It's been almost a year since we moved into this cute little house (cool story about why we live here), and I still haven't posted any pictures. I keep thinking I will once I'm "done" decorating but I'm never done. There is always something I want to change or add or move around.
So...here it is. Always a work in progress. The front room:
-The view from the kitchen. Love that floor -
- An antique that made it's way across the sea with immigrants. I painted it aqua and I'm just in love with it. It's my favorite piece of furniture-
-My art and photography books, and monster posters that we'll frame eventually-
-Engagement picture, Disney Family Fun magazine article Mae and I were in, family history photos, a lamp that needs some kind of shade.-
-The kitchen has a small room built off of it that is supposed to be a dining area. It is so awkwardly shaped that our table didn't fit in there, so we chow here and I made the nook my art studio-
-A photograph I took of my daughter and a drawing I did of my husband, daughter and I.
I need to draw a new one with Sawyer-
-My sock monkey made for me by my sister and a rad "Lord of the Rings" video disc. Remember those?-
-The time out chair-
-My grandmothers hutch and a chair I painted in high school. It's an old Wendys chair. -
-He's not excited that you're about to put your ass on his face.-
-On top is a Madame Alexander doll my mom passed down to Mae, a chess set from China, my Mickey Mouse ears, and my bridal picture.-
-I love everything in my hutch. My house has to be filled with things that has a history and sentimental value. I'm a sucker for anything with a story-
-Vintage cameras, postcards from family, and a Geisha fan. I love Geishas!-
-Vintage Mark Twain books, reading picture cards, and vintage Yahtzee and Scrabble-
-My mom and I while she was going through one of her many rounds of chemo-
-Vintage Disney books and Tom Sawyer. An interesting fact about this book: A few years after I had Mae, I just knew that our next kid would be a boy. I also knew that I wanted to name him Ender or Sawyer. I came across this book in a shop and had to buy it. A few years later I got pregnant, it was a boy, and we named him Sawyer. I love having a book with my husbands and my sons name on it.-
-Random knick knacks and an owl candle. It makes the hutch smell so good-
-Crafts that Tom and Mae made at free art museum day-
-Vintage Mickey Mouse doll, and of course, one of the greatest gifts I've ever received "Little Ballerina"-
-Whale salt shaker. You know how I feel about whales...-
-Acquire! A tradition in my husband family. Okay, obsession, actually-
-This is a door. It opens and closes.-
-A couple of our Disneyland posters. We get one every time we go-
Well, there you have it, folks! This is by far my favorite room in the whole house.
