Desperately needed home makeover brought to you by Etsy

I've spent this past weekend with people who have it together, nice folks who happen to have well-furnished, interesting, organized apartments where they cook healthy, delicious meals and wake up early in freshly-washed sheets to go and do things like run. These people don't, for example, hide dirty pans in the stove, get clobbered on the head with Tupperware EVERY TIME they open their cabinets, wade through a bog of clothes in order to get into bed, or keep a messy, mysterious, moisturizer-strewn cabinet my husband calls the "product jail" as the only piece of furniture in the bathroom. These people, like so many people before them, are making me want to fix my home in a permanent, adult way.

I should probably consider moving the couch out of the kitchen first,but that's no fun...so I want to buy things. Like these festive tea towels, delicate-patterned napkins, a deer sticker for my wall, and, OK, the only practical item in all of this: An adorable blue antique filing cabinetwhere I can begin to sort and keep my mail (I also hide bills= life fail.)
