Leda Rockoff says
I”m BOLD…I’m braving an east coast winter when I’m a california girl through and through :)
Haley says
I’M BOLD! in spite of the dull off-white walls in my rental. The beautiful hardwood floors help make up for it, but a gorgeous and colorful print would also go a long way.
Jenn says
I’m Bold!
I once painted my kitchen cabinets lavender. Yes, lavender.
Leyre says
Oh my gosh! I love her work, especially the piece in the bottom right – I’m currently trying to make my 18 month old daughter’s room look more lived in (we moved in five months ago – I’m slow) and I’m basing everything I do off the colors in that very print! It sure would be nice to have the ACTUAL print to hang on the wall :)
Leyre says
Oops, I should have read more carefully, forgot to include the fact that I’M BOLD! :)
Samantha Sue says
I’M BOLD boldest move i’ve made? we are city folk in the process of buying a 17 acre farm!
DonnaVDL says
I’M BOLD! Our massive house renovation coincided with my maternity leave 2 years ago. Approving our modern home’s contractor work in the middle of winter with a newborn baby in upstate NY while the house had no heat or insulation was one of the bravest things I’ve done (don’t totally worry, we were still living in our old house during this time). Plus we still have empty walls that need some fab art!
Lindsay says
I’M BOLD! Boldest move ever: quitting my job as a teacher during the middle of the school year because our administration was just.that.bad.

I’m Bold! I moved halfway across the US!

I’m BOLD! I moved across the country for love :)

I’M BOLD! I moved half way across the world to be with the man of my dreams..terrifying at the time but definitely the best decision of my life.

I’m BOLD! I ran my first half marathon last year after only ever running a total of 8 miles!! Scary!
SJ says
I’M BOLD! I finally set a date for my wedding- coming from a girl that was “NEVER” getting married a few short years ago! The date makes it so much more real, and impossible to put off any further!
Danielle A says
I’m Bold because I’ve finally learned to say “NO!”
Meghan says
I’m BOLD!
Erin says
I’M BOLD!
I decided to break out of my comfort zone and do a boudoir photo shoot for my husband for our first anniversary. I have never ever done anything like that before, so it was a little scary! I love the pictures, though, and I am sure he will too. It was totally worth doing it.
I am also bold in that I have started to redo furniture on my own and haven’t made anything since I was eight and my dad helped me make a birdhouse!
Kate says
I’m Bold! Just quit my job and moved to NYC!

Becca says
I’M BOLD!!
In November 2010, for my 26th birthday, I traveled to Nassau Bahamas alone and stayed with a stranger I met on Couchsurfing.org. It was absolutely the best birthday I have ever had and am not planning on traveling alone at least once a year! :)
Angela says
I’M BOLD…because I planned my wedding in 4 months. Not only that, but I spent the month before my wedding hanging out in Brazil by myself! People couldn’t believe that I was leaving the country for an entire month that close to my wedding, but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity! Plus, I’m a super-fast planner and decision maker, so the wedding was under control. :)
Keely says
I’M BOLD!

IM BOLD!!! I’m the queen of spontaneous road trips. Who knows where I’m gonna go next (or when!)
Liz says
I’m BOLD!

Whitney says
I’M BOLD!!
I started my own business this year :)
and I LOVE skydiving!

I’m Bold! I auditioned for a musical. Not too bold for some, but for me, my heart raced. Especially since I can hardly carry a tune… It was a thrill though!
Amy says
I’M BOLD and I never match my socks.
Andrea D says
I’M BOLD!!! I chop all my hair off every few years. I let it grow out, chop it all off (usually about 6-10 inches) then start the cycle again.
Katie says
Do you donate it? I did the same thing (but it was more like 16 inches) and donated it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Now I’m starting the cycle again too :)
Kelsey says
I’M BOLD. Because I dare to pursue my dream career.

Catherine says
I’M BOLD!
Sarah says
I’m BOLD. I went to London for summer school the summer before my senior year of high school all by myself (thanks to a scholarship from Coca-Cola). After that summer, I knew I couldn’t live in my small town forever.

I’ve traveled throughout Europe on my own!

I’M BOLD! I recently took a job that I was always terrified to do, and I’m doing great!
Amrita Raja says
I’M BOLD…because I moved out to Paris by myself for seven months last year, and getting used to doing everything in another culture/language (from visiting the doctor to setting up a bank account), while settling into a new life, new friends, new job, etc. was quite the challenge!
