As is always the case with the New Year, since January 1st, I have been feeling like I need a change.  I have all these aspirations.  Eat healthier.   Use Corey’s Rosetta Stone that we have had laying around for 4 years (so embarrassing) to learn Spanish.  Go to the YMCA more than twice a week.  This one really hurts because man is my membership expensive.  Live in the moment more.  Change my name (eek!!!)  One aspiration that I have actually been working on is organizing my life.  Well, mostly just our apartment.  Ordering baskets to organize the area underneath our coffee table, putting together a new bookcase to organize  Corey’s millions of DVDs, buying new bathroom supplies that make our guest bath look less like a dorm room.  I can’t stop looking for things to organize.  Nor can I stop looking at the millions of images that make me want to spend all next week on my craft supplies/entryway/desk/bathroom/bedroom/closet.  Let’s look together shall we?

My next undertaking will be my entryway.  Ok so it isn’t really an entryway.  More of a hallway.  But still, I want it to be pretty and functional.  Mostly, I want a gorgeous console table that has lots of storage.

Once I get the console table I so desire, I will immediately be purchasing a wire basket (or several) and an antique toast holder for my mail.  Or maybe I will just purchase them tomorrow.

I am also desperate to make my bathroom look like any/all of these bathrooms.

Also, if I had it my way, I would have this office as well as a combination of the following kitchens.  Or just one.  I’m not too picky.    Just love how cozy the office looks.  I might actually do work from home.  Maybe.  And I would love to have an open shelf in the kitchen to put all of my currently nonexistent colorful cookbooks.

For my craft supplies?  Per chance?
