sad downside though. I recently found out that my little dog has cancer. He's 15 and the truth is I should have been expecting his health to start to go but I don't think you're ever really ready for your precious little animal to be sick. Unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done for him so for the next few months he will be on a special diet(home cooked by mama) and steroids and we're just gonna spoil him silly. I hope everything is going well with you guys. My posts are going to be a bit few and far between while I get settled in. But hopefully once things settle down I will be able to get back to the blogosphere.
