The closer and closer we get to moving to Fullerton, the more obsessed I become with decorating. And for the past month, I have been thinking way too much about couches. I obsessively read Apartment Therapy and Young House Love trying to find tips on buying the best sofa. I know that I want solid…

I never knew how into fashion guys were until I started teaching. Sometimes I will catch some of the guys in class checking out cool fashion trends on the computers during class. And my hubby kept tons of back issues of GQ just so he had them handy when it came time to buy a…

I wanted to start something new on my blog; something that would allow for my faithful blog readers to get to know me a bit better. I also wanted to confess that I didn’t come up with this idea myself, but rather, I was inspired by my cyber friend Gail Werner. Gail is a wedding…

Awww! You captured my sister beautifully! I love all these photos!
In high school I was the girl who never wore a skirt and didn’t discover how to dress feminine until college.

You’re just like me. I was completely a t-shirt and jeans girl probably until around my sophomore year of college. I had no real fashion sense. Then something snapped (maybe it’s because I now work in the Entertainment industry) and I’m all about it.
THIS outfit is ADORABLE. I seriously want to go to Forever 21 and recreate it. I just might this weekend!

LOVE this Amber! So fun! I think I may just have to go buy the whole outfit?!
Love it!!! I’m officially jealous! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
I really LOVE that triangle coffee table! I’d do anything I could to make that work.
Hi,
You may know about these local(ish) stores already, but if not check them out for getting custom made sofas for around the same prices as other stores. I think you can even specify the sizes you want, which may help with getting the mid-century look, but on a smaller scale to fit your area. I say mix it up, and I think the clean lines of mid-century go great with the clean lines of the Craftsman era. 🙂

Amber! SO excited for you! I think you TOTALLY could do mid century retro in that living room! Just bring in some more traditional accents in your pillows, picture frames etc and you’ll be golden!
I <3 your new living room! Can't wait to see the house in person!
SO happy for you guys!! Can’t wait to see your new house – it’s been a loooong journey but it’ll be worth it once you’re moved in and have that first moment, standing amongst boxes with champagne in hand, toasting to the new adventure. Congrats pal 🙂
ps – love your inspiration boards!
Oh man! I can’t wait to see what you do! Decorating a new place is SOOOOO fun! (and can cost a lot!) But SOOOOO fun!!! 🙂
Amber, this is so awesome. A blank slate for a couple with great taste.
Super excited for you guys Amber! Love those doors!
