Fill in the Blank Friday

Right now, I am: Sitting in Starbucks writing this blog post, sipping on my Zebra {black & white} hot chocolate. Not a coffee girl, remember?!

Outside is: Cold. Reallll cold. Like see-your-breath-freezing. It's also very blueish white outside...the color of pure coldness.


I'm excited to: See my pup this weekend! I'm told she's going to go nuts. Probably because she knows I come armed with a camera and there will be many photo shoots.




I'm a little nervous about: Starting my life over again in Los Angeles next year to attend FIDM {but also so excited...I'm doing a direct transfer program with them...2 degrees in 4 years, yes!}


I'm dreaming about: This:
via
When I was really little: I was the biggest accident waiting to happen. Like my dad would actually call me that. I'd spill things, break things, misplace things, and never own up to it. Even though my mom new me laughing nervously and claiming "It wasn't me!" meant it was. Clearly, it was.


When I was in middle school: I was awkward. Let's face it, we all were. And I'm pretty sure I thought my high-top sneakers and sweatshirt around my waist were awesome.


In high school: I met some awesome friends and teachers {some of which are still some of my favorite people in the whole world}. I also stopped wearing high-tops and developed a better sense of fashion. Thankfully. My friends and I wore heels to school sometimes...only on Friday's. Wow, now I'm embarrassed.


In college: I learned how precious life is, and how much my family means to me! And how much I love interior design.


My dream job would be: To be on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. But because they just cancelled the show {so sad}, I'd love to work for a big-name designer {oh hey, Mary McDonald or Emily Henderson?!} in Los Angeles or San Francisco.  After that, I want to start my own residential design firm, reaching all types of people. I wouldn't be opposed to having my own TV show on HGTV or writing a book, either. Dream big, right?!

I'm really scared of: Throwing up. Number one fear in the entire world. I have a record going here...haven't done it since I was 5 or 6.  Except two summers ago when I was allergic to a medication I took for strep throat, but I don't count that one, because 15 years without throwing up sounds much better! Don't tell anyone.


Something not a lot of people know: Is that when I don't like a certain food, I just tell people I'm allergic to it, so I don't sound impolite or picky. I'm am seriously allergic to walnuts, though. Promise.


My favorite type of room is: One that is light, airy, inviting, visually stimulating and creative. One that fills your heart.  A room that says something about the person who lives or works there. One like this:
{via one of my favorite photographer's blogs, Katelyn James Photography. Also seen on House of Turquoise.}

My favorite TV Show is: The Bachelor {guilty pleasure}, Modern Family, all HGTV, and Parenthood. 




That does it.
Now it's your turn. Pick a one {or a few} of these and fill in the blank with your own answer in the comments!
Happy weekend!
Love,

  3. I have a phobia of throwing up too! I start to panic if I feel nauseous and will fight the urge as much as I possibly can (which probably makes it worse). Glad I'm not the only one!

  16. No way!! Did Extreme Home Makeover seriously get cancelled? That makes me so sad, I LOVE that show was well, although some of the design choices leave something to be desired. Its a great gift for those in need though, and very inspiring. Can't wait to see more pics of your new bebe, she is sooo cute!

  17. I am dreaming of a shoe closet like that too! Haha. And I won't tell anyone your throw-up secret ;) that's hilarious, I like to make my stories extra "dramatic" if you will. And that room is beautiful, it represents your personality well I think!

    Happy Friday Michaela! xo

  23. Right now I am waiting for the water to boil to make pasta :) It is gross and cold and rainy and grey outside today, boo :( But I am excited that it's Friday :D I'm nervous about the final fourth year show we're putting on. Things aren't coming together like we thought they would. I'm dreaming about graduation! Can't believe it's only in 4 months! My dream job, I don't know what it would be! I thought it was interior design, but I've realized I love beauty & fashion so much, I'd love to incorporate all three somehow! haha And finally (I know I skipped a few haha) my favourite TV show is Downton Abbey!! But I have a ton more that I love too haha (Modern Fam, Castle, The Good Wife, Bones, Big Bang Theory....) Happy Weekend Michaela!!! xoxo

  28. I'm not much of a coffee girl either, but lattes with only a shot of espresso are divine. I would recommend them if you haven't tried any! My favorites are the pumpkin spice latte and the vanilla latte.

    It's really cold here in MI too. I keep asking myself why I didn't go to college somewhere where it was warmer {besides the cost of out-of-state tuition}.

    Congratulations on getting into FIDM! A high school classmate wanted to go there for fashion design, and I know how hard it is to get in.

    I hate throwing up. I haven't thrown up since I was in eighth grade, although I've gotten sick enough more than a few times since that I thought I was going to. In fact, talking about throwing up is starting to make me a little queasy, so I had better stop.
