Glowing Walls

by april May 23, 2010 diy-projects

I’m a night owl, and I love the night time.  But lately I’ve realized how significant the difference is between sunlight and light bulb lighting.  Natural lighting is so soft and white, whereas light bulbs give off a harsh, yellow light.

I’ve always tried to be a more inconspicuous type of tourist.  I wouldn’t take pictures of every little thing hundreds of times, I would do some research of the places I wanted to see so I wouldn’t have to ask too many questions, and I tried my best to not ask for directions if I got lost.  One thing I always did, though, was buy a lot of useless souvenirs that would junk pile up in a closet somewhere.  Little things such as keychains, postcards, tiny figurines, etc.  And every time I saw the pile of things that have collected [...]

Second Chance Furniture

by april April 17, 2010 diy-projects

When I was younger, there was a sofa set in my family’s living room that my parents had bought second-hand from somewhere.  The owner was going to just throw it away; there were tears in the fabrics and some of the cushion fillings were starting to come out.  In addition, the color was a drab brown that was just really unpleasing to the eye, and it just seemed like a piece of trash furniture that wouldn’t fit into any kind of decor.  But my mother has always been a person with an optimistic eye, and she saw something in that [...]
