Scavenger Hunt Sunday {09.25.11}

Filed Under: Photography

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

Low Key

Tired of night shots yet? I thought this was perfect for low key. What do you think?

Monochromatic

This works. Right? No… well I tried. I NEED this rain to stop. I am having photo taking withdraws.

Circle

Another night shot. These clocks are on the streets downtown.

 

Scarf

I haven’t broken out my scarves yet this year so I am including this photo from last year of a scarf I used in a new born photo shoot.

Phone

Taken with my iPhone. Pretty amazing.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
