The Bill Murray film, What About Bob, has been on my mind lately.  So many great lines in there [Baby step to four o'clock. Baby step to four o'clock.]  plus I've seen it so many times that I now recognize the very moment in the film where Bob begins to seem normal and the doctor starts to seem a bit…..intensely focused (to put it nicely).  

This flu/cough is finally ending – I can breathe again between fits of coughing but to make sure all is well, I'll be sticking pretty close to home this weekend.  That means that I can bring order to an apartment that has gotten a bit untidy and perhaps tackle a few other projects as well.  I have a plan to baby step my way to success + use some inspiration photos to guide the way.


1. Clear the clutter from my bedroom + actually make my bed. 

Mas + gen - bedroom

2. Put up artwork on the three magnetic boards above the dining table.  (Inspired here by the simple, pretty touches in the dining room.)

3. Add bright splashes of color as seen on this gorgeous couch and the green and pink pillow on the left.

4. Watch Grey Gardens + Twilight. 


5. Read The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life: How to Sew a Sampler Quilt & 49 Other Pioneer Projects for the Modern Girl (by Jennifer Worick).

    I think you’ll enjoy Grey Gardens. Twilight is a silly little movie, but still fun enough. A guilty pleasure, I’d say.
