Milestones May 14, 2010

It's been all sorts of crazy over at the G3B residence. Lot of exciting stuff going on over here, folks. Because it's 12:00 and I have to leave my house in approximately six hours to catch a flight to Boston, I'm going to be especially brief.

Here's the deal:

1. At 4 pm this Sunday, my family and I will be attending my college graduation. Just two and a half hours later, I will be the proud owner of a diploma boasting my BS in Communication.
2. My apartment is on its way to becoming an amazing home. Though it's still missing most of my furniture, it is housing a majority of my shoes and clothing, as well as a two cute couches and a bunch of Cuisinart steals from Rue La La.
3. I got a job, at least for the summer. I start work on Wednesday and I'm going to get to do some really awesome stuff. Stay tuned.
4. My little sister comes home from Israel on June 3rd for the rest of the summer.
5. Thibault is coming to visit me for two weeks in June!

...and that's all for now. Hopefully all this excitement won't get in the way of me falling asleep tonight!

Operation cute apartment: the perfect bedspread May 09, 2010

Hi everyone, I'm not sure I've told you yet, but I'm moving into a really awesome apartment very soon. I'm bringing in my bedroom furniture from my dad's house and have accumulated a bunch of other pieces from family members including a kitchen table, chairs and a couch. Basically, I have most of the big stuff but still need to find all the little things to jazz up the place.

First step: find a new bedspread. 

Although I love my current duvet cover (I bought it for college and it's made for a twin bed) it's really not large enough for my big bed at home. It technically covers my entire mattress, but doesn't spill over the side of my bed, leaving my untucked sheets exposed. It's a bit tacky.

Anyway, here are a few bedspreads and duvets I've found online. There are still a bunch more that I like, so my heart isn't set on any of these. Let me know if you like any of these, or leave links in the comments if you find anything else cool- I need to pick something out soon so I can plan out the rest of my room!
