A MAJESTIC DISORDER

i seem to nowadays meet a lot of friends through social media. i never used to but increasingly i've been finding random locals with similar interests via facebook, instagram or twitter. it's so bizarre but insanely gratifying. almost a year ago, i connected with kelley mullarkey, the brilliant writer behind creative blog, majestic disorder. she was living in chicago as well and we both {at that time} had blogs that focused on creativity and personal style. we messaged back and forth once in a while and it was mentioned that she wanted to feature me on her amazing blog. well, due to intercontinental schedules and so forth, we were finally able to meet in person, interview and shoot, this past saturday. boy, was it ever an experience!

i could not believe how in-depth and professional kelley and her right hand man//fiance, sean were. it was incredible. they work tirelessly around the clock working day jobs, going to school and then managing majestic disorder in their 'free' time. i have an immense amount of respect for those too. the amazing thing about it also was that despite the fact that we shot film, video and went through the entire interview for almost five hours straight, they made it so enjoyable and creative. i was delighted.

i couldn't imagine a more perfect day! thank you kelley and sean!

in other news, i finally feel settled into my new-ish apartment thanks to this interview. i had been putting off hanging paintings, etc. for weeks but the fact that majestic disorder would be shooting me in my 'habitat' gave me a reason to finally commit to a design plan. below is a shot of my main work space all tidied up of course.

some things that i love about this little nook::

• the colorful patterns that surround it {via my curtains and chair}
