What Happens When a Design Student Has Too Much Free Time?

They spend it doing bad things to their wallet! It seems like every time I have a semester that does not offer me any interior design classes, which seems to be too frequent lately, I spend all of my pent up design energy on my own home. It is so much cheaper for me to make design boards for pretend homes!

I will never buy shredded cheese again! I will only purchase it in block form so that I can use this fun mouse cheese grater.

Now I am dreaming of the Orla Kiely line of bedding and I really think this would be perfection in my guestroom.

I have also talked Gabe into helping me paint the wall behind our bed in the master bedroom yellow. I need to go back to work tomorrow before I start knocking down walls! ;)
