eastern market

I recently purchased this mirror from Eastern Market in D.C. and I just couldn't resist sharing my excitement with you all! From the gorgeous teal color and the antique style, it has officially become my pride and joy and a wonderful addition to my room. I just can't decorate enough!

Which is why I have decided Eastern Market is an adequate comparison to South Congress for my Austin Miss List : DC Hit List. Although it is an outdoor market of booths and tents, it has the delightful feel just like a day of shopping and grubbing on SoCo does.

D.C. 8/13.

my time to shine

Silly lil me forgot to brag about my exquisite carpentry skills.

Not only did I quickly pick up that moving across the country in the worst snow storm in history would be difficult....but taking on an 8-drawer chest of drawers from Ikea puts up quite a fight as well. Here are the before pictures of my room and the task at hand.

No autographs please...

Here are a few snapshots of my room via iPhone....hope you can get a feel for what it looks like...I love it so far!!! It is a great space to come home to after a long and cold D.C. day.

I built that 8-piece chest of drawers with my two bare hands....gotta love shopping at Ikea and doing it all yourself! As you can see, I have a little lounge area where I can work on my computer and what not, followed by my area of slumber....my sanctuary, if you will.

There is more to come once all 4 roommates are moved in and the whole place is decorated and ready for guests!!!!
