Summer Cookouts & Furniture Plans

Straws&LemonWe are enjoying the beginning of summer with cookouts and cocktails. We attempted to make gin martini’s.

Last weekend we made a trip to IKEA and purchase some furniture to fill out our house. Here is a sneak peak of what we got and where some of it is going. I’ll be posting the finished pieces later.

Custom Subway Art

Custom Subway art is a beautiful way to record information about life changing events. Here were a couple I created for a couple of family members. I love working with the colors and fonts, some of my favorite parts of design.

If your interested in commissioning a custom piece please email me at michaela.d.horton@gmail.com for more information.

Project Life : Week 19

Project Life Week 19

It is week 19! I love this project.

It has been so wonderful to look back over the first 19 weeks of the year and see all wonderful things we have done. I know I will treasure this for a long time. Little things that I think would have been forgotten are recorded for the rest of our lives.

Project Life Week 19

This was the second part of our Chicago trip. We went to the Science and Industry museum, walked about the downtown area, made my first trip to Joe’s Crab shack and enjoyed more spring blooms.

I also made a quick trip to my parents and enjoyed my first Dairy Queen Cone of the season.

Guest Bedroom Update

guestroom3

Last week we had an overnight guest. So we took the opportunity to get the last few things we needed for the guest bedroom. Nothing matches yet and it isn’t really decorated either, but we have pillows. That’s what is important right?

Guestroom1

I put together a little welcome basket which included a few different things our guest might need. We put in water bottles, snacks, towel, washcloths, and little shampoos and conditioners. I plan on doing more with it and will update you when I have finished that but for now I wanted to share how excited I am to have it in there.

We can’t wait to have guests!

In honor of recent trip to the shed aquarium I made a pattern inspired by the coral and underwater life of the aquarium.
