Places Around Me

I’ve been away for a while, and I was lucky enough to find time to write this post. I do miss writing, but my life and the things going on are taking priority at the moment. I’ll write when I can, and at some point I’ll catch you all up on whats been going on. But for right now lets take it from the top, nice and slow.

I moved back to Michigan 2-3 years ago, and I just wanted you all to get a feel for where I live and how life might be here. I live in the Detroit area, in a small suburb. I take trips around town, and thought I would show you some views.

Enjoy!

Project: Coat Hanger Wall

As most of you know I live in the basement of my parents house. My old "stomping grounds" if you will. Trying to update this space is a little challenging. For one it's not my house, and for two I'm still learning how to organize this space.

Small step! But it's an improvement! 

Here we have the before

Plain plywood wall covering the furnace. Looks pretty drab and blah. I was also was hoping to configure a spot to hang my coats. Just so that I wouldn't have to walk all the way up the stairs to hang my things in the hall closet. 

So I painted the wood the same color as the walls (off white?) and found some old wall hooks that I have hung about here and there when I was 16. I just took them off the wall and relocated them to my coat wall. It is a bit plain and boring, but I really  don't know what else to do. The door opens up right against it, so any shelving or seating wouldn't work. 

Got any ideas? 

Have you ever felt a Spark?

I remember always wanting to be an artist, and it's always been the career I've dreamed of. Sure I've gone off course with thoughts of being something else. Such as a librarian, or a roller skater waitress (a kid can dream right?), as well as being a professional ballerina. But nothing stuck like the feeling of a paint brush or a pencil in my hand.

Breakfast

Somedays it's just good to wake up to a nice breakfast, that you didn't have to make.

Happy!

Today I'm not feeling to well, but nothing makes one happy like a new comforter and some warm tea.

Bring in the happy
