oh the "s"

i moved into a house with some lovely girls in march of 2008...rach moved out in september (tear)...then in november we moved into a new place...then the next november we moved into a new place...adri moved back to canada in march (tear)...shalina moved out in may (tear) and craig moved in...then craig moved out in july (hooray they're married...i'd still kind of like shalina to move back in though, tear)...erin and nicole moved in...we had a major debacle...carrie moved in...ashley moved in...and thoughout the ENTIRE process, my room has looked EXACTLY the same. i decided it was time for some refreshing, renewing, you get the point.this was my favorite element of decor (i kept it - unchanged) i love the look of that "s" next to the giant frame. darling. favorite. little did i know the "s" would soon make it's way onto (literally) every wall of my room...

this is the corner of my desk (that's my computer chillin there...) - i made that print - it says something about life being better with laughter. TRUTH. and the "s" mug is from anthropologie - i got it for Christmas back in the Toll Brothers days from a girl named Lindsay...enough about that...this was my OTHER favorite area of my room (which also remained, untouched). that "s" is from anthropologie as well...and is also old...as is everything else. mom and dad bought me that mirror (which i love, originally inspired by katelin - who gave one to anna - back when we were in high school) when i moved out on my own for the first time...and i bought those hurricane candle things shortly thereafter. it is the perfect little dresser space. maybe a little busy - but i'm happy with it. (i am contemplating adding pulls to the dresser itself...)this is my FAVORITE and NEWEST addition ...a gallery wall...directly above my bed...right when you walk in the room...OH MY GOSH! so cute! the pictures are some of my very favorite people...anna and jenny are on there, sara and emily, gan and kenz, my family, rach, jenny, becky the elephant, my sweet M girl...oh it's just the BEST...and of course, another "s"! ha!and here the view including the new shelving area and the gallery wall - i'm so happy with how it turned out (still need SOMETHING) for the shelf on the right side - my dead lady champagne rest isn't quite right - but it's getting there! i actually get a little excited walking in my room now...nothing like a gallery wall to make my house a home!
