When One Door Closes, Another Opens

The past week and a half has been a true whirlwind. I moved to Northern California exactly 4 months ago. I was really excited about being closer to my family and starting a new chapter in my life. One problem... the Universe had other ideas! A job offer was presented to me back in Southern California and so it is with sadness and excitement that I bid adieu to Northern California and head back to the beach. And of course that means that I will get to find a cute little beach house and re-decorate yet again!!
So, in honor of new doors opening I present some pretty doors for your viewing pleasure-

My New Best Friend

I recently discovered Polyvore.com and I am completely smitten! It is soo much fun for a design geek like me. I am using it to make mood boards of rooms that I am working on. Here is a sample with items from my living room. I don't have the rug or curtains yet, but this gives me a good idea of what the finished product will look like.

Hope you all have a fabulous fourth. I'm planning on eating a few of these...
