{ not just for children }

Hey, lovely readers!

Sorry for being MIA yesterday. I was feeling under the weather from all of the heat this week and decided to take it easy while working from bed, but the poor little blog got the short end of the stick.

I'm wrapping up a client project this morning (although, I always say I'm wrapping them up and tend to  endlessly find more things to tweak...), drinking my coffee, and trying to gather pieces of my brain. I feel like lately they're scattered all over Chicago. 

Anyway. Let me get to the point. I was wrapping up a different client project a couple of days ago, and as I was gathering some color scheme inspiration for the sofa, I had a realization:

See those Moroccan throw pillows perched on that beauty-full couch? Yeah, those are from Posh Tots.

See these grey bordered roman shades? Yeah. Pottery Barn Kids.

So what do you think? Am I crazy, or could this stuff totally extend beyond a nursery or a playroom?

Thanks for stopping in! lovelovelove.

{ One of those weeks...}

Monday did not play nice. After waking up feeling sick and tired, and a major flub in one of my classes, I finally came home from the library around 8pm ready to take a shower and wash off the bad karma of the day. 

But then my shower door broke. And while I was standing inside the shower to fix it (which did not work) I accidently hit the faucet knob and was soaked with freezing cold water from head to toe while fully clothed and wearing shoes.

I went back to my homework and finally laid down to hit the hay around 1:15 but could.not.fall.asleep which was confusing as ever because I was exhausted. I finally got to sleep around 3 and woke up 3 and a half hours later to get ready for the day. Lovely.

I have a quick break before a meeting about a group project (I'm currently working on 3. OY) and then it's off to work I go. Since my procrastinate now and panic later tactic is giving me gray hair, I'm going to switch things up. From now on I'll  stay on campus in the library or Starbucks after work for three hours to do homework/tend to other obligations. I find that if I go home I'm too easily distracted and getting anything finished takes twice as long. I'm hoping this new method of working will keep me ahead of the game while still allowing for some relaxation in the evenings. Because sometimes a girl needs a glass of wine and free time to browse the blogosphere. 

What about you guys? How do you stay productive? 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Thank you very much for stopping by.
