Yellow Vespa

One day you will be mine

Chevron Rug DIY

I saw an AWESOME home decor diy over the summer (Source: Little Green Notebook), and I new I had to try my hand at it. I chose the same colour pattern because it just happened to match most of the stuff in my room already. It turned out really nicely! I wish I'd made all the zigs and zags a little pointier and thicker, but I would certainly say this one's a keeper :)
I picked up a cheap white rug from Ikea, which only set me back $20
Photo cred goes to my roomie IG. Thanks for helping!
All taped up and ready to paint
I was a little nervous when I saw it still with the tape on, but...
VOILA! It looked great! I'm really happy with it, and it was super easy and quick.

Hello Seattle

A long long time ago, as in over a month ago, I went on an Alaskan cruise with my parents. While the cruise was awesome, and Alaska was beautiful, I was most impressed with the time I spent in Seattle, before I even boarded the ship. I only spent a few days there, but I've already added it to my 'places I want to live' list. It's young and old at the same time, and it's full of fun and creative people who really add a unique touch to the city.
