Packing and a Hot Makeover
Written by whoorl · Filed Under hair thursday, i love products, photos
1. You all. I feel as though I will never stop unpacking. Whenever I tell myself that YES INDEED THAT DAY WILL COME, the angsty lyric “never ever ever ever, don’t you even think it” plays in a loop throughout my brain. (At the end of “Joe Lies.” In Say Anything! Duh.) Here is a snapshot of the one room I FEEL as though I’ve spent days on.
This is probably the most organized room in the house as of 2:46pm PST.
(Long ass sigh.)
2. Since I will undoubtedly be huffing cardboard for the remainder of the week, please enjoy a new video series entitled Gone Style’s Five Minute Makeover. (Then you can explain to me how I got so lucky as to work with Rebecca Woolf and Josie Maran because, well, DUDE.)

February 8th, 2010 5:28 pmI should have come down this week instead of last so that I could help you unpack. Or take Wito to the beach with me.
But DUDE – you’re finally in there! I can’t wait to see the final result after you and D have your way.

February 8th, 2010 8:03 pmOh, I feel your pain. (Between 2003 and 2007 I moved 5 times. FIVE TIMES of packing, throwing away, loading, unloading, unpacking, throwing more away, and rearranging. Oh, the rearranging.)
Like I said, I feel your pain. Best of luck…

February 8th, 2010 11:38 pmYou made it out of your last house, so you will make it in to this one…one day :)
Unpacking (and packing) is so one of those moments where you wish you could just wiggle your nose and poof, it’d be done.
Love the Gone Style video, very cool!

February 9th, 2010 2:57 amGood thing you’re not sporting a big baby belly yet. At least you can still bend over. Good luck!
Great, now I have Joe Lies stuck in my head.

Second, WHO is the second to last celeb you show in the hair portion? Because I’m afraid I’m gonna need that hair. So cute.

February 11th, 2010 12:54 pmYour hutch is fly. Actually can a hutch ever be called fly? For that matter, does anyone even call anything fly?
I am assuming that is one of D’s midcentury items. The space looks wonderful and I know it will be stellar.

February 12th, 2010 5:17 pmYes, indeed that day WILL come. No one is going to tell WHEN, however. We moved back into our home 18 months ago after a renovation and I just found a box the other day in the linen closet – “THAT’S where that was all this time!” It felt a little like Christmas, but totally different.
Cool room, with all the light. Can’t wait to see the “after” picture. There will be one, yes?
Continued good luck. Breathe.

February 13th, 2010 8:18 amThe orange looks so good in that room!! Can’t wait to see the progress. Unpacking does take forever–but the results are so worth it!

February 14th, 2010 12:08 pm1. Ugh, God…we are moving at the end of the month (as you can tell by my internet-surfing and my husband’s Wii-playing right now instead of packing…what?).
2. I nearly died with the “Say Anything” reference, as I use that quote all the time, as well as:
“YOU MUST CHILL! YOU MUST CHILL!”
“Not in my ear…NOT IN MY EAR.”
“Tim lies…Tim li-ies…” (Tim is my husb)
“I MAKE YOUR LIVES BETTER!”
“I dream about it.”
Okay, back to work…
