WDL Demo Rss

spring has sprung!

The weather is finally warming up, and I am able to add a few pops of springy color to my wardrobe. You don't even understand how excited I am about spring! This winter has been a bugger. I recently added this handbag and this scarf to my ever growing stash. I love that yellow, teal, slate blue, and dark dark reds are back. So cool, so mod, soooo my style! :)

I'm still looking around for a spring trench that doesn't look like everyone else's, but also could be worn into fall. Any ideas?

I have recently found that I enjoy crafting. I just made this lovely coat rack for my front entry (ok... it's actually the two feet near my door in my living room).

I had seen this really awesome wooden knob installation on another blog (I can't remember.. oops!) Anyway, it was like a million bucks. So, I made due with an old frame/painting from Goodwill, some wooden drawer pulls, and some left over black paint. 

I wanted to make something that looked like art when standing alone, but also served a function. I think I did pretty well...

*ps: crafting makes me think of the country style crafts that are all about the midwest, and were in every home I had been in as a child. So, I like to think I'm being arty... not crafty. :)

I love my apartment. It makes me so happy to come home to it every day. Sorry that the pics are backwards. I took them with my MacBook a while ago... I should really take some new ones, because it is ever changing! :)

My dining room/desk/crafting area
And finally... introducing the chair I rescued from a dumpster! (new paint and fabric, of course!)

why, hello there!

Welcome to my new blog! I'm really hoping that this will be a place for me to share my design ideas, post my lovely finds, and give you a window into my life. Enjoy... and thanks for stopping by!
