chalkboard project

Andrew and I made this chalkboard and it was so easy.  The hardest part was finding a window, which out of blind luck Andrew and I stumbled upon.

Step 1:  find a window


Step 2:  tape edges


Step 3:  buy chalkboard paint (this is a type of paint that you can buy at any hardware store.)


Step 4:  coat window with 3-4 layers of paint (you must wait 4 hours between coats.)


Step 5:  allow paint to dry 5 days before you begin to write on it.







*if anyone would like to try this project let me know.  I have an extra set of supplies.

vanity before and after!

So my newest project is this vanity.   I just finished it.  My mom found the vanity at a consignment shop, for $20.  I painted it, lined the drawers, lined the top, replaced the knob, and added the mirror.  I love it; so girly.

blast from the past

Here are some portraits I did in college.

photographs for my vanity

I took these back in college, but I've always loved them.  They are perfect for my vanity.  Nice and girly.

my first tiny hat commission!

Yesterday the University of Chicago had a graduate student social, and not only were enthusiastic graduate students there, but tiny hats as well!  The entertainment at the event was the tiny cover band.  They play tiny instruments.  The theme was tiny.  It was a hit.
