In honor of everything our planet has done for us, it deserves a little recognition.

RAISED GARDEN BED INSPIRATION

In an effort to be more sustainable I have decided to build raised garden beds, but I haven't decided on the design and style I want to go with. Here are some inspiration pictures that I have been looking at to give me ideas of what I want to do.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

I thought since today is April Fool's Day I would post a few pictures of some cute and funny pictures (honestly they have nothing to do with my blog other than I thought it was appropriate for today!)

VALENTINE'S DAY

Hope everyone had a great and romantic Valentine's Day. I spent the day working, which was fine, but I got an awesome present. While my present wasn't by any means romantic, it didn't matter because I needed it and LOVED it so much. Aaron washed the outside of my car and the inside, which was filled with dog fur!!! I'm such a happy camper now.

I Heart You

What did you get for Valentine's Day?

TO DESIGN OR NOT TO DESIGN?

To design or not to design has been the big question on my mind the past few weeks. I am trying to decide on if I should go back to school for graphic design or if I should pursue an interior design job full steam ahead. My boyfriend thinks I should try to get an interior design job, but I just can't stop the desire to learn more about graphic design.

Lately I have been doing a lot of research on typography, letterpressing, and graphic design. It is such an interesting world and I am fascinated that people can create such beautiful and meaningful work. Here are some examples that I am in LOVE with:

MY KIDS

Since I have received my new camera for Christmas I haven't really had the chance to get out and test it, so I have mainly been taking pictures of things around the house. Those things just happened to be my kids, which turn out to be my cats! So I apologize now if you don't care for kitties, but you are about to see some very cute pictures!







Oh and I had to throw in a picture of my other big kid! Of course playing in the snow!

2.04.2012

So today is the day...my new blog's web address is now http://www.designremix.blogspot.com/! Hope you continue to check it out every once in awhile!

Oh and I wanted to throw in a picture of glamour to celebrate it being the weekend! Have fun!

PICTURE OF THE DAY


I love the void of any color. The lack of any color makes this staircase feel creepy and mysterious, but it allows for the viewer to clearly see the details and beauty of the space.

I know this is way late, but guess what I was given for Christmas???


Yipee! I am so excited to finally have a real camera. Now I just need to practice...oh and just to forwarn you, you will prob be seeing lots of pictures of my kids....which would be my two cats and one dog! Sorry in advance for the torture, but they are really my only subjects to practice on.

LET IT SNOW

It snowed last night for maybe the fourth time this winter. It was nothing special, but still made me feel warm and cozy!

IT'S MY BDAY!

So I just wanted to share my birthday with you. (It was actually on Christmas Eve and I turned 26!) YIKES! Anyways, my birthday was a lot of fun. We went snowboarding, which was the perfect day for it, and then to dinner at Olive Garden! Usually we get a lot of snow this time of year, but I think we have had a total 3 days of snow, which all melted the next day, so when I saw it snowing the morning of my birthday I was estatic! It proceeded to snow the rest of the day! YAY!


Now don't laugh too hard at the pictures. This was only my fourth time snowboarding, so I was trying to learn how to do toe side.





Hope you had a great Christmas Eve!
