Interior Tuesdays: Found Objects

@Designsponge.com

I really like the idea of using found objects to build an interesting piece of furniture. I haven't really been able to do any sort of decorating since Aaron and I have moved in to the apartment, and we probably wont get around to it while we're living here, but I've been gathering images of decorating ideas that I like. We've already decided that we'd like to buy a lot of taxidermy, especially butterflies and insects in shadow boxes. I'd like to have a wall full of them! Maybe even a bat or two. We are living in Austin after all. I'll post some of the pieces that I would like to buy. I'll probably start collecting little things here and there before we move into our next place (a place closer to the city, close enough that I can ride my bike and not have to pay for parking just to go to work. ugh!). I def. want to decorate the next place.

And that's where this wall comes in. I love it! It reminds me of the wall in Home Slice. Aaron and I haven't been there in awhile, but whenever I'm there, I always admire the way they have it decorated. Anyway, this wall wouldn't be too hard to do, even in a rental. We would just need to frame it out on the wall (so we're not putting a ton of holes everywhere), find some found wood via craigslist and the curb, and we could put this thing together and have a regular white wall turn into a piece of art and interest!

Last week, I started my second job, back at Urban Outfitter's for the forth time! I'm hoping to move up to team lead ASAP and making that place a permanent thing for awhile. In the mean time, I'll still be working at the restaurant and hopefully I can get my own personal creative project off the ground within the next year, once I finally get on my feet (for once since the move). It's been pretty rough, but every month I make it by, I'm really proud and appreciative of everything. I can honestly say that, despite all of the financial hardship I've endured, I'm 110% happy with the decision I made to move out here and I appreciate everyday. =)
