goodbye, april

well, april gets the award for the fastest month in the history of ever. i can't even. how is it already may?! i think i'll probably never stop saying that, so get used to it. this is my april recap of the art projects that i didn't really do did....sort of.

i finally hung up my kelli murray picture that i am just obsessed with. is it not the cutest thing you've ever seen? it is. (click her name for a link to her shop.) and i won't disclose how long i searched for those hangers. or what type of things i called them because did you know they are simply called trouser hangers? well, okay then. and i made that "all you need is love" picture by stealing the idea from target and then putting a piece of burlap into a pretty frame and painting it. which is actually a lot harder than it sounds because you have to make sure the burlap is larger than the frame, you have to make sure you have enough paint or you will have to mix it again and you will probably come up with a completely different color and painting on burlap is not the easiest in the history of mediums. so that's that. i like it. and i'll like it more when i have a million more pictures and one really fun and crazy piece i'm planning for may with the kajillion hours of alone time i have. (boo.)

and that's my pretty little book case. i just rearranged everything and removed all of evan's weird books that weren't pretty enough and added a million little things that otherwise did not have a home. my favorite is that vintage frame i spray pained last month that i re-purposed as the "o." those LOVE letters are from our wedding and this is the first time i really included them in decorating. which is sad. do you like the really pretty black cord and camera charger? i do. the picture on the wall is smashed up rambling lyrics from the song "swing life away" by rise against. love. except i might re-do it. i don't know how i feel about it.

i've never really shared pictures of my house before. maybe because i'm finally get my act together and making it pretty? those are our lime green walls that don't look very lime green. turns out, i love them. i'm happy we tinted it a little darker (not so neon) and stuck with it.
