I left Tucson August 5th and since them have been to Colorado, through Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, and have spent time both in eastern and western Washington. I have definitely enjoyed myself, but am also at the point where I am ready to get home. Through Montana we caught some rain and low lying clouds which was quite the treat considering I am living in Tucson.
While up in Northeastern Washington, we spent a day four-wheeling and exploring in the mountains. About the only "wild" life we saw were some cows, but it was still a great time.
After leaving eastern Washington we took the North Cascade route through Winthrop, over the Cascades and down to the coast. There must be something in the water of "Diablo Lake" as there is nothing natural looking about it.
I'll finish up my travels in the next post. For now, enjoy this months wallpaper. This was taken on a ferry between Anacortes and Friday Harbor, Mount Baker can be seen in the distance.
Thanks for Looking,
Robert Wilson

I love this DIY project from Shannon Fricke who did this for The Woman's Weekly - the perfect way to jazz up an old piece of furniture whilst making stunning use of those left over wallpaper pieces that you just didn't quite know what to do with! Clever lady she is!

I went to my first estate sale this month.
It was pretty much everything I expected it to be. Odd and bizarre. But sad too. They have a different vibe than thrift or antique stores. The people there seem more respectful due to the fact that they're in a recently deceased person's home.
So besides the obvious downer...
Being an extremely nosy person, I loved being able to see how other people lived and then be able to take away with me a little piece of their lives to incorporate into my own.
Observe:
Place: Estate sale in Concord
Hosted: by Hospice of the East Bay
(You can sign up to get email notifications of local estate sales there^)
Bought: Impressionist book and 2 dress patterns for $1.50


I also bought 5 more pattern sets at ARF for $.25 a pop.
You're thinking, "What's the deal with all the outdated dress patterns?"
And I'm answering, "Wallpaper. Lots of wallpaper on the window wall of my bedroom."


Once I collect enough patterns, I'm going to be doing a wallpaper/decoupage hybrid with all of them. Hopefully, the paper will hold up and not tear. I'll post the process of that once I get to it.
On a side note, I'm planning on using the Impressionist pictures as decor as well. And I got to see that painting on the right in person at the de Young Museum! If you get the chance, you should really go.

However this time it's about my apartment, NOT clothes...shocking.
Found a desk similar to this at Savers yesterday for about 14 bucks.
Here's my idea...cover it with wallpaper, the top and inside at least...maybe even wrap the legs...with wallpaper like this...or just paint the whole desk...:

...And then use it as my bedside table.
Thoughts? I'm too giddy and stressed out to make a decision.
bisous.
