Betty When You Call Me You Can Call Me
Betty When You Call Me You Can Call Me
I have a not-close colleague that I call a name that is structurally similar to but not actually "Allen." I call him "Allen" because all his other colleagues call him "Allen." Plus, when we first met, he introduced himself to me as "Allen."
However, there are two people I know who Ive heard refer to him in conversations as "Al." Both these people happen to hold important positions in funding agencies from which Allen gets money. I wonder if its that "Allen" says "Call me Al" to these people, or, if funding people spontaneously decide to start calling you by the nickname form of your name, you dont correct them.
Next time I meet somebody who could be financially helpful for my projects, Im walking straight up and introducing myself as "Scar."

Beds in Front of Windows Yes You Can!
Beds in Front of Windows Yes You Can!

| {The Hunted Interior} |
Yes! You can pull it off! I did it, and you can too!
I mentioned at the end of Mondays post that I would share some examples and I have some great ones to show you today, but lets talk about the "why" first. Furniture placement is so important to the flow, function, and look of a room, and sometimes doing something that might seem a little unconventional ends up working best.
Typically, beds are positioned against walls, right? Sure, but what if your bedroom is small (hello city living!), every wall has windows (not a bad problem!), or if it just feels right? Then it might be time to break that rule and push that bed up against the windows. To make it feel less awkward and purposeful, frame the bed with curtains or other window treatments, choose a headboard (or dont) that you love, flank the bed with pretty side tables, and hang mirrors if you can. Dont forget to hang those curtains high and wide, friends! When done well, all of a sudden, that bed under the windows becomes the beautiful focal point and youve got yourself a winner of a bedroom.
Lets take a look at some of the pretty examples I grabbed from around the web:
