Bits and Pieces

For as long as I can remember I have loved to create atmospheres. Rooms, parties, photographs, all had to emit a feeling, every detail having a purpose. When I found out I was having a little girl after having two boys, to say I was excited about creating an atmosphere for her is an understatement. That was two years ago, and her room is still not finished.

We kinda had to do some big house rearranging to get enough bedrooms on the same floor, I lost my own private art studio and a closet, but we made it work. Financial situations arose and I was with child unexpectedly, leaving the Little Bird's room unfinished.

I have been collecting things for the girls' room for a while and am finally getting to pull all things together. I can't wait to reveal the result, though honestly not sure when that will be. Here are a few bits and pieces that I am thinking will make it into their room.

All were found through thrifting, I am trying to use as much thrifted, hand-me-downs and vintage pieces as possible. So far the only "new" stuff I have used is curtains, curtain rods and bedding fabric.

Thrifty Thursday

First off, thank you so much guys for your kind words the other day. In my my heart I know we are all connected, but it sure is a wonderful reminder to see it manifest. I am learning to be gentle with myself and this blog and the people who visit it have been a more powerful catalyst than I could have EVER imagined. I am eternally grateful and hope I am afforded the opportunity to repay in some way.

My post will be short and to the point this week, I missed last week and couldn't bare to miss two in a row. Not too long ago I got to fix up a little spot in my house for my artistic endeavors. I found myself missing something, that light bulb over my head that illuminates all projects. Literally, I needed a task light. I have a stash at my house of all the goodies I collect at the thrift store that haven't found their purpose yet, I went to said stash and found the perfect thang.

Its the wire bottom of a hanging plant holder and I think I paid 50 cents for it. The hole was the perfect size to slip this old pendant light fixture through and voila. My task light. I may jazz up the shade, you know spray paint or wrap it with twine. Until that inspiration hits me I'll keep it just like it is
