a little room tour.

3.07.2012

So far this week, among other things, I've written letters, papers, and articles, done homework, gone to work, gardened, gone to the library, deep cleaned my room, sorted through my email, spent too much time on the internet, played scrabble, and managed to put together a little room tour.

But first, three things:

1. I'm looking forward to getting my new camera, especially because of its stellar video capabilities. No more grainy, dark point-and-shoot videos! Until then, just bear with me, please.
2. Apparently I talk with my hands a lot. Who knew? And no. My skin isn't really like that. Cameras just enjoy making me look like a pink alien.
3. Enjoy! And please don't hate me for my fast-talking, run on sentences, and general awkwardness.

Happy Wednesday!

  7. your room is insanely, unfairly gorgeous. seriously. my room still has carpet [a super ugly color, hah], and it's much smaller [and not as clean...], and it hardly gets any sun, and...and....basically I'm jealous. ;) I absolutely love all the little touches you've done to really make the room yours. I think I could totally walk in there and tell "hey, this is carlotta's room!" loverly.

  8. Oh my, your room is seriously gorgeous! Mine is in a constant state of disaster, and since I share it with 2 brothers, it can be pretty crazy. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. oh. you're so cute. seriously. :)
    Swooning over you windows. It must be a photographer/writer/artist thing, but I'm so in love with window light. Sadly my room only has two small windows. I love the art on your walls, too. Such fun decor!

  19. Your room is amazing! Wish mine were that big... but then I'd probably over stuff it with books. Lol! ;P
    That's cool you're getting a new camera... with HD video! So jealous.
    So I just realized you look a lot like/have a lot in common with a friend of mine. Seriously, I think you guys would be best friends if you were to meet. She's also really into fashion (you know, huge notebook full of outfit design sketches?).

  23. I love your room! It's so beautiful! I'm kinda fan of the empty picture frames :)

  24. gah your room is gigantic. jealous.. i don't even have my own room at home and it's easily half the size of htat

    ReplyDelete
  25. finally ! :) I've always loved the colors and general design of your room--I like rooms with dimension and angle to them, not just square boxes. Our family is moving soon and I'm hoping so hard that I get a window seat.
    If I had that western-ish skull next to my bed, I would probably freak out at night :) Also, did you make the "read more books" embroidery hoop?
    xo.

  33. I love the video! "The right. Totally meant right." :D Haha. Your room looks like a cozy (although it's quite spacious) place to just relax/do schoolwork etc. I like the combination of the cow skull and the cow skin rug (at least that's what it looks like). :D Love your sofa too! :D Thanks for the video!

    ReplyDelete

  38. OK you are too cute!! i loved hearing your voice describe your room.

    ReplyDelete
  39. so, this made me really excited. because i haven't heard my dear sister's voice in a while. i am happy now. ;) and quite jealous of the size of your room (plus hardwood floors and big windows? gaah.) mine's pretty much the complete opposite, but i do what i can with it!
    xo twin sister.

  40. you are too cute girl. and i just adore your room. especially your hard wood floor and inspiration board :)

  41. I love your room, it is so big. Mine is like 2 or 3 times smaller than your's. :)
    I'm probably going to make you OCD about it now, but are you ever scared that the cow skull will fall on you in the middle of the night. I would be. I used to be scared that my ceiling fan would fly off and you know, kill me in the middle of the night. Yeah, most of my phobias have to deal with night.

  42. Your room is insanely adorable! And wow, so spacious + fresh! I share a room with my sister that's about half that size, so as much as I would love to I wouldn't be able to make it look like your's, but you have lovely designing skills! Adore your room, Carlotta. :)

  43. Oooo so open and pretty! We're not used to space like that in Manhattan :/ Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  44. It's such a beautiful, BIG room, Carlotta! You are so lucky to live in a place like that...
    THAT'S the room I want when I grow up and don't have five siblings to compete with : )
    And can I just say I love your voice...it's so, just nice! (sorry, that probably didn't make much sense)
    Oh well.

    1. thanks! and no, you make perfect sense...I'm not the biggest fan of my voice (hah!) so that's really sweet of you to say. x

  45. Your room is very nice. My dad has a stool he bought that is cow hide and the horns are the legs. I travel full time so I really do not have a room but I love yours!

  46. Your room is crazy adorable! I think part of what makes it so pretty is the fact that everything (from what I saw) is very organized and you are good at colors schemes yet being creative with the decor and such. And wowie - your room is huge! Mine is teeny tiny but the theme of it is birds (which makes up for it being so small. Ha!).

    I also saw that you are going to purchase the D90. Great choice! I have actually been contemplating purchasing the D90 or the D300S sometime next year. Don't get me wrong, I adore my D3000 (haven't even had it quite a year yet!) and it takes wonderful photos. However, I think that is more a camera made for getting people started on photography and has the basic tools and features you need. The D90 is perfect once you get your feet a bit more wet into photography + has a whole buncha' nice features and is apparently very easy to use.

    Best of luck to you and your beautiful photography!

    And with that, I end my novel.

  47. P.S. Are you purchasing just the camera body or the camera + the lens that comes with it? Just curious. :)

    1. I'm just buying the camera body.
