Well, I’m sitting here writing from my new couch (thanks IKEA!) which is NOT covered with boxes… I can see one zebra chair, my island is covered with *stuff*, and you have to snake your way around various guitars, camera equipment, half unpacked boxes, bags of paper and bubble wrap, but I’m home and it feels nice to be getting somewhat organized.
My office is filled with boxes since my closets are still under construction so my temporary office is my living room! You’d laugh if you could see my coffee table holding all sorts of various office papers and envelopes, my dresser serving as a printer/internet/time machine holder, and all of my hard drives lined up in a neat little row.
Had to share some great finds I’ve come across in the move! Scraping together what I can to make a home in a really scary economy has been interesting to say the least (I don’t own a TV! I know, crazy!) but the challenge has actually been pretty fun!
1. Termisil heat resistant glasses
Mom bought these for me for the new espresso machine that honestly makes the best coffee on the planet, God bless good old mom for that one! 
2. Via Venezia espresso machine (see above mentioned)
So it takes me about 10 minutes to make my latte in the morning but wow, what crema and gorgeous foam from this machine! You can pull two shots at a time and it has enough steam for days. Puts my old one to shame which only spit hot water into my milk. I’m sure this machine will save me a lot of $ since I live right down the street from 2 Starbucks cafes.
3. Zebra chairs
No fancy name brand here, just really cute arm chairs for roughly $160 each at Costco.
4. Ektorp sofa (white) from IKEA $399
For real, where can you get a feather slip-covered sofa for less than that?
5. Pottery Barn Macie Dining Table
Right now at the stores this long black cabriole leg table is on sale for less than some tables at above mentioned super store, and if you sweet talk someone who works there they will usually give you an extra 20% off. Make friends with your local Pottery Barn staff!
I am working on editing Julie and David’s Wedding and am almost done! They were an adorable couple and I am so excited because it was the first time I got to shoot a couple in a cow pasture! I’ll be back up and running at full speed again after the New Year and will be posting lots of photos so stay tuned…
What a nice use of lighting in these pictures. I like the sun rays….and what a nice idea to capture the moon on the wedding night. Hope things are going well for you in Arizona. I met you Dallas - and now I have moved from there as well! Keep up the good work.
