Wall Hangings

So as I'm sure none of you know Lilly and I are about to move out of our apartment at the end of the month. Which means this blog will go on hiatus for a while. But as a final post for the time being I thought I'd document a few of the things on our wall that were super cheaply obtained that I really enjoy. The first is this fish, which is actually a plastic plate/serving platter. It's just so funny, and we got it at Savers, though it was probably just as cheap brand new. Below is a painting we got at a random second hand store that we are 99% sure is a paint by numbers. But it's so great. 

Both of these items live by our kitchen sink:

Above you may recognize those little red ornament cutouts (which are plastered in glitter) from my holiday post. I convinced Lilly to let me keep them up all year because I like them oh so much. They were gotten in the dollar bins at Target. Below is a small painting Lilly got at another random second hand place living above the moss terrarium! 

These two items live on a wall in an in between space in our apartment. The painting on the left we got at Savers and the mirror on the right Lilly got at a thrift shop, but it used to be blue and have a few stickers and what not on it. She cleaned it up and gave it a few coats of paint and now it's the delightful mirror we know today. Well, that's all for now, see you in some future unknown Tuesday!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

So for the record I am all about holidays and celebrating and having a few silly decorations for each occasion and whatnot. Lilly on the other hand, is typically not (sad, I know). But proving to be the absolute best girlfriend ever, when I returned to the apartment from New Hampshire, she had put up a few decorations and had a bag full of fun little decorations that I could put up!! :) 

As the story I was told goes, the jade tree started to get decorated...until Lilly found a spider in it :/ Apparently that was enough to discourage her from that venture. 

Above on the left is what will one day be the home of Lilly's moss terrarium, but for now is waiting until spring so that she can actually go out to forage for some moss. Since it was empty, I felt it could use a little holiday cheer and filled it with some sparkly red garland and a few little green bells. On the right above is our little mini tree! :) This item I've had since my freshman year of college. Lilly added her touches to it, putting it atop her cake platter and topping the tree with a lobster (have I mentioned we have a bizarre amount of lobster themed items?)

This might be one of my favorite touches of all! It's probably just because I've been wanting to put something up on the wall behind TV, but have yet to get around to finding something for there. Now it's home to 10 cheap foam shaped ornaments that are caked in glitter. Seriously. So. Much. Glitter. But it's all good, I didn't make too much of a mess putting them up :)
