collections and favorites

Andrew and I unpacked a lot more stuff this weekend (including 40 or 50 boxes of books-!) and I had fun making some little arrangements of collectibles here and there. It’s been three years since we lived somewhere with enough space to have my favorite things out instead of mostly boxed up and I was pretty excited to unpack them and arrange them in little mixes! All the details are in the flickr descrips, just click on them to see what’s what if you’re interested.

In the kitchen:

In the dining room:

In the pink princess bathroom:

And on my dresser:

I have a ton of stuff to do today but after I cross enough work things off my list, I plan to attack the craft room again. I had a little light bulb moment, and I’m going to try to pretty up the blah cardboard boxes that fit into an Expedit so nicely. Let’s see if it works!

Susan, you could also use the cardboard boxes as a pattern and make some fabric boxes. They are pretty easy to do, and I think Sew Mama Sew had links to tutorials.

I adore all your vintage finds! You never want me in your house, because I’m not sure I would ever want to leave all that cuteness!

Susan & Andrew: It is such a thrill to see your home taking shape! And the distance from me to you disappears when I see the cannisters & glasses in your kitchen. I’m so glad that you like them.

Wow, I’m so jealous that you’re so unpacked… Glad you have somewhere to put your collections now!
