Clothing Swap

"A clothing swap is a type of swapmeet wherein participants exchange their valued but no longer used clothing for clothing they will use. Clothing swaps are considered not only a good way to declutter and refill one's wardrobe, but also are considered an act of environmentalism. " -Wikipedia

I was invited to my first ever clothing swap this weekend. I had read about them and thought it sounded like a fantastic idea but never attended one. I was able to get rid of a few clothes, I wasn't wearing anymore, and pick up 3 fabulous new pieces. Not only did I get new clothes but there were also delicious snacks and it was held in a an amazing photography studio!




With our treasures :)

Home Projects

The past few months I have been working on some projects around the house...here are the before and afters for you to enjoy.


Our dining room before.


Dining room after with the chandelier Ben gave me for Christmas.


Canvases before.


We needed something to fill the height of our loft...here are the canvases after.



Our kitchen with polka dots before.


After, we were tired of the dots so decided to change it up to a solid back splash.


The 50 cent lamp I bought at the thrift store, before.


After, on our dresser.
