apartment stuff

I'm not sure what direction this blog will go in. I've had a livejournal for 6 (whoa!) years but I feel like I needed a new place to just post stuff.

Karl and I moved into our place last May and slowly but surely we've put stuff on the walls to add some personality. The first thing that went up was the robot teddy bear picture that he already had, as seen below.


Next, my favorite of all our decor... the cheese & crackers painting. This photo was taken by our friend Amy at our housewarming party. I didn't even know she took it until I saw her flickr! I'm glad other's like it as much as we do.


The last thing we've put up was a painting we found on the sidewalk while heading over to my grandma's house. This photo is a pinhole picture Karl took with his Diana lomo. I really like it because you can kind of see my shadow...I was going back and forth organizing stuff and it caught me mid movement.

This next photo is a project I hope to complete soon (and by soon I mean by summer) I found these cabinets (and matching doors which aren't in this picture) outside of our friend's apartment. We had this idea of hanging cool stuff on our walls maybe along with some frames, then a bit later we got a Paper Source catalog where they did exactly what we had envisioned! I can't find an image right now but trust me it's rad looking. After I got the stuff all cleaned up I went to Paper Source and got that cherry blossoms on chocolate brown paper and lined the cabinets. Soon I will get them secure enough to hang up on our walls behind our couch!


That's about it for now!
