Hiatus.

Mini-hiatus caused by a busybusy weekend!

My good friends, Brian and Erin, got married on Saturday.  With a miscommunication between them and their "photographer", I ended up playing their serious photographer for a good while.

Events like this where the majority of people i know in life are all in one place, at one time.. truely makes me happy.

And going through these photos makes me realize how dapper they all are!

And for some silliness

What I love about Chicago.

Lovely Colorful Fences

Exposed Wooden Porches on Aparment Buildings

Am saddened I'm past this point in my life and never lived in a building like this.

Pretty...Pretty...Pretty Iron Gates.

This exact ones makes me swoon.

Sadly...that's the only three photos i took on my Renegade Weekend.

Renegade Loot....

This was my second year participating and attending Renegade Craft Fair Chicago.

Every time I go, I always have a few things in mind to be on the lookout for.

This year it was only pendant necklace. An everyday necklace kind of thing....

A ended up finding the perfect one.  A simple long monocle copper necklace. It goes with everything.

It even works!!

I also bought a Midwest necklace from Courtney Fischer

And a Vintage brass belt bracelet.

Renegade. Renegade. Renegade.

Today I am sitting in my stuffy cubical with nothing but Renegade on my mind and how I wish I could be at home crafting my little heart away.

I am so excited to be going this year with my bestie.  As you can see by her previous post we are very nervous about the weather.... Eeeeks!  Mother Nature better be nice!

Distractions....

Distracting my mind from freaking out about Renegade Chicago and the possibility of RAIN this weekend! *crosses fingers...knocks on wood.... does a little anti-rain dance...*

I'm going to try and not think about it.

On another note.  here are some amaaazing industrial home accessories.

I plan to FILL my house with them.

Kitchen Inspiration

Soon enough it'll be time to redo and stylize my ENTIRE 15"x15" blank canvas kitchen.

I'm a sucker for depression era design mixed with classic vintage farmhouse elements.

Here a few inspiration photos and what i'm taking from them.

1. Industrial barstools

 2. Copper pots and pans hanging

3. Vintage industrial fan

1. Perfectly distressed kitchen chairs

2. Wooden plate rack

1. Wood counter tops

2. Farmhouse sink

1. Checkered flooring... and not your classic black and white.

1. Exposed shelves

2. Open and moveable kitchen island

1. Vintage appliances

2. Unconventional counter space.

Right now I'm working on stocking up on vintage cabinetry.

I have a few sets of hoosier cabinets and a 1920's built in cabinets.

They are all in their natural oak state, however i'm beyyyyooond tempted to paint them! I'm thinking off-white milk paint.   Milk paint is a way to get a destressed look without having to wait 100 years for it to naturally happen.
