i say goodbye, i say hello.

earlier this month, the hubby and i found a new place to live. it is a small cottage-esque house in a neighborhood inhabited by little old ladies who plant flowers. we are so blessed because it's not that much more a month than the small apartment we are in now. there is an extra room, a backyard, and a red front door. i'm in a happy place. 

but even though we are so excited, it's still all a little bittersweet. these past 11 months of marriage have been the best of our lives. and all those cherished memories are inevitably wrapped up in #E108--our first place. 

it's been good to us. 

in preparing for the transition, i am on the lookout for ways to make things i have seem new and different. because of course as my Pinterest is filling up with resources, my bank account is not! here's one such project i did last night. 

a simple revamp i like to call:

if you like it than you should put wheels on it!

this is a solid wood crate i salvaged from a dumpster. i loved it so much i couldn't let it get tossed. originally i wanted to make a shelf out of it, but seeing as it is pretty heavy and landlords aren't so thrilled about you ripping up their walls, that didn't happen. it's been off to the side, stuffed with craft supplies, not really getting noticed. but now since our new place has all wood floors i thought adding caster wheels would be a cute and functional way to get this treasure out in the open. 

be on the lookout for more project updates as i work at making our new house a home:)
