I started another blog: http://everydaymuslimah.wordpress.com/ For more personal daily stuff so I can leave this for Style, Interior design/creative stuff.

I would say the other blog is more my main blog.

I’m a little bit addicted…

…to HGTV! Even my kids comment on it. “Mom is watching that home channel again!”

I just really love watching and seeing what the designers come up with. Of course in real life the interior design process does not work the way it does on tv. I had a would be client think that once and it is very fustrating. For one I am a decorator and they needed and Interior Designer. There is a difference!

Taking a look..

I have been doing some blog hopping and adding to my Blogroll. If you show up there then it’s because I like your blog and want to remember where it is.

In other news, it is snowing here in Kansas today. Inshallah, it will be the last one.

Of course, in this area that just means tornado season is just a little closer. Not looking forward to that…

What I am Reading…

The Content of Character: Ethical Saying of the Prophet Muhammad

I got this book at the Half Priced Book store and it has become my favorite before bedtime reading. For a small book there is a lot in there to think about.

House Thinking: A Room-by-Room Look at How We Live- This book is pretty much about interior design psychology and history. It’s more about what makes a home feel right than what makes a home look right. A home should feel and function right before it looks pretty. A pretty room that does not function or feel good to be in is just a waste.

Slow?

I was away from blogging for a while and it seems really slow or many blogs I used to visit are just gone now.

Decorating?

Yes, there will be posts about decorating, Interior Design and stuff like that. Why? Because I am aspiring Interior Decorator* and I am going to college for it right now.

*The degree is for Interior Merchandising but I plan on using it to do Interior Consulting/Decoration, Inshallah.

A Good Listen…
