Loft Tour: KB's [Updated] Wardrobe

A few months ago I shared my DIY wardrobe space in our loft, and I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of proud of it. It's been one of our baby projects since moving into our place and it was fun to get to share my favorite part of our home. Not long after the photos I ran out of space for my shoes. They ended up in piles in front of my "closet" for weeks, and then we realized we needed to do something about it. We scoured Walmart, Target and Lowes to find all of the pieces needed to expand it, and we did just that! All of the white shelving is by ClosetMaid and you can get the brand at all three aforementioned retailers. I thought the first photos of my wardrobe were large, but this makes it look teensy in comparison!

We added 2 tall cubbies (4 total) to the right side, and 1 (2 pieces) to the left. We then added a horizontal shoe rack on top of each pre-existing one below. 8 total pieces bought for the project, and now I have my dream closet! I didn't actually have all of my clothing/shoes up for these photos, but it's still ridiculous. I like making my closet look more like a boutique because I think every gal should treat her closet like so. Getting dressed should be fun. Like you're shopping! It's a great spin to put on your closet.

I know not everyone has an industrial loft where they can hang several hundred pounds of clothing from the ceiling, but you can still make it a fun experience. Put your favorite pieces on display, or color coordinate! I'm going to color-sort my closet soon, when I get a spare minute, but we went ahead and shot it anyway. Maybe I'll do a follow-up of it if I ever actually get it organized that way! 

I'm not sure what I'll do with some of my stuff when I run out of room again (I'm dangerously close). Mike keeps saying to just stop acquiring new things. A huge chunk of that collection is thrifted, too. I've put myself on a/another shopping ban sort of. I need to let the rest of our house catch up to my closet!

I'll be sharing our "bedroom" tomorrow morning! Be sure to drop back by! Thanks for indulging me xo

Loft Tour: KB's Workspace

(click the last photo to see full-size!)

It's been a long time coming... We've been in our newest Home Sweet Home for over three months now (holy cow!) and I'm finally getting around to photographing some of it to share. Since we live in a studio loft and there are no walls, we're going to share it "space by space". Up first is my little workspace with my new computer (a graduation gift from my parents). I recently (read: yesterday) cleared off my entire desk, moved all of my shoppe stash and stuff to another location in the house to make it a more "work friendly" environment. I took a cue from Molly and got some fresh flowers for my desk. I used to love keeping fresh flowers in my room at previous houses so this should be no different. Mike jokingly picked up a lava lamp on our errand run yesterday and I was sold. I had to have one. Best purchase in quite a while! It makes all the difference to my desk! (I highly recommend each and every one of you go buy one, too!). ~Lava lamp luverz club! 

Also on my desk: various organizational accordion folders to the left of my desk. This is where I keep receipts, business-y stuff and shoppe lists. The pink journal is a wedding notebook I've been working in. Various sketches and lists of things I want for our big day. The black spiral bound piece is The Editor... something I use to keep track of my blog schedule, sponsors and posts. The green spined journal is a back-up for my "Little Book of Ideas" which you can see below it. It's been the only journal I can write things down in. If I were to lose that little thing I might feel like I've lost an arm or something! It's priceless!  My Rilakkuma iPhone cover on my little white iPhone 4. Various nail polishes as I did my nails this morning (totally into the neutrals lately!). Craft, Inc business planner (So far I really like it!) and a ton of sticky notes. My life revolves around sticky notes and my Little Book of Ideas. I'm serious. I sticky note everything... even my phone! I also have my little Instax Mini just because it's cute and it reminds me to use it! 

You can see Georgia in two of the photos. She sits/lays under my desk 24/7. If I'm there and if I'm not. It's her favorite place in the house. I don't know if she just feels secure there or not but I like having her there to warm my toes!

Here's a picture that shows the pennant banner I made to hang above my desk. Mike cut it out of all the pictures above! Whoops! Oh, I've had a ton of people ask about the screensaver, too! Thanks to Weronika for letting me know! You can get it HERE!

Thanks for taking a peek at "where the magic happens" in our little home sweet home! We'll be sharing different spots in the house over the next several days! 

Where do you blog/work? Care to share your inspiring space?!

PS; There's a little hidden gem about a business venture we're currently working on! I can't wait to share that with you! Can you spot it?!

808 = HOME SWEET HOME

A few little sneak peeks of our home sweet home.

These are from the front porch where we don't spend near enough time. We like to hang out on the side porch, but I love the character of the entire building! I can't wait to share with you all a tour of our loft. xo 

Do you live in a cool building? Feel free to share!

Okay! Phew! Finally done! Sorry for so many pictures but we were excited to finally have it close enough to done to share! There will actually be quite a few changes like shelves rather than Instax lines, and hopefully getting a dining room set, etc, but it'll do for now!
