Changes are happening everywhere. This weekend kicks off our official start to home renovations, part II. Sure we have painted some rooms, hallways, doors, etc. but now is where the fun begins. We have been waiting a while to pick out carpet for our three bedrooms and finally, in just a few weeks it will be going down. Huge victory for us as Jared and I hate making decisions on things like carpet. Regardless, we will finally be able to decorate our master bedroom and work on our master bath. Here are some things that are inspiring us. Check back soon for updates on how the projects are going.

We are using this as inspiration for wall color and furniture color.

This makes me so excited. We are going to be working with this idea in our master bath. The bathroom is very tiny (the one we have, not the one in the picture) so we want to make it look as elegant as possible. I love this picture.

Off to the paint store we go!

i couldn’t say no

I made my first order on Etsy last week.  I was so excited when it arrived!

Andy’s face got a little cracked during shipment but I’ve decided it adds character.  I am thinking about doing a little shadow box and story for these guys.  I’ll post more when I am finished!

first time

while kathleen was in town, we spent some time talking about future art projects.  we discussed some of the artists we were really inspired by.  one of those artists is lisa condgon.  lisa does a lot of work with mixed media and shadowboxes.  so we decided to take a stab at a shadow box.  i finished my first one today.  i am pretty happy with it but i did make some beginners mistakes.  here are some pictures of the project completed.  in the future, i’ll make allowance for how close the right side of the design got to the box frame.  oh well, it looks good for my first try!

p.s. i’d love your feedback.
