Splash from the Past {WW#6}

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

Summer that is. It is quickly turning to Fall around here. I came across this water template that sweet Alicia shared with us while organizing all my photography stuff. I had wanted to do it this past Summer but I forgot about it. Figured the beginning of Fall would be a great time to share my favorite Summer water shots.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

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. 😆

Carsyn’s first day of school. This might be his la Carsyn’s first day of school. This might be his last, first day of middle school. He technically would be in 10th grade this year but we have kept him at the middle school for longer, we love his teachers, plus he will be able to stay in high school until he’s 21.
Seriously in love with this space. It may not be p Seriously in love with this space. It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. 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. 🙌🏼
