Keeping It Real


Sure, I'm loving my new shirt. But I'm not loving the dust all over the mirror. Or the un-made bed and open drawers. And under my feet are stacks of not-yet put away laundry. And that darn bathroom is still pink.

Just keeping it real for you folks who believe my house is always clean. Smoke and mirrors people. Smoke and mirrors.

If I looked as cute as you in that shirt with the cute hair... I totally wouldn't care what my house looked like :)

Hence, I'm currently obsessed with my house.

Jocelyn said...

I love your hair! The shirt is super cute!

My house is never clean, nor will it ever be as long as Im married to a hoarder...

Smoke and (dusty) mirrors? SO my house... I don't know the last time I dusted, yikes! :) You look great!

So I was having this idea the other day... we technically have an eat-in kitchen (and a dining room too, but that's beside the point). We never eat in the kitchen though, and weren't using this weird table we had in there, so we craiglist-ed it. But now I have this giant space at the end of my kitchen and have NO clue what to put there. I literally stared at it the other day and thought "what would Liz do?". :) So if you're bored some day, I would love to send you a picture of the end of my kitchen and would LOVE your ideas on what kind of object (table? rack? anything?) to fill the space. You can tell me I'm crazy, but I love your style and think it's close to my own.

Have a great week!

Smoke and mirrors at my house too. Not to worry my dear, none of us is perfect. Hubby likes the windows open on cool days so guess what? THERE'S DUST IN MY HOUSE ON EVERY SURFACE!! Ack.

Erin Kathleen said...

Your room is perfect! I love the color and the mess! :o)

Alice said...

you think THAT'S a dusty mirror? Come on over. Your room looks very pretty and really only 3 minutes away from being perfect!

Erin said...

i too like your new shirt/top. very nice...like the design at the top :)
so...what is it going to take to get the bathroom painted? is this a one day job? do ya need motivation?

Deanna said...

what mess? who sees any mess when you are absolutely stunning dahhhling!
Love that shirt, especially with your hair done up.

Holly said...

THANKS for keeping it real. My house is a wreck right now but I'm too busy playing with my new point and shoot.

Holly said...

Uncomplicateme...I have the same deal going on. Right now I have my toddler's table in there so she still has a place to "work" while I am cooking. Working nicely for the time being. My kitchen is very small though, I could stand to put in an island or some other work space.

Shilo said...

You are beautiful, even in the midst of all your "reality". :)

Dana and Daisy said...

the blouse is so cute i did not notice all the other stuff!

Dawn Gahan said...

One of the prettiest pictures of you! And a testament to that is that I didn't even notice the surroundings (and whatever disarray you claim them to be in!).

Please. Corgi fur is a condiment at my house.

Amber said...

Awww, look how cute you are!! Love it!

If you wouldn't have pointed it out, I NEVER would've noticed b/c I was looking at how cute you are!

High-Heeled Foot in the door said...

Love your hair, love the shirt, and of course my house is the same way. Totally smoke and mirrors! :)

Valarie said...

Very stunning and the color is just wonderful on you! I admire that you like to take pictures of yourself. I am a "behind the camera" type of gal.

The Attic said...

Are you kidding me? First think I noticed besides adorable little you was the color of your walls! Do people really make up their beds and put away all their laundry? Join the club. Cute hair, CUTER shirt!

Christy said...

I. Love. That. Shirt.

beki said...

Oh yes, I can relate!

trash talk said...

I've heard that dust will take 5 lbs. off in a photo or at least that is what I tell myself!
Darling blouse.

Anne said...

Saskia said...

I would never have thought your home was undone from that pic!! You look fabulous and the room does too!!

Saskia

PS We're getting the builders in tomorrow for 2 days... then there will be some serious dust. I *can't wait*... !!

Jennifer said...

I love your shirt?

And have you lost weight? YOu look fabulous girl! (o:

Christina said...

Don't even get me started about laundry!
You're too cute!
Your bedroom looks like such a cozy retreat, unmade bed and all.

Ha!! I took a picture recently of two little lamps I put on my bedroom dresser to the show the guy I bought them from...only to see the reflection of my unmade bed and a wayward "floor bra" that missed the laundry basket. Good times.

Keeping it real -

I hear that. I run around like a LUNATIC before anyone comes over. Cleaning up random messes!
