Packing and a Hot Makeover

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.)

    Your 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.

    Yes, 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.

    The 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!

    1. 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…
