    project 365 : days 330 – 336

    by Kaylah Stroup December 4, 2017

    330 : 365 Went to get outfit photos but chickened out after a few shots because it was COLD. It’s that wonderful time of the year where it looks fairly nice outside but is actually like negative forty seven. But look how cute my coat is with that inner leopard print!!

    331 : 365 Sushi socks! Also, Christmas tree! Woo! We were debating if we’d even put one up this year but holy smokes, I’m glad we went for it. It just makes the whole room so cozy. I’m going to be very sad when it’s time to pack it away for the year.

    332 : 365 Squid hanging out on the arm of my office chair. It’s so distracting when either one of the cats wants to sit with me but it’s so sweet that I just can’t tell them no.

    333 : 365 Some beach finds. My favorite of the day being that little donkey. It’s just a silly little plastic toy but I really like the way the lake weathered him. Check out more of my found on the beach arrangements here.

    334 : 365 Klaus thinking that if curls up reeeeeal tiny I won’t notice and kick him off the couch. PS If you missed it last week, I shared a tour of the living room!

    335 : 365 Why does this cat always have something stuck to his nose?!

    336 : 365 Desk view.

    337 : 365 Creep under the Christmas tree. Both Squid and Professor have been sleeping almost exclusively under the tree since I put it up last week. It’s THE cutest.

    Hope your week is off to a great start!
    xoxo

  • living room tour 2017

    by Kaylah Stroup November 30, 2017

    It’s been nearly a full year since Jeff and I moved into an apartment together. The most perfect lil apartment there ever could be! The first room we ‘finished’ decorating was the living room. ‘Finished’ because is a room ever truly done? No! I think it’s safe to say we both consider this our favorite …
