About Me

I started this blog at the urging of my AK friends to help relay my moving to WA. I'm hoping this blog will evolve into a place where I share my home-decorating/remodeling, craft projects, and adventures in dog-ownership.

Thanks for reading!!

Wallpaper

I confiscated some vintage texturized Wallpaper samples from one of my elementary schools, and I convinced Thom that yes indeed they needed to be brought down to WA from AK.  So now I have found proof that others think vintage wallpaper samples are AWESOME!

I'm thinking we have some very boring white doors with panels just screaming for textured color.  And a funky lamp shade, and I'm devising how to make a big wall art above our bed (since painting is too far in the future, and I want to paint bathroooms first anyways...)

So my current inspiration websites...
