600 posts!

Wow, it's almost been a year since I started my blog and my website. 600 posts later I'm still here! I just wanted to say thanks to all my readers who keep coming back.

Sigh

I found another home for sale online and I've fallen in love again. It's one of those fixer-uppers, but if you fixed it up it would probably become a million-dollar home. It looks like it needs new windows, an updated kitchen and some new paint, but I've always wanted one of those homes that needs "help". Another great thing about this home is its location: it sits in a historic town in MA.

I found out it was built in 1953, but I don't know by who. I have not gone to see it yet, but I plan to very soon. I need to start playing the lottery though - this home is priced at $630,000. Yes, that seems like a lot, but that's the average price for homes in my area. :-(

Rooms I love!

Jon's 60's Retro Bedroom posted on Apartment Therapy. I am so drawn to this room! Every thing just fits so well together.

Luxe Interiors has a beautiful Orla Kiely collection which I'm always inspired by.

Lighting

Etsy shop Aglowinc finds vintage lighting and reworks them. Some are original and untouched (yellow one on the top left) and others have been redesigned with new colors and wiring.

Boston Craigslist Find

I found this awesome pet carrier on Craigslist! I so want to buy it but I'm trying to save for the wedding. Check out that handle!!!

Wedding

More wedding updates
My friend/wedding planner found a cute gallery to do the ceremony and reception. I'm so excited! I'm working with a tiny budget but I hope to make something cool.

The colors of the wedding will be banana yellow and some light blues. I'm currently on a mission to find a vintage yellow wool coat (Boston gets really cold in January).

Contest?

I got a big package from my publishing company recently and it was filled with many large (16" x 23") prints. These are part of a series of 3 prints that I had made for them, and they look great! I might give some of them away in a contest this June, since it's going to be jennski.com's 1 year anniversary... Stay tuned!
