come-on-a-my-house

we decided to do some home renovations last weekend and it was some fun. i use the term 'renovations' loosely as we didn't really do any caulking or deck work more just like moved things around and bought some stuff and got inspired by our space.

not a renovation, a quilt! we realized this weekend that we like something called 'flea market style' when jer was flipping through this book in anthropologie. (in other news all my decisions are now guided by this beautiful store which costs ten thousand times what you'd spend at a flea market unless it is a flea market where gold is sold.)

basically the style is that you decorate using stuff you find or get for free or for five bucks from a yard sale. this quilt was 50 dollars so it's not following those rules but it's still antique and cute and i want to curl up in the centre of it like a cat and have a nap.


not a renovation either but a wedding teaser!!!


cool old keys from the antique market that are part of a neat new project jeremy is working on. he's so creative! i love that we have projects. and i love that i can take partial credit cause we're a 'we'. that's how that works right?

the picture wall! these pictures have been on the floor in this formation for months and months and this weekend marked the end of their long and patient wait. way to go pictures!

the photo on the right with the bike i got in montreal from some photographer on a street corner. lily got one too only hers doesn't have the bike and we pretend the bike is gone from her picture because it is over visiting me. speaking of which lily if this bike is going to live here full time, you really should be sending some support.

the frog one someone's mom made but we got it for a buck at a yard sale, the mug one is a photo jeremy took on his balcony in japan and the little one on the bottom is of cave men hunting grocery carts.

there are more renovations like we put up little wall mounted bookshelves in the bedroom and picked books we love from the big bookshelf and moved them over. also we took down the air conditioner. also fall is a great time to nest.
