From top to bottom: A leftover save-the-date from our wedding, A really old photo of a mountain scene, another old photo of a mountain (but this one, I liberated from an old 70s text book, heehee), an awfully stereotypical rendition of a native American girl that I scored during the western-day sale, a clipping of the Puget Sound from an old map of Washington, and a framed lace doily.
It's weird to think that someone made it and was very proud of it at some point (judging by the frame, anyway) but it still ended up in the thrift store. I initially just bought it for the frame, but the darn thing started to grow on me after a while, so I kept it like it was :)
On another note, it's so weird to see how well our different tastes blend together. Like, Franklin has a very distinct style, and so do I, and we've somehow found this weird balance in between, and it works really well. There's like a really weird rustic, bohemian, kitschy, vintage, lazy professor sort of vibe going on in this house. It's strange, but I really dig it, haha.

The wall looks really good! Your two styles do seem to blend together perfectly. I want to see the rest of your house now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! oh, and here's a little peek into the "lazy professor" vibe we have going, haha: http://stoicandpariah.blogspot.com/2012/07/farmhouse-photos-living-room.html
Deleteif only it would stay that clean! haha. ah, sigh.
i really like this little collection of framed bits and pieces - they are all v.different but seem to fit together quite perfectly x
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Deletei really like all of these together! i especially love the mountains and the little girl.
ReplyDeletethanks for telling me about traffic light. i love parks and rec, too! documentaries and dramas are my favorite thing to watch when i'm working too. i really really love high school dramas...haha. i watched all the seasons of friday night lights on netflix in a really embarrassing amount of time. i love it so much.
Thanks! It's a shame I live so close to views like those (the mountains, I mean) but I'm too lazy to go out and view them, haha. and, oh man -- high school dramas are like a recent guilty pleasure of mine too, haha. (Cough cough, Glee! I started watching it almost as a joke, but then it sucked me in! Oh no! haha)
DeleteThere's like a really weird rustic, bohemian, kitschy, vintage, lazy professor sort of vibe going on in this house --> HA! This is the perfect description for our flat, too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the lace doily. I bet it has an interesting story :)
Haha, sweet! Isn't it a strange but wonderful combination? haha ;)
Deleteand, the life of a thrifted doily is a mysterious one, for sure :)
that's such a FANTASTIC wall arrangement!
ReplyDeletep.s. i just found your blog through the wonderful wednesday link party and i'm totes following now. :)

Thanks! and, I too am following you now!
DeleteThe doily is so dainty and pretty. I'm actually working on a doily right now. I'm using big chuncky yarn for a fun oversized effect. I can't wait to see how it turns out...
ReplyDeleteOo, that sounds fun! Have you seen those huge doily rugs that people make out of rope? I wish I had the patience (and skill!) for something like that, haha.
