Lovely Web Links: May 23, 2013

Short but sweet lovely web links this week...

+ This photo is just summery and pretty.

+ Are you charging enough for your services? 

+ Blogger users - here's how to install a hovering "Pin It" button! Easy peasy - it only took me a minute.

+ Something we could all learn from - how to get less email.

+ Great tips on using Pinterest for business.

+ Was anyone else a huge Saved by the Bell fan? (Can you believe the finale was 20 years ago?)

And find me elsewhere on the internet...

+ Interviewing interior designers and bloggers for Lamps Plus! I chatted with blogger Anne Sage of The City Sage, HGTV's Laurie March, Palm Springs interior designer Christopher Kennedy, social media guru Leslie Carothers (@tkpleslie), and interior designer Windsor Smith.

Happy Thursday!
 

A Little Bit of Life Lately...

Guys, this weekend kicked my butt. We moved! We deep-cleaned our old place sooooo good! We shopped for necessities for the new apartment! We unpacked everything by Sunday afternoon! We installed curtain rods! We arranged furniture! 

And now I'm a little tuckered out. 

My lack of social media posting over the weekend (like I said, we were busy!) brought on some concern - my mom even called to ask if I was okay! Don't worry, I'm just recuperating from hauling furniture. No biggie.

But are we slowing down? Noooo. My bestie is flying in from Toronto today for a visit (she's bringing her mom, how fun!) so I've got a week of awesome ahead of me. 

Looking forward to sharing a house tour soon - the new apartment is so lovely I can hardly contain myself. I've also got a graphic design project to share, and a tattoo design project in the works that will be featured here in due time.

Hope you're having a wonderful week! Time for a nap (I wish!).

  

We're Moving!

Yup, it's true - we're moving! Nate and I found a cute 'lil two-bedroom apartment just a couple miles from where we currently live, and I'm totally smitten. (Here's a sneak peek on Instagram.) Hardwood floors! Granite countertops! A patio! A cupboard under the stairs just like in Harry Potter!

Just about everything we own is boxed up and ready to go for the big move tomorrow. I'm excited to decorate our new place and give you a little home tour sometime in the coming weeks. Isn't it fun to get a fresh start?

Have a wonderful weekend!

I definitely want to be known as a game changer. You?
