Wallpaper!


Sunday our day went a little like this.

 I always get up before Mike and I take my time enjoying coffee and making my breakfast while diving in to our plan for the day.

 Once Mike got up we took our typical 8 mile run, which was really beautiful and I'm starting to get myself back in running shape from the lax I always seem to take in the winter.  Although I didn't take as much of a break this winter as I usually do.

 Errands.  Does anyone like these?  I do not.  We went to an inner suburb that has all the stores we need and Mike always comments on how poorly designed it is.

 Mike focused on his homework and I spent the next three hours hanging a gallery wall.  This is the first gallery wall I've hung that I wanted multiple columns to be even and line up.  It was not the most enjoyable project.  And I'm sure it's not perfect, except in my eyes.  Three hours.

 After dinner I spent about the same amount of time looking a temporary/removable wallpapers.  Whew!  I made a list (without considering cost) of about 20 to choose from!  We have a little section by our stairs that we moved some furniture around and really opened up the space so the plan is wallpaper on one section and another gallery wall on the other.  

 Note: please remember the large gallery wall I had at my place in Lakeview, we still have all the art and I want to use as much as possible.  I'm just trying to get it to make a bit more sense this time around.

 So, now to get to the point.  Here are a few of my favorites.  After looking all night, I really think I'm leaning towards some sort of palm tree design.  Maybe it's because spring is in the air?  Maybe it's because I think it needs to be green?  These are some I jotted down along the way.  (Prices are going to vary here and we will not be investing as much money as some of these cost.)




I have no idea which one we would choose and the space might be a bit awkward for it, but I love these map options.




Have you used wallpaper in your adult life?  We will definitely choose a removable option so we can change it out, but I think it's such a fun way to spruce up a small section of a room!

 UPDATE: We picked!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

(details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change
