one of my secret past times is perusing the home goods catalogs and websites like pottery barn and crate & barrel... and dreaming up interior design layouts. not really for my apartment or future home or anything, but creating ideaboards just for fun. i love it when people ask me to help them decorate or rearrange a new room, new house, or apartment, because this means i get to 1) play with paint chips, 2) reinvent the color palette, 3) play with lighting and 4) go paint and textile shopping! textures, finishes, colors, blends, thread count, opaqueness, lusters, and sheens... the spectrum goes on.today, i got an e-mail from pottery barn, and the above image was embedded in it. for some reason, i just really loved this entryway cubby storage unit & bench... along with the neutral sand grey on the wall backdrop. everything was perfect in this shot... this would be perfect for a southern beach house or a northern michigan cottage! children can throw their beach toys in the drawers below, hang up their beach towels and straw sun hats on the hooks, and check their wind-strewn, damp from the lakewater hair in the mirror. and my favorite touch to this shot? the bouquet of pink flowers left for a special someone on the bench. :o)
seems like it's necessary to put another post in for my Dream Job Fridays... guess the wednesday is now the new friday! i didn't begin this post with the intention of it, but after i posted the first draft (without this paragraph), i realized this would be a cool job to have: being the catalogue set designer for the photo shoots. no client budget to work with, no pre-designated client space, and unlimited props to use!
i'm really looking forward to late may when beach season begins!

oh, and by the way... i revamped the look of my blog this morning to mark new beginnings! officially closed out the chapter of "diving deeper" in my life, and i am now coming out of the depths of the dark waters feeling refreshed as i enter into a lighter, fresh season :)
