Flashback Pages

Here is a flashback to the 9th grade! My best friend, Sarah and I had Physical Science class together, and went on a field trip for extra credit because we are cool :) The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices has since moved to the Science Museum of Minnesota, and can be viewed there. The printed papers are from American Crafts.



As a 9th grader, I took my first photography class where we loaded our black and white film into the canister, developed our film + printed the images. Featured are my friends, Kelly, Sarah + Kristin....I always thought the one pic would have been a good Calvin Klein ad. 

The white lace is the backside of a pink Doodlebug border--I flipped it :)

Upcoming Home Projects

These are the upcoming home projects on the horizon:

1. Screen in patio and gain 200+ square feet on the back of our home.









2. Do a factory finish on my 1983 kitchen cabinets using Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations.

3. Repaint living and dining area.
Possible color pallets

• Benjamin Moore Cotton Balls, White Chocolate, and Overcast.
• "Moody" Colors.  Would love to paint the trim white. 

4. Slip cover my 4 dining room chairs, with a pleat and bow.

Love the porch room!  The name of the paint trim is Bunny Cake by Hirshfield's.

Above the fireplace, they used placemats above the fireplace, and the woodshims mirror is fun, too.

Love the yardstick shelves, and the painted art on vintage pans.

Two stacked benches = bookshelf

Living Room-Shutter Collage on Wall

Love the dining room, especially the side table holding the wine bottles,
flowers on the wall, and rust orange "framing" the collection.

On the dining room table, the napkin rings are bracelets re-purposed.

Strawberry kitchen with vintage spools used for knobs on cupboards.

Fence/gate holding the pots and pans, vintage shopping cart for extra storage.

Little girl's room holds butterflies, and a little fence for the valance.

Master Bedroom

Love this! 

Media Room

Skateboard Themed Boy's Room

Garage Birthday Party! 
Paper plates on right wall nailed/pinned on for color,
rug on floor, and trees fill the space.

In the shed, held a reading and writing nook.

Love the hats over the curtains, the word poem on the plates, the trunk under the desk + birdcage.

Backyard cuteness!

Hope you enjoyed!
