What food could I not live without? I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t munch on chips and salsa. I love the stuff. Chips are just a vehicle for the salsa to get into my mouth. I think I could seriously lose 5 pounds if I didn’t eat them…
Today I take off for Las Vegas, for five and a half days of learning. This will my second time at WPPI and I am so excited to go back for a second round. Last year I came back with so many ideas and new strategies to put into my business, lots of new industry contacts,…
Have fun my friend! Looking forward to getting together soon, when you get back! 🙂
Have a fabulous time! Learn a ton and come home and share with us.
Too bad this year we won’t get to run it together….I’m only going to the trade show this year. Have fun learning wish I was attending some classes.
I am so jealous of everyone going to WPPI!! I wish I could attend!
So the past couple of weeks, my hubby and I have been in moving mode. Last week we packed our whole lives into boxes. In these boxes were memories from our childhood, our college days and our first few years of marriage. Our journey together of finding a home was hard and if you would…
So excited to see your new place! 🙂
Fullerton [and the Carters!] are SO happy to have you! Welcome to the neighborhood – can’t wait to meet up sometime in dtf and grab a tea at Tranquil. XO
Congrats on the big move Amber! So happy you’ve found a community you really really love — and the best part now? NO MORE LANDLORDS!!! Drive that nail in the wall. Paint in bold colors. Do what you want ‘CAUSE IT’S YOURS 🙂
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…
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!
that living is beautiful i love the double doors.
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…
Ahhh..this is super awesome. And SUPER sweet (I love that your mom has a British accent — is she from England? Do you call her Mum? ‘Cause I want to call my mom Mum 😉
Hugs, G
I love this new post Amber! I am really looking forward to getting to know you even better through these random facts 🙂
I love this post too Amber! Thank you for sharing more of YOU!
i really love this post you should do more like this!
Love these post they are so cute and so personal!. You should register for a formspring account and have people submit questions… just an idea.
LOVE this post Amber! My sister was OBSESSED with X-Files. I would say I need to start watching too, but I’ll just add it to the list of all the other programs I need to Netflix! 😉
Thanks for the artist recommendations — and I’m an oatmeal girl in the morning too (though, too lazy for every day ….is it bad if I rely on the Kashi Instant to get me thru in a pinch on mornings I’m running late? haha)
And LOVE Shauna’s books! Bittersweet is on my list too!
You are a treasure, loved reading these tidbits about you!
Thank you for sharing more about YOU! I love it!
I love your new 10/10 feature! So fun! 🙂
