Quote Wall

Our quote wall was a family project.  Bryan not only picked a few but he made a couple too!  

It was simple, inexpensive and fun.  One style is done by using stickers and painting over then removing the stickers once dry.  The ones that look like water colors are written with Elmer's glue then painted over.  The Elmer's glue softens when you apply the acrylic paint so you have to be careful.  Some these are difficult to read but they look beautiful.

Ch ch ch changes!

It's been a while since I've blogged.  I'm sure no one's really missed it.  I'm aware that it's more of a personal tool for me to keep motivated and involved in the creative world.

We've made a lot of changes and we're finally settled in our new apartment.  I'm excited to really get down to business with decorating.  A couple of projects I have to tackle are our master bedroom, recovering our couches instead of replacing them, and our patio.  Yay for plants!  Plus I have a few small projects here and there.  My plan is to have everything the way I want it for when we relocate again.  I like taking away all the guess work and getting settled fast.

I'm also doing some research for a friend of mine for a special project involving Mars.  I'm pretty pumped about the images I've found for prototype spacesuits.  Anyway I have so many ideas and plans that I need to make a list of goals so I can accomplish everything!

Here some images of things I've been up to over the past few months.

Our dining area with the finished chairs and white table.  I think it needs faux chandelier to add some more definition to the space. 

There are some really great designs coming out for Martian exploration.  Because of the dust storms, the best designs are brightly colored so the suit can be spotted.   I love all the black lines on this one.  Although I'm not sure if they'll appear on the exterior in the final product.

Even cold days at the beach are better then no days at the beach.

So things haven't been to exciting in our new place but they should pick up here soon.
