I saw Blossom in all of it's big huge glory at the CAC in 2003.
I liked it then... but it has really taken root. I love it now.

Before and After

I love Before+Afters. I love makeovers. I love major transformation. In someone else's world.
In my own. They are just embarrassing.
Take this corner of our studio/dining room for example.
Last spring my monstrous scrap collection was relegated to the basement. And in late July we stopped denying the unmistakable smell of mildew wafting up the steps.
Thankfully the piles of fabric were salvageable after a few trips through the washing machine. But they had to find a new home. And for 2 weeks they just sat in the corner, a giant pile of clutter that seemed to attract even more clutter.
Only a trip to Ikea (for storage boxes, we managed to score the actual shelf in the scratch+dent last year) would cure this disarray.
So it's not the Expedit of my dreams, but it is one step closer. And I might actually let someone besides Brady and Edward in the house now.
Sorry about the pictures- the lighting in that room is less than awesome.

And for a little Expedit inspiration:

Because it's just so kind and so, so pretty.

1.Wille's collection, 2. her studio, 3. alley view, 4. Molly's Sketchbook: Valentines!, 5. Selina Lake - Heart Mirror, 6. pacolli bag, 7. mood board, 8. Littler still, 9. cars

Time to get organized!

This makes me so happy!

E and I can sit and watch this at least three times in a row. There's just something about it.
