My checkerboard blanket is growing! This was the best distraction idea ever. I don't really take on "long-term" projects so something that takes longer than a week feels like forever. But I am loving it. I love how it's coming together. I love that it's perfectly imperfect. I love that I'll remember where I was…

Remember how I didn't see our townhouse until move in day? I signed a lease based on photos and videos and then was thrilled the day I moved and realized it was 10x better than I imagined. Seriously. I'm obsessed. But one thing I knew right from the beginning that I would want to change…

I'm still obsessed with Instagram as both an editing & photo sharing app. I had some of my favorite photos from the past few months turned into magnets by stickygram.com. I received them yesterday and they're awesome. I want to cover my entire fridge.

Welcome to our house! This is what you see when you enter (if your view is carefully edited into a 4×6 inch image). Let's refresh a bit. Below are some before (Thursday, December 1st) photos and some after photos. To be clear, I would be very pleased if the only thing I'd done is replace…

EDIT! I've gotten a lot of questions about this project and shared some extra tips here! This project was completely inspired by this. I loved the huge size. I loved the black and white. My original plan was to make my handwriting messy and almost not readable just like that inspiration image. But then I…

I painted this clay pot over Thanksgiving and was excited to transplant my favorite plant into it as part of the unpacking process over the weekend. I used Liquitex Acrylic paint (so one step up from the cheap craft paint) and covered the whole thing in white before freehanding the black triangles. It’s perfectly imperfect…

I have had this project in my head since last Christmas season and am happy I was finally able to execute it. While I wanted for my paint at Home Depot last week, I picked up a cheap ($6) piece of wood that was 4 feet by 12 inches. I had them cut it down…

I am in the market for some big art to cover the walls of our new place. It's mostly going to be a mix of DIY (like this) and some prints I bought recently from 20×200. However, I want to toss a few photos on the walls too. I joked awhile back about hanging this…

Super inspired by these two pins. (Original sources : framed / hearts.) Not sure if it's because Paul and I are separated on a map or because shortly we'll be moving to a new city (Ventura, CA in early December!). Either way, I know I am going to need some DIY map decorations for our…
