Gnome Place Like Home

(farm painting= thrift store, tiny orange gnome=??????)


Well, I guess its finally time for me to post here. As Claire will more than happily tell you, this whole thing was kind of my idea, but as usual, I've been a little slow getting started. So, how about we take it easy at first. Let's just climb over the fence and sneak a few little peeks at how things are shaping up around the apartment. It has only been 7 months, but we are finally getting it together.(Like I said, slow getting started....)



(cat= Claire's, book= They Called Her Styrene, Ed Ruscha)


(owls print=Laura Baisden@isle of printing, frame=thrift store, big orange gnome=Deals+spray paint+me, house blocks=poplar+me+Claire, grass=the internet)


(curtain=IKEA, green gnome=same as above.)


(shelves=scrap wood+me, chair=waiting room+Claire's mom, rug=TJ Maxx)

So, a little bit of progress being made. We've ripped up carpet, re-plastered parts of walls, repainted almost everything, with more to come. Eventually I'll get around to posting a little before/after business, but I'm just looking forward for now.
