Happy October! Sometimes on the first of the month, like the first of the year, I get the urge to look back and see what was going on around here a year ago. Luckily having a blog makes that extremely easy (
click of a button!) - which is how I spent my morning caffeine session today. Here's what I found, a year ago we were still house shopping, and apparently just putting offers on our current place.
Here's the post, but just look at this living room during the sale:
Wow... I remember thinking, how in the world will we arrange furniture in here?! Just for fun, here it is now, use the door to line things up in your brain:
Yea.. little different..
So we were still living in Santa Cruz, I still had my major workshop set up in the back, and furniture was churning out nicely... I had the
Chevron night stands, which quickly found a home:
I wanted to keep those but had NO room.. plus, getting prepped for a move? I shed things like crazy.. I did get to keep this stool from the
Color Block Stool Tutorial:
And some of my favorite how-to's of the time were this
Origami Star Lantern, that I still haven't made, but really
really want to:
And my
flat marble light fixtures.. I can't believe this was only a year ago! I'll have to do another tutorial on these, I've experimented a lot more with the process. For now, here's the
original tutorial.
Or this
great under-bed storage project, that I
completely forgot about! I need to do this one for sure...
And I was grossing you all out with this pretty nasty & somewhat cruel cockroach jewelry, that
actually exists...
I still think that looks like Jonny Depp... haha.. you can watch the video &
read more from a year ago, here.
And of course, my super cheesy pumpkin:
I hope you get the joke!
That's just a glimpse of what was going on last October.. what about you? Do you ever take a look back at a year ago to see how much has changed? I'm always surprised to realize things that
feel like a super long time ago, were only a year ago.. Kind of slows things down a little bit to remember how much has actually been crammed into just one year.
Happy October! I want chili.
Cincinnati Chili...
