Rent a Moving Box: BungoBox

I can’t remember the last time I used cardboard boxes to move—I have enough duffles, storage bins, and assorted containers to move my small amount of stuff from Austin to Aspen to place to place. Moving into my house for the first time, however, was a different story. I wish BungoBox had existed then! Founded in [...]

Wine Rack or TV Stand?

I have rearranged my home office and living room a few times since I moved into this apartment, and I finally feel like I’ve got it in a good place with the addition of this wine rack I’m using as a TV stand. I wanted something tall so I could store purses underneath, but airy [...]

Feel Good Friday 082412

Feel Good Friday is a roundup of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! An unexpected week spent with my family. While my grandma’s passing was sad, it gave my entire extended family a chance to spend a [...]

Creative Home Office

This is my home office. In my lofted one-bedroom apartment, space is at a premium. But I work from home, on the awesome DailyHap.com, so a home office is non-negotiable. Enter the couch + table + chairs combo that I LOVE. It has lots of light and lots of space for me to spread out [...]

DIY: Orange Sheets!

I have a set of (high thread count) (Ralph Lauren) sheets I love that were getting a little … off in color. In keeping with my beach house theme for the new digs, I decided to dye them bright orange—Tangerine, to be exact—to complement my pale blue-and-tan plaid bedspread. I’m not going to lie, the process [...]

DIY: Necklace Organizer

Jewelry is awesome, but organizing it is not. It’s actually a complete pain in the ass. I posted about my planter jewelry solution awhile back, but my new place called for a new solution. Don’t worry, the planter now sits in front of the door to my apartment holding scarves, mittens, and hats plus keys [...]

A Home for My Jewels

I have been going crazy in my loft apartment trying to find a great, space-saving way to store but display my jewelry. My earrings benefited greatly from a picture frame holder (pictured below), but my necklaces, bracelets, and scarves are more trouble. Finally, I found the perfect solution! It may not look like much, but [...]

Around the Fitness Horn … yeah, it’s been awhile!

Power to the Plank – love this article. Do lots of planks in yoga, but adding more in! Body Fat Pictures and Percentages – very interesting … Why I Don’t Cook at Home – hilarious. The Oatmeal always is. My last workout at Bleeker was a super fun one: 5 Rounds: 250M Row 10 OH [...]

Austin: TGITailgating

Thank goodness for tailgating! You wouldn’t really know it’s fall in Austin without hordes of burnt-orange-clad revelers crowding the streets of campus. Three of my top picks (two are recurring, one is this weekend only): La Condesa’s awesome tailgate 17th & Congress from 12 pm – 6 pm for all home games FREE Grilled Mexican Street Corn and [...]
