Early Morning Tea Time

My roommate and I have been having difficulties getting ready in time for class so far this semester. We will wake up and spend the first moments of our day scrambling to complete the bare minimum of our morning routines before we rush out the door to make it to class! So, we decided to go to bed early last night and to wake up an hour earlier this morning. The result was a very peaceful and productive morning.



The Soundtrack

Our mugs: Alexandra's on the left and mine on the right

Daily Details: Humble Abode


My roommate, Alex, and I decided to make our room really cozy this semester and after three and a half years in college, for the last semester I have in a dorm room, we have finally successfully created a cozy living space out of a blah dorm room. Here's a peek into what we've created.
  A makeshift curtain made from an antique tablecloth Alex's, tied with twine and a set of painted keys I found at a flea market. 
 
My "Blue Boy" Painting
Our bunked beds tied together with a string of knotted strips of fabric (made by Alex)
Our seating area
A picture of the greatest couple I've known, my grandparents, framed in a frame I painted and paired next to an authentic fan I bought at a market this summer in Northern Asia
A bouquet of flowers atop a painted tile
My cuddle buddy who I also bought while visiting Northern Asia this past summer

More details from my collection of pretties will be posted in days to come.
