hey guys, how's your (almost) summer going? it's going pretty good here.

we've been dip dyeing clothes like crazy.
since we sold out, last time at the flea market, we wanna be sure & have enough for everyone july 1st ;)

nate found a few little shirts for my niece & nephew to dip dye. being able to see these guys on a regular basis has been awesome. they're so funny & smart... & very picky eaters!  (they hate indian food and avocados! can you believe that?! two of my favorite things. my guess would be that most kids aren't into indian food... well wait, they like the "indian pizza bread" (naan)... i'll just have to babysit them one day, wait til they're starving & serve only naan & chana masala. jk jk. i respect their food picky-ness!)


we painted our office "white" but after we were done, it looked more gray-white than just whitewhite. luckily everyone is super nice in fresno, & allowed us to return 5 gallons of tinted paint & get real white paint. #firstworldproblems.
finally finished. why does white make everything look so much better? 
we decided to paint one wall sea foam.... nothing to write home about, but we love how subtle it is.

this is the before. 
so ugly, to me. 
i just really don't like walls painted red! i like red pants, and lipstick, toasters... but not walls.
next weekend we start on the main living room... many many hours of painting ahead of us. yay.

here are a few of the new dip dyes.
k. bye guys.

ps.
i'm thinking of starting a "sleeping photos of my cats" series.... they're just so ridiculous.

  2. I was nodding 'yes' all the way through the post. indian food, white walls, YES. Nate's back (of the t-shirt) looks like the sky with white clouds.

  3. i love the built in shelves.. so nice! your colors look way better than red! good job! painting is a B*+ch... but so rewarding when it changes a room so much.

  9. Welcome back to the West coast! And nice job on the room. It looks so much larger in white and the sea foam green accent adds a nice subtle splash of color. You've got yourself a cosy pad.
