A Fresh & Clean New Year!

So I stroll into our local Borders the other day and after about 3 seconds in the store I let out a huge gasp and start to blush. The cause for this?That's right! The latest issue of the wonderful Storage magazine!
Seriously, BHG needs to make this a monthly thing that I could subscribe to, not just a specialty publication.
If you think that the dork level couldn't rise any higher, let me prove you wrong. I spent an hour in that store looking at everything but that magazine, because in my mind it's the 'dessert' that needed to be taken home and read by myself while my boys were sleeping. I'm a little loopy about this magazine. I can't help it though! I don't look at design magazines when I'm in the mood to change up our place or when I need the motivation to work on a specific project. I just break out all 30+ Storage mags and get the oomph I need based on all the clean surfaces on each page :o) Here are some of my favorites from this issue.{I'd love a more macho version of this for my sons room. We're still working on getting his room pulled together. All I have is a mattress right now. I'm a bad mom, but I'm working on fixing it!}
{Ok, now doesn't every kitchen look better with a KitchenAid mixer and a stack of Cupcakes? I see this all the time and I love it!}

{Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that we have a washer/dryer in our little apartment, but I'm still dreaming of the day when I can get a set of these babies!}

Alright, I've off to rearrange some closets! Hopefully I'll get some new pictures up of our place. It's changed around a bit, thanks to my Mom adding her touch to things!
