I have been tagged by The World According to Jessica Claire! How fun...thanks Jessica!! This is my first time being tagged!

Here Are the Rules: Answer the following questions about yourself. At the end of the post you pass on the questions to 6 other bloggers and list their names. Then write them a comment telling them that they've been tagged and ask them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know that you've accepted the challenge and refer to your post.


1. What did you do 10 years ago?
I had just finished up my junior year of high school and had a really awful case of mono. We were also moving from Richfield to Bloomington (I really didn't have to help pack, which was cool), and getting ready for my dad and Diana's wedding. It was a very busy month. But I was soooo sick and entirely out of commission for most of it.

2. Five items on your to-do list today:
1. Update my color shopping blogs.
2. Bring old electronics to Best Buy to be recycled.
3. Mow the lawn.
4. Go to the mall and see if I can find something cute for Charlotte's party tomorrow.
5. Make (or purchase if I'm lazy) some sort of desert for her party. Cookies maybe. I haven't decided.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
I love strawberries. I've been eating them every day. That and string cheese. And like Jessica, I typically don't refuse anything salty or sweet. Yummy. I too love my cookies. And brownies.

4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?
Buy my dream home. Probably a fabulous loft in the warehouse district (decorated with plenty of turquoise, of course) or a nice home in the burbs. I'd also make some major improvements to my business, invest some, donate some, take care of my family, and lastly travel travel travel.

5. Places I would live:
1. Minneapolis. I already know I love it here.
2. New York City
3. On the beach in CA.

6. Bloggers I am passing the challenge onto are:
Just Imagine
Freckles Chick
Teal Chic
Villa Anna
Simply Grove
Precious Style

The Rites of Spring Lounge

This fun room from Amy Lau Design was part of the 2007 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Aptly named "The Rites of Spring Lounge", Amy was inspired by the colors, textures, and ambiance of Big Sur, CA — a "breezy vibe" and a place for informal and relaxing times. I love the color palette of citron, cobalt and turquoise. -House Beautiful

Light-Filled Kitchen

I absolutely love this remodeled 1918 Craftsman kitchen. The aqua-painted wood surfaces look so great with the white tiling, black granite counters and stainless steel appliances. -Sunset Magazine

Bold Turquoise and Yellow Bathroom

I'm not into this whole country/seaside look, but holy cow this is one bold turquoise bathroom. And I love any turquoise bathroom! So happy! -Harcourt Designs

Outdoor Living

This outdoor living space is so tropical and modern. I love the crisp blue cushions and colorful throw pillows. And how awesome would it be to have that way-cool fire bowl in your backyard?? -Domino

Oh So Pretty

I thought this image showcasing the Amelie in Teal wallpaper designed by Monsoon was just oh so pretty. -Graham & Brown
