 every year our school has a fundraiser auction.  the theme is always based on the history we’re studying.  since we’re currently studying the westward settling of our nation, our theme is the wild west!  we goth this amazing barn for our venue!  i’ll definitely share more pics as we finish setting up.

my dad has had this clock in his dental office as long as i can remember.  since he’s nearing retirement and has moved into a new building, his clock needed to find a new home – mine!  i love the orange-y red color!

 san luis obispo has a great farmer’s market that is year round.  we just happened to be there on a night that the cal poly marching band decided to march down the middle of the street!

it was one of those nights that i was just so happy living where we are – being with my family, eating messy bbq street food in the street, watching street performers, family all around.  just happiness.

we have a crazy busy weekend of prepping for the fundraiser and finishing science projects.  i hope you have a good one!

i was feeling the need for change this weekend and my sight fell on my dining room.  after a failed attempt to add more color to this area over the table, i ended up focusing my attention on our “gallery wall” or photo shelves or whatever you want to call them!

 so many areas in my house i decorated when we first moved in 6 years ago, and have never really changed.  i was/am happy with them so i never really felt a need for change.  this is what my photo shelves have basically looked like for the past 6 years, but with pictures swapped out every few years, and bottles moving around.

i have slowly been adding shots of color to my living room.  i’ve noticed lately (since the living room, dining room, and kitchen are all in one big room) that this side of the room looks like a color tv…

and this side of the room looks like its in black and white!  borrrrring!

gallery wall update

 as much as i liked the shelves the way they were, i decided to completely take down everything and start from scratch.  i took out some of the frames and added in new pictures and shots of color, which it was totally lacking before.

i love this little sign joy gave me, and i think its perfect next to a couple pictures of sean and i ;)

 i spotted this #5 a few weeks ago on etsy and had to snag it!  i set it on top of a pile of pretty yellow books, and added a tiny globe.  also adding in some color are some prints of our most recent family photo shoot.

gallery wall update

 i put one of my favorite globes on the top shelf and i wanted to balance the yellow books below, so i added this little thrifted owl i had tucked away.

 and to balance the red 5 i added a vintage metal tray.

 i’m still playing with it a bit, moving things a touch here and there.  but overall, i love it!  the room feels so different with the shots of color.

and… sean said he may be willing to let me paint our dining chairs fun colors!
