Themed Thursday Triumph!

Alliterations are fun.

Kelsey and I are doing shared-themed days, so be sure to go to her blog to check out her cheeky response. Plus, she posted about me. Can you tell I'm blushing? Why, I do declare! (said in a Blanch Devereaux accent)

This week the theme is:
What is your ideal living room wall?


I love art. Also, I love having art and I couldn't live without being surrounded by explosions of color. So, in my living room (when I get settled in a more permanent situation) the wall will probably look like this:



I love the idea of an incredibly powerful wall color (and I mean, that white trim! Yum.) but it doesn't overwhelm with simple and beautiful prints, wall hangings, and art.

My favorite color is teal. It's so vibrant and yet, calm and beautiful. I love this color scheme that I found on Lovely Undergrad



Sigh--if only my landlord let us paint.

One of my life goals is to befriend as many artists as possible. That way, I can have fantastic art all over my walls. Right now, I'm set on getting a Flo Doodle. She's incredible and you should check her out HERE!!!

I also really would love a print of my favorite state. If you didn't know (plus, shame on you! I wrote about this already!) I'm a Minnesotan girl. My wall will definitely have some home-state love on it.



Well, now we wait in bated anticipation for a) me to actually have a wall I can do this too b) Kelsey's response and c) for me to find a decent cup of coffee in this joint.

You Betcha I'm from Minnesooota.

So, I'm going to talk about the weather.

It's freakin' nuts!


So far we've had down-pouring rain, sun, wind, hail, and cartoon-looking clouds. And that was just the last ten minutes! There is a lot of truth to the saying,
"Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes!"


Even with this craziness, I still love the land of 10,000 lakes. Even though we are the ridicule of many other states (Yes, I am shooting you a dirty look, Abele) it's just because they are jealous. City Pages agrees with me and published 50 reasons why Minnesota is the best state EVER! (we are also super hipster, apparently)
