My brother and I have often talked about submitting photos of our home to Apartment Therapy for a house tour- once we’ve finished up all of the construction projects.  But in September, I was completely caught of guard when Apartment Therapy contacted me with a request for a tour!  Needless to say, we were thrown into a whirlwind of trying to complete all of the long term projects here at the house.  We didn’t get it all done as we had hoped, but we have definitely made quite a bit of progress since last summer.

Last year I was quite the crafty holiday girl. I made these candle holders with my dad using birch logs, a circular drill bit, and votive holders. I decorated shaker boxes with Hambly rub ons. I made Christmas stockings out of thrifted sweaters, and a tree to hang them on using woodgrain contact paper and 3M hooks. I was also inspired by the movie Elf to turn my chandelier into a winter wonderland.

This year, all I have made is a wreath from a thrifted T-shirt. I just can’t seem to find the motivation or ideas. What are you making this year? I seriously need a project. So, any ideas would be lovely!

We finally have things put together in the office!  This is only the first time around, and there is always lots of editing to be done after the first arrangement.  but the desks will stay put where they are.  I would like to get some white storage boxes to put on the lower shelves of my desk, just to be a little more subtle.  Working out storage is key to an efficient workplace, right? So, here it is!
