january 2012!

happy super belated new year!

here's a few of my recent home additions/makeover projects!

old wooden crate from this amazing store on west 4th! http://www.stepback.ca/

I read his wife's blog, she has a love of turquoise like me: http://mabelshouse.blogspot.com/

I got this le creuset kettle for Christmas from the husband, I LOVE it and its cheery red color.

I scored these super cute salt & pepper shakers at a weird vintage flea

night market in gastown a couple weeks ago.

Project Bedroom!

I decided it was time to finally start a few things in this sadly neglected room of ours.

Some typeography art for above the bed kind of freshened up the place to start...

then, I decided to tackle the bedside tables!

*fun fact: i bought these when I was 16 at Ikea with my mom, they were pine, and like $15 each.

I then proceeded to stain them orange for some reason. My parents just shrugged and probably were relieved that

I'd rather paint furniture in the backyard instead of getting drunk behind London Drugs. That came later. HA

from boring, practical brown to sunshiney yellow!

Getting there! The room was too messy for a full shot, but baby steps people, baby steps.
