to sleep perchance to dream...

i'm relocating myself and all my belongings tomorrow morning for the second time in 6 weeks. to put it mildly, i'm dreading it. i'll be glad to have finally made it to the place i was supposed to move into this past August, but my stability-loving self is revolting at the prospect of another physical and emotional transition in such a short period of time. although it hasn't been my first choice to be in my parents' house while i've been waiting for my future living situation to resolve, there's something deeply comforting about sleeping in the bedroom i grew up in. now that i'm moving out (again), i don't want to leave. maybe i just won't get out of bed tomorrow morning. maybe i can keep my eyes closed and let the dreamworld keep me...

aaaaand since we all know that won't happen, i will wake up and face life an walk on like i always do --- here's some bedroom inspiration i've collected today. i can say i'm excited about my new (turquoise) bedroom and creating a space there that is simultaneously serene and vibrant.

i love this headboard. i spent a LOT of time in the bedroom of my previous apartment, and having a headboard that functioned like a wingback chair would have been amazing. the bedroom of that apartment was the coolest in summer and the warmest in winter --- sometimes i'd do everything from the island of my bed.


okay . . . and this is just pretty. straight-up, hands-down absolutely pretty.

sigh. all this talk of beds and bedrooms reminds me that i should be heading to mine soon. and i will, but first i have to savor a few spoonfuls of Haagen-Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream and fold my freshly laundered corduroys. wish me luck tomorrow --- i'll be putting my shoulder to the boulder called life and throwing all my strength into moving it one. more. inch. forward.

one day at a time,
she.
