Home Again

Hey everyone, I’ve just finished up my summer internship in Prague and I’m back in the States!

2011 has been a blur of amazing experiences, exciting adventures, and exploration. From the past 7 months, I have so many blog drafts, ideas hastily jotted down, photos unposted. And now that I’m getting back into my old routine, I’m looking forward to fleshing things out.

I’ll be working on my summer travel journal….

(used Prague metro tickets!)

(Harry Potter premiere – the Czech movie theatre has assigned seats)

Along with working with that, I’ll also be sharing my stories from abroad on the blog!

I can’t wait to share some of my favorite places – Sweden, London, Estonia, Italy, Belgium (and more!) – with you guys.

And I’ve been getting some emails asking questions about how I got to do all this traveling as a student and about my internship. Now that everything is wrapped up, I can share all the behind-the-scenes details as to how everything happened!

Things are shaking up a little, and I’m excited. You excited? : )

Furniture Redux

My family went a little DIY this week.  We took an old dresser that had been staking out a dark corner in the basement for the last, oh, half decade and repainted it for what is now its fourth reincarnation.

The before and after pic shows it: we swapped out our mirror for our TV. Now that’s a good deal.

Here’s the highlights:

Step 1: Dig out old dresser.

Step 2: Um, find that missing drawer.

Step 3: Clean drawers.

Step 4: Take a lunch break.

Step 5: Take the dog out for a walk.

Step 6: Paint drawers.

We repainted the white frame, and went with a warm beige color on the drawers to go with that white.

Step 7: Move in drawers and enjoy!
