The Tiny Closet

Category: My Closet — Eyeliah

You may remember how I mentioned I was cutting my wardrobe down again, well this is what I have left.

Keep in mind, my coats and shoes are in the front closet and I did keep one luggage with a few special dresses and skirts, blazers, extra socks and tights.

Once upon a time I owned 50+ skirts & 70+ dresses, then I got down to 139 items

Now I have less than 100 (without including the one luggage)
15 dresses, 10 skirts, 3 maxi skirts
12 blouses, 3 long sleeve tops, 16 t-shirts (went up since I wear these to teach yoga), 11 tank tops (layering)
3 jeans, 3 pants, 3 shorts
12 sweaters/cardigans, 3 hoodies, 3 winter coats, 5 light jackets

Even my purses, scarves, hats, jewelry and shoes have been massively reduced but that’s for another post.

Hello There

My lovely hairdresser added more purple to my hair, this time in a halo.

It’s nice to stop by and show my face on here, I know it’s been a while.

Unpacking! Balcony Inspiratons

Category: Inspiration — Eyeliah

With Vancouver’s year round mild temperatures the balcony is a welcomed addition of square footage.  It is important to create a cozy and inviting space to make sure the it is utilized to the full potential.  My inspiration started with this picture on craigslist, I think they were giving away the rug.

My new balcony is pretty much exactly the same including a partition with a ledge that would work perfectly for a piece of art, maybe my Starry Starry Night.  The rail is also half concrete half bars for a nice bit of privacy while still showing the view, unfortunately there isn’t a plug for a lamp.

I love these cozy patios on Apartment Therapy; the pillows, the drapes, hanging ornaments and slat floors.  I have a bamboo mat and throw pillows that could begin the creation of this vibe.

The Parisian balcony with a set table and flower planters is lovely, and my balcony table is very similar.  Perhaps with a garden statue and wild vines.

 

How did you decorate your backyard or balcony?
