Friends,
The truth is… I haven’t quite been able to get my act together since my move.
I’ve been trying to distract you with posts about my box grater. ย I’ve been trying to distract you with candy giveaways…. but that’s all starting to feel a little silly.
The fact of the matter is, my KitchenAid is still unplugged and my new oven needs a good scrubbing… and, I just ate a giant slice of store bought coconut cream pie.
Want to take a peek into my new space? ย Suuuure you do… come on in!
My walls went from a super intense turquoise to a lovely shade of light blue/grey. ย I also painted my concrete floors navy. No the edges aren’t perfect. ย Nope. ย That’s ok with me. ย Daniel… you gave me edges with character. ย I like you and I thank you.
I painted my door navy too. ย It’s now the sexiest door I’ve ever seen.
I like big pillows. ย I like a lot of big pillows.
The ceilings in my loft are metal. ย There are all sorts of metal beams and bars. ย Perfect to offset my sparkly blue glass chandelier. ย I feel pretty.
I had a ridiculous amount of cookbooks to unpack.
My tiny couch is blue. ย My little rug is lime green… and yes, that’s a frog pillow. ย That’s a frog pillow that I latch hooked a few years back. ย I didn’t have many friends. ย I was single. ย I didn’t have a blog. ย I latch hooked myself a pillow. ย Don’t judge me.
Asher was the shining star who helped me carry big, annoying things like mattresses and dressers all around… up and down. ย I paid him in pearls. ย Cheap, fake pearls. ย God bless him.
Thanks for being patient while I settle in. ย I’ll be back with sweets real soon.
I want caramel corn. ย So… that’ll happen real quick ย like.

Where can you find a latchhook kit? I want to make one of a Siamese. Don’t judge me…I love my cat! Congrats on the new place.
aww there’s a ton of grace for your move! However- I can speak for a lot of people, when I say we look forward to you being back at it- making your delicious concoctions in your kitchen!! xxx
You are one of my idols!
I LOOOOOOOOVE the floors…your going to make is homie in no time…i love all the little details! Keep it up and we do want to see pics of the final look!
Congrats on your move! Your new place looks so cool.
I have to say though, you had me at frog pillow :)
Very cool Joy!!!! love it..
You have great style.
Congrats on the new pad. It looks cozy and nice. You just moved to L.A.? Did you enjoy the little earthquake today? I live an a bit more than an hour north from you so I didn’t get to have that kind of fun (luckily) today.
Love the navy floor and the chandelier. I imagine the glass makes very pretty and relaxing patterns on the walls. Best of luck in getting yourself settled in.
Oh darn, I wanted to see the turquoise walls, I LOVE turquoise! The navy floor I do love!
Moving in takes forever. We have been in our house 18 mths and I still have some boxes unpacked and I still haven’t hung many photos.
I hope you get moved in much sooner :)
You rock for getting ahead and painting first instead of unpacking first. Navy floors gets you five stars in my book. The frog pillow is…. loveable. :)
Enjoy your new place!
Best,
Jenn
Lovelovelove! haha. and don’t worry, i’ve latched – hooked myself my own pillow as well!
except mine was a tiger, not a frog.
living vicariously through you! Love the whole “loft” life you are starting. Have fun putting everything in its place. We’ll all be here waiting for ya.
My son has the same froggy pillow! My sister latch hooked it for him! He’s going to be so excited tomorrow when I show him that you two have the same pillow!
super cute!
I MUST KNOW your secret on how you get away with painting floors/walls and doors of a rental! I live in SF-Rental land and am so tired of boring walls in a place I want to call home for a long time! How do you get around that? Or does your landlord not care as long as you paint it back before you leave
I love your new loft, AND your chandelier, and all your cool paint colours! You have a wonderful site and best wishes on your move. I miss L.A. and having Ikea and Trader Joes….
Did I miss the post where you finally bought yourself a couch? Or have you always had the blue couch? I love the color, and your chandelier, and you floors…
Enjoy your new place! I’ve moved 8 times in the last 7 years…and had 3 kids…and put roughly 100K miles on my van…trust me, it can take a bit to get settled somewhere new!! :)
Oh I LOVE that chandeleir. Can’t wait to see your new kitchen!
I love your chandelier!! So cute. Good luck unpacking, I look forward to your new creations!
Oh, one more thing… Navy is my favorite color, it makes me feel pretty and I hope it gives you inspiration. :)
you and your navy blue floors have brightened my day!! LOVE IT!
love the navy floors! do you know color/ manufacturer?
