be a good host

I recently had lunch with my lovely friend Betsy in a new restaurant in downtown Des Moines called Host. The decor is cute and shabby chic (reminded me of the restaurants I went to when I was down in Charleston), and the menu is comprised of comfort food made with mostly local ingredients. Of course I had to snap a few pictures while I was in there!

I got the chicken pot pie. So delicious!

Visit their website here, and their Facebook here. And if you're local, visit them (and eat some food) at 1220 Locust Street!

my room is messy

See that? My room is disgusting. To my credit, though, that picture was taken a few weeks ago, and I have since removed the bags of trash and Christmas tree. I've been meaning to clean the rest of my room for about a month now, but you know...motivation and all that....(see the post below). SO, I thought I would post some of my favorite interior design pictures to help inspire me to clean my room! And maybe redecorate it.
