nesting & decorating

i don’t know if it’s fall coming on-
but i’ve totally been in the mood to finish some projects and cozy up the house.
(once again, sorry for my bad phone quality shots) 

i was about ready to get rid of this piece and decided i might as well try painting it to see if i’d like it any better.

ahhhhhhhh.  much more to my liking.

found this awesomely old tackle box at an estate sale the other day for only $3!

the wall BEFORE

and AFTER
i can see lots of future chalkboard-art being done on that wall by us all.

hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.
that is… if everyone hasn’t given up on me and there are still people reading this blog!

   How cool is that banana-boat-tray! So you! And the chalk-wall is going to be super. No doubt. It´s such good fun to finish little projects for the home, one appreciates ones surroundings more, the everyday aesthetics of it.
