Matchstick Design

Matchstick Design My name is Paige. I live for interior design and engineering. I aspire to be many things and my best friend is ambition. Matchstick Design is my inner workings of inspiration I get while thinking about the creation of my future designs.

I’m sorry.

An apology out to my follower tumblr friends. I have been so busy with senior design and do not have much time to post. :( It will definitely pick up in the summer when I start thinking about my portfolio for grad school. Sorry about this :(

inside out, upside down twisting beside myself

stop that now. cause you and I were never meant to be.

I think you better leave; its not safe in here.

I feel a weakness coming on.

alright then. I could keep your number for a rainy day.

that’s where this ends, no mistakes no misbehaving.

oh, I was doing so well- can we just be friends?

I feel a weakness coming on. It’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all.

I don’t want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.

MIA

I just wanted to let you all know I will be MIA for quite awhile. Might check stuff on here once a day, but may not post for quite awhile.

Engineering school/senior design at 17 credits. Rough times.

Questions? This could be fun if someone would participate. :)

Reblogged from him-me-and-theusmc-deactivated2

  • 2: Name a favorite of each: food, drink, color.
  • carbs(pasta, bread, pizza, etc.), a specialty espresso drink from Stone Creek Coffee, come on, I can't list one color. I want to be an interior designer.
  • 3: If you married rich and your spouse gave you $100,000 a week, what would you spend it on?
  • I don't think my spouse would do that, considering we would be making the same amount of money(pretty close-we both want to do almost the same thing-designer/engineer) I would spend it on any of the following: Aston Martin V12 Zagato, great furniture from my favorite stores, etc. I would save most of it for maybe getting a PhD or traveling the world. Donating some to a reputable charity is nice too.
  • 4: Name a favorite of each: book, movie, tv show.
  • Hue by Kelly Wearstler, Wicker Park. I have a few tv shows I watch. Anything with Jeff Lewis is stellar but I love Dexter, Shameless, the OC, Weeds, etc.
  • 5: If you were given the opportunity to spend 48 hours with absolutely anyone (living or dead), who would you spend it with and what would you do?
  • I love spending time with my bff, Shaun when I can. We love to get lattes, take walks, and we just have great conversation. I would really like to spend time with Jeff Lewis or Kelly Wearstler and help them with whatever they need. Learn what I can from who I look up to and have a great time with interiors.
  • 7: What do you spend most of your money on?
  • parking, school expenses haha
  • 11: What is the strangest thing you have in your room? (You are not allowed to explain why you own it.)
  • a clay buddha mini statue that my old friend made when he was in rehab
  • 12: What is a weird habit you have, or people have told you have. (Weird, not bad. No nail biting or any of that nonsense.)
  • loving to clean-I have OCD. getting on edge if something is a mess.
  • 14: What are five things you absolutely have to have in your dream house?
  • 1) a nice espresso machine built into cabinetry; 2) sleek, modern furniture; 3) an art gallery; 4) studio space(my office); 5) balcony with chaise lounges to sun myself from lack of sun throughout my school years hahahah
  • 22: What band merch do you own? If any, whose is it and when did you get it? If none, whose do you wish you owned?
  • Stars T-shirt- A year ago maybe. Broken Social Scene book-who knows when. Broken Social Scene poster. Other stuff somewhere too.
  • 23: How did you learn of the band that is currently your favorite?
  • My absolute favorite band is the National. I discovered them in the summer of 2008 after graduating high school. My roommate Anna introduced me to them.
