wishlist for the new year

December can get a bit crazy with all the Christmas preparations and visits and traveling, shopping and making gifts, projects ending at school or at work, and just the general end of the year busyness, but thankfully January is quite the opposite. All the holiday celebrations behind us it feels wonderful to get back into the everyday life. The new year always feels like a fresh start, a good time to re-evaluate and re-organize your life a bit, maybe even make some resolutions (whether you keep them or not). We have thought about some goals for this year, and the biggest one is to get our home more organized. Our home is small, the rooms are quite tiny and the ceilings low so it can all look very cluttered very quickly, so everything needs to have their own place.

We also have some planning to do this year – we still have many projects (the stairs, the basement, the front and back yards, and lots of smaller projects around the apartment) left to do, we just have to sit down and figure out how we want to do them and how much it will cost and in what order we should get to them. We won’t have the budget to do all of them in 2010 but it’s good to map them out anyway.

A little New Year’s wishlist: Time and Space print set from My Folk Lover, mouse pad from Shim + Sons, metal bowl from Niki Jones, Archive boxes from Muji, masking tape from LemonTree, Ikea PS Sticka blanket from Ikea, Block lamp from Design House Stockholm and Ginkgo in Snow & Olive fabric from Ink & Spindle.
