House For Sale!

One of my oldest and dearest friends will be moving out west with her family this summer.

We met when we were five and our daughters were born one day apart 

(or 32 hours according to them).

Although Lucy and I are soooo sad to see them go, I am excited for 

their new adventure and for Luce and I to visit!

About a year ago, we began giving the interior of their house a facelift and WOW.  

I tragically lost their before pictures when the hard drive in my laptop crashed, 

so you'll have to trust me when I say the transformation was amazing.

They are having an OPEN HOUSE today if you are in the market for a 

beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood.

I was flattered when they asked me to take these pictures for them.

OPEN HOUSE TODAY

Good Luck Friends! 

I know it will sell fast....

Some of my Favorite Photos

I've had bad luck with any sort of technology lately.

ANY sort.  BAD luck.

The thing that upset me the most was breaking my camera and favorite lens.

So I'm sharing some of my favorite pictures from the past couple years

and celebrating the arrival of a new (upgraded) camera

that I should have in my hands tomorrow.

{{{Thank you VERY much to the person that is helping me}}}

Hallway Decorating Ideas

Once I finish a project, I'm already brainstorming and ready to start on the next one.

I have a nice long hallway that will be perfect to do something FUN!

I'm excited and a tad overwhelmed because there are so many options.

 

Wallpaper would be my first choice, but since I rent,

I want to keep things inexpensive and relatively easy.

can you say amaze-statment?

one of all time favorite wallpapers.  

 

There are so many great things you can do with
washi tape or vinyl stickers, so it's currently the route I'm leaning towards....

What IS washi tape?  It's high grade masking tape originating from Japan.
Washi tape can be used on anything!
It's low-adhesive which makes it easy to use and re-use.
It comes in different widths, colors and patterns.

vinyl kitties!

flamingo's!

 

pretty sure I could do this with a sharpie...

 

washi tape?  even love the color.

 

herringbone.

 

currently my front runner.....

 



easy peasy.

 

this was done with a sharpie.  (my favorite art supply).

 

 

 

I plan to hang some photos along the hallway (and who knows what else).

Looking forward to share the finished product!
