SUMMERtime lists and such.

It's now officially summer and has been for a week now.

And I've been makin lists of things I want to do and see and places I want to go.

I'm gonna make me (at least) one of these. Image found here.

-D.I.Y. Now that it's summer it feels right to be doing/making a lot. there will be lots (hopefully) of d.i.y.s happening this summer. I already have a few in mind.

-Beach days. Bonfires. BBQs. These are some of my most favorite times with friends and I can't wait for more of them.

-San Francisco/Bay area. I'll be headed up north in less than two weeks! To be reunited with friends. I wish I was going tomorrow!

-Etsy. I haven't been very focused on my Etsy shop in the last couple months and when I went to check on it the other day I realized that I had no listings anymore, they've all expired. Goal: get better pictures of my product and revamp my shop.

-Books. I've been reading like a maniac these last few days and I am determined to keep it up over these next few months. As much as I hate to admit this, I almost forgot how much I love to read.

-Room. I almost forgot, I'm dying to re-do my bedroom. Even if all that means is to just rearrange the furniture. It just needs to be spruced up and I need a little change.

Yes, I do realize this list is not super extensive, but it's a start and I don't want to overwhelm myself with making a list so long that it just intimidates me. So for now, this will do.

What kind of things do you have on your list for summer?

chalk it up.

The other day I mentioned how into chevron I've been lately, well I'm also feeling chalkboard walls too. (Not to mention I came home from the preschool yesterday covered various colors in chalk dust, but it was fun!) I just think they're so fun for an open room in the house, a place where kids can draw or friends can leave you little notes when they come over. I also love the idea of having a chalk headboard or the wall behind your bed (like in 500 days of summer).

I really love this last one.

Do any of you have a chalk wall in your house?

Right now I'm totally digging everything chevron.

I'm dying to paint a wall in my house chevron. Or maybe even a dresser. I just love this look. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime this summer.
