enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

the walls are clear.

Nails

I pulled 53 nails out of the wall yesterday and today. It's a lot of wall art.

Stacked

The site of frames stacked up makes me so excited. I love the idea of a total change up. At the next house, I'll line up every single piece of art we have on the floor and then pick which is going in which room. If I do my job right, nothing will be paired exactly how it was in this place.

Fresh starts are the absolute best.

…and speaking of fresh starts : I changed up the colors around the blog this morning because I couldn't sleep last night. Apparently the green was driving me crazy.

    I’ve been really loving reading about your moving updates as we are moving next weekend. Right now, all of our things are off the wall. I can’t wait to have a “home” again. Hope you are feeling well!

    We’ve moved overseas and back a few times and I only wish that I had had your awesome perspective in the early years. Adventure. Change (good amazing pinch-me moment) change. Fresh starts. You are truly an inspiration.
    Love the new colors.

    Lovely new colors! They are perfect. 🙂 I think its really neat that a lot of your wall art goes together so they are not stuck in one particular room. I’d like to eventually have that continuity in my house.

    I liked the green, I like the browns. I am LAUGHING OUT LOUD at the color change-up. Absolutely hilarious. We just get our itches, don’t we?

    i wonder if the color preference could be hormones, you know, like food cravings? 😉

    I love the “dusty rose” that seems to be throughout the new colour scheme… like the blog is totally opening up and embracing the little lady growing within you!

    LOVE the new colours!
    I’ve also been itching for a change, blog-wise, and I’ve just commissioned two different designers for my personal and business blogs. Can’t wait for SIMPLICITY and lots of white space 🙂

    I really like the new colour, they’re really pretty.
    Although I liked the green too. But there’s something quite peaceful about these colours 🙂 Maybe just what you needed in such a time of big changes 🙂
    I’m always amazed at how well you choose colours and patterns for whatever you do 🙂
    Looking forward to seeing your new place all made up Elise-style.

    I actually prefered what was before the green {but for the life of me can’t remember – I think it was blank/white? lol.} But this brown is lovely! So calming and it makes everything pop! Love it! 🙂

    The browns are calming and soothing – I imagine just what you need as the baby comes along.
    To make the changes, do you have to go into Photoshop and change each header individually, or is there a way to do them all at once?
    Thanks!
