who likes cheap-as-free art? we do! :)
all of the blank walls in the apartment are starting to drive me a little crazy. so it was time to do something about it.
i got the "hello" letters for my birthday last year, and thought that they would look really cute in an entryway...but, well, apartments don't really have much of an entryway, so it is just placed next to the door :) the hello looked a little lonely and it needed something more though...
so i painted some plain, boring frames a nice, bright orange. then i cut a couple of entries from an old dictionary out and placed them on some funky scrapbook paper i had on hand (leftover from henry's first birthday party). it still needed something more so i added the round stickers to the corners (also already on hand).
austin liked the compass image, and i chose the bicycle :)
we dig it. at first it was going to be just a temporary fix until we found something else...but the little dictionary framed art is starting to grow on us.
then, i found this old wine rack at an antique shop, and bought it for 16 bucks! its nice and solid, and has only a few small boo boos. i have some ideas for painting it, but haven't quite yet decided on the plan, though i am going to convert it into an organizer. you know, someplace to throw the keys, the mail, cell phones, and all that other random junk that usually ends up cluttering the table or countertops....more on that later ;)
btw, the wall to the right isn't yellow, it just looks that way with the lighting.....i was feeling a little lazy with the photos :)
