New Layout

February 5th, 2012

Just wanted to stop by and say that Completely Unfinished has a new look! The old layout has been up since June, and was definitely in need of a refresh & more organization. I’m still tweaking a couple things–mostly in the sidebar. Jump out of your reader and check it out :)

Heart-gyle Desktop Wallpaper

I’m always super stoked about the first of the month! I designed a wallpaper back in the fall and wanted to share another one after the idea of argyle + hearts popped into my head. Right click & open in a new window to save the image.

Here’s a sneak peek of what I have planned for my birthday month:

- Graphic design book review
- Giveaway!
- Thrift finds
- Inspired by Modcloth DIY
- A printable
- January Photo-a-day part 2


January Photo A Day part 1

January 26th, 2012

photo a day

This month [like a bunch of bloggers], i’ve been doing the photo a day challenge from Fatmumslim.com. Although, I haven’t been doing one a day–instead a bunch at a time on the weekends when I can take photos in the daylight. Maybe at some point I’ll really do a photo per day challenge, but for this I wanted to use my SLR instead of my phone’s camera. This will definitely be easier in the summer when there’s more hours of natural light! Here’s some of my favorites, you can see the rest on my Flickr if you’d like!

Recipe for a good mood

January 23rd, 2012

Hello friends! Last week was super busy so i’m stoked this week is more slow moving. I’ve been getting a lot of migraines + doing a lot of design work, which is clearly not a good combo. [that probably goes hand in hand too--too much starting at screens!] Even with the migraines (thank gosh for my medication even though it makes me super sleepy) I was more productive than I thought. Finished up a website, almost done with another one, and on a whim I started redesigning my blog layout yesterday. As soon as I decide on a color scheme i’ll be changing it over!

With feeling sick & exhausted comes the need for pick-me-ups–so here’s what i’ve been loving from my week via my non-iphone phone:

1 // The fact that it’s staying light out longer – my drive home from work while the sun was setting
2 // Ice cream cones in the winter
3 // Old school mixtapes
4 // Inspiring horoscopes


Basement Makeover

January 18th, 2012

basement

Before…

My younger brother just went back to college after being home on break for almost a month. At the end of the summer, our basement got a bit flooded and we had to rip up a lot of the carpet, leaving it pretty much unusable since then. It’s not a finished basement obviously, but we’ve spent time making it our own [and hey, I like the unfinished basement look anyway!]

So while my brother was home he & I spent two days giving my parent’s basement a makeover–putting down a new rug, throwing stuff out, and re-arranging everything. Here’s a little tour!

couches

Pillows I made, a new old green couch, and we finally got a bookshelf.

couch and table

Old old couch (sofa bed!) for sleepovers & a table I got thrifting in college. So cute–i’m pretty sure it’s from Urban Outfitters.

music gear

This is my little music corner + most of our guitars. My Clash poster that’s restricted to the floor…Apparently my music taste is not good enough & doesn’t even come close to the Beatles :P I’m not sure why I have two saxophones…

vintage mac

Check out my old pink iMac! I’m not sure what to do with it, so it kind of just chills behind the couch. I’ve upgraded it & it works except it won’t save any files! I originally got it just for music recording purposes. Anyone have an idea for it?

My interior decorating trained Mom even said the space looked great. Success? ♥ I definitely want to hang out down there more now…it feels so cozy. Next stop–make my craft area pretty!
