*camper bike
mix one part camper + one part bike = solo holiday get-a-way on pedal power
I ran across this sweet camper bike that artist Kevin Cyr built. Using a modified bike frame, he mounted a mini-camper onto his bike.
This project of his is a stand alone sculpture...
...as well as the subject of a series of his painting.
Now that is what I call an R.V.!

*door makeover
I have been working on this big kitchen remodel (post to come soon) and in the process the front entryway got a face lift. I wanted the front door to be a different color, so after some thought and discussion I got out my paintbrush and made some changes...it's just paint, right? Here is a before picture prior to the kitchen project.
Another before picture, all taped up and ready to go...
...and the finished product. Yeah, a black front door, what do you think? I think it makes the door pop out from the wall.
Another shot of the door. I think we may put some lettering on the door or dress it up a little more, but for now...there it is.

*wild things
One of my favorite books growing up is being turned into a movie...Where The Wild Things Are. Take a peek at the trailer.
It will be in theaters October 16th...I can't wait! If you haven't read the book, let me know and you can borrow it, it is on my book shelf.
*rock star chair
Every Friday, Derek and I hit the garage sales over our lunch break. I stumbled upon this little blue chair. I thought it is the perfect size to fit with our small IKEA table. It would also be great for when nephews/nieces/friends stop over and kids need a place to color, the only problem was the color...
...so with a little painters tape and some spray paint, the little blue chair turned into a rock star chair!
...complete with star and racing stripes!
