Space Beautification: Wall Collection

Pinterest toothpaste technique

Voilà!

I love home projects and have always admired those framed, photo displays on the wall. Luckily, my family was in town and the siblings helped me created this concept using some of my most favorite photos (Gaga poster, hand drawn comic from my BFF, city maps, etc.). We had a blast putting together this puzzle combination, and Dad hung them for me! Good thing Dad of JaneSquared was in town to help!

We also learned a nifty lifehack/trick from Pinterest -- when hanging a frame with an odd or tricky hinge, you can use toothpaste! Place a dot of toothpaste on the hooks on the back of a frame. Then, you place it against the wall and you know exactly where to put the nails! Win win.

What projects are you working on this Fall?

Camping!

A few weekends ago, G & I went camping with friends. I have not been in years, and it was a great time. We rode bikes, boats and had s'mores. I mean.. anything with s'mores is a perfect combination. I also have to hand it to "G" -- he can make some pretty mean meals on the back on his '66 pickup truck. We ate very well with an electric hookup and a trusty skillet. Who knew you could have a delicious rueben in under 15 minutes?

Maybe the weather will hold out and we can go camping one more time... What do you think "G"?

Thanks for reading.

Banana Republic Sleeveless Safari Dress

The weather has cooled down quite a bit here in KC, so my fave denim jacket is definitely on rotation.  I basically slip this on over any summery dress for a more weather appropriate look.
