I've got some stories.
The last picture i showed you really inspired me to start taking some awesome photos. The majority of Wednesday - Friday, I played up in my office. I pulled things from all over the house and tried to capture them. I ended up with some really cool photos. Look out for a website update in a week or two. I don't want to make any promises about what its going to be like, but if i learn some things between now and then, it might be unlike any I've had to date.
(My setup for the new work. And Liz's dress in the background... We can't find a place for it)This past weekend Liz and I went to my house in Chattanooga. We visited family and had a wedding reception planned for us. As much fun as the trip proved to be, we were most excited about sleeping together under my parents roof. It just felt dirty.
While we were there i got to carry out a project that i had been mulling over since we started our wedding plans. We had bought some wood from the Habitat Home Store to construct rough tables for the reception. I happened to notice that some of the wood we grabbed was really nice. I spent the better part of Sunday in the garage building the new addition to our living room. The only thing that diverted my attention was our garage flooding from all the rain.
Along with the excitement of having built the entertainment center, we left with the realization that we had a house warming party in just six days (and a completely unwarmed home). We had no furniture, no organization, no art, no feel. While that can be stressful, its really been a lot of fun. I've been playing Trading Spaces for the past 4 days. In a conversation with Liz i noted that I'm finally getting to the chance to carry out my crazy ideas i've held close since high school. Its been an amazing time exercising my creativity in this facet.
Here are some of the new additions to the place:
(This is about 4'x 2.5'. Im really stoked with how it turned out.)(From left to right: Our new IKEA Expedit bookcase via ModerNash; New Vase from West Elm with a cool wall hanging I made over Christmas vacation; My Great-Grandmother's old Lamp with a new look! Its looking for a new shade.)Ps. Im still loving the new camera. Its really changed my game.
