terrain.

on wednesday the ladies in my extended family did something long awaited. but a first.

we packed up...with just 3 littles...in my yukon...and headed towards the main line.

(me, my mom, megan, piper, naomi, destiny, heather and eden...now that i think about it, i
guess i was the ~only~ one without child. no wonder i enjoyed myself so abundantly. :) )

our main objective was to visit:

a) terrain, and

b) anthropologie. :)

anything else was just a bonus.

it was so much fun.

my favorite store by far was terrain.

i came away very inspired.

i love that feeling.
who doesn't, i guess?

(please pause my playlist at the bottom of my blog...to watch this inspiringly. :)  )



such awesome-ness in ONE place. i ~LOVED~ it.

this is a burlap rug i had my sister- in -law heather photograph.

for me to copy of course. :)

you cannot look closely if you are a perfectionest.
i.am.not.

i like it.
i like it a whole lot.

it will not last forever.
but the paint made the burlap feel pretty heavy.

and 3 hours later...
while my kids were napping, or being punished
for not living in harmony with one another... :)

it was done.
this was free hand because i don't have time for taping.
i don't tape when i paint inside, i don't tape when i paint anything actually.
it takes too long. :)
call me impatient??

so many other fun things to try...
can't wait. :)
