× Another DIY box subscription I've come across is Whimsey Box. It didn't grab me as much as For the Makers did, but its still a neat option.

Regular reminder that if you want to keep up with what I'm up to at the moment to please follow me on twitter or tumblr. /apologizes to my journal for slacking off on posting.

Anyway, semi-recently I've decorated my room at New House a bit more.




A couple more pics at my tumblr post here. Furniture is from Target and Ikea, bed linens are from Ikea as well. That barn owl print is from the very awesome Etsy seller Bee Things. I've ordered a couple more bird prints from them and look forward to putting them up somewhere!

We're forever slacking on actually moving stuff to New House, so I think I'm just gonna finally move my desk and other furniture over there so I can get motivated to get on with it. COME ON, SELF, GET CRACKING.

× Underwater photos of miniatures interacting with marine life. These are very cute.

Next post (whenever that is) should be a continuation of my Etsy Finds.

Oops, getting behind on posting WIWT, swatches, and other pics here.

House updates: the pendant lamp has been installed! And it looks great.
