Photo an Hour :: A day of organizing

I thought it would be fun to take a photo an hour as I was working on organizing my office yesterday. So I did. Because I do what I want. Enjoy!
Photobucket
7 am :: Ivan's beer bottles on the drying rack ready to be filled.
Photobucket
8 am :: Mr. Farva Beans looking quite dignified relaxing on the couch.
Photobucket
9 am :: Finding places for some neat things in my reorganized office.
Photobucket
10 am :: I found this dress on a thrift trip with Andrea a while back. It doesn't fit (not even close) but I bought it so that I could hang it on the wall of my office. I knew the colours would look amazing with the walls. I was pretty impressed that I even managed to have a non-ugly hanger hanging around to hang it on. Hang.
Photobucket
11 am :: My ladies are standing on my desk right behind where I put my laptop. It's like they are watching me work. Yikes!
Photobucket
12 pm :: Every room needs a typewriter right?
Photobucket
1 pm :: Some pictures waiting to be hung. I got the cat ones up on the wall but the others are waiting for me to decide on their final home.
Photobucket
Photobucket
2 pm :: A healthy snack and a not as healthy snack. Both are delicious.
Photobucket
3 pm :: I needed a break from office organizing so I painted my nails.
Photobucket
4 pm :: Done! I don't know what the heck happened but when I looked at my nails a few hours later they were chipped like crazy. Today it looks like I haven't painted them in a week! That's ok though, I have a different design I want to try.
Photobucket
5 pm :: I managed to do all of our laundry today which is pretty impressive because I usually forget I have a load in and leave it in the washer all day. 
Photobucket
6 pm :: My favourite photos of my Dad and Mom. I'm just thinking that I shouldn't leave them there because we have a paper chewer/eater in the house. I'm looking at you Pinny. Remember my Foldable Me? She needs reconstructive surgery.
Photobucket
7 pm :: Finishing the day with some crazy hair.

I have a very exciting day ahead of me that includes walking to the store to get more vitamins and recovering some pillows. Ok, I guess the vitamin thing is not that exciting but good health does get me pretty fired up! Don't pretend that you don't already know I'm a dork.

  1. Great photos! You were right, the dress looks dynamite against the turquoise wall.
    I wish I could find the time to organize my studio. Hopefully soon...

  2. Your office is so cute and colorful! I especially love the dress you have hung up, so cute! My grandma gave me an adorable vintage dress from when she was in high school, but it doesn't fit me either, so I hung it on my wall too :)

  5. It looks like everything is starting to come together! And I know what you mean by every room needs a type writer, they are just so neat and fun to look at/play with!

  7. Have you ever tried orange flavored chocolate or other type of fruit flavored chocolate? It is the bombbbbb...

    I totally get what you mean about washed laundry and not getting it dried because right now we have two loads that needed to be taken to be dried yesterday but never did.

  8. I love that nail design bummer that it chipped though.
    Those pictures waiting for a home are rad. :) Hope to find some cool ones like that thrifting soon.
    Can't wait until the whole room is set up and we can see it done!

  13. Your office reflexs Elycia. :D It's a great idea using clothes for decoration. Never really thought of that. And it looks amazing!

    You have a paper chewer/eater? I have a "touch everything and send it to the floor" :)

  17. Oooh...love these! For some reason I can't paint my nails during the day ever, either, so I'm jealous - I might be too impatient or something, cuz they remain gloopy for hours and smudge all over...lol. Love the dress & those stacks of vintage pictures!

  20. Haha I love your paper chewer comment. My kitty, Logan, does that. If I leave paper things (envelope, card, etc.) on the table, they tend to end up with little bite marks in them.

  21. I'm sure people have asked this before, but do you have tutorials on your nail art? It's so neat, and I would love to learn how you do it!

    Beautiful pic-an-hour diary. It's definitely inspiring me to be more liberal with photos rather than stressing over whether it will be a masterpiece. You show that they can be beautiful and a day-in-the-life kind of tool as well.

    1. Hi Liz,

      Thank you! Kaylah and I made a video on how to use nail stickers right here. It is very silly but also very informative.

  23. That dress is so pretty and I LOVE that typewriter! It'd be so fun to write a story using one of those. And what a pretty color! Looks like you had a great day :)

  24. I have that exact same laundry problem. Sometimes I set an alarm on my phone to remind me. Sometimes it works. Might try?

  25. Great entry idea.
    I love the color you painted your walls. And I wouldn't mind owning a typewriter, I would love to have a working one and use it to write letters or scrap booking projects.

  26. I need some office organization. Probably more than a day though :)
