PDX Street of Dreams

Every year Portland has the Street of Dreams where they showcase amazing million $ homes that are for sale. Usually it's a newly built neighborhood and you can walk through all of the homes that are beautifully decorated. I could only dream about living in one of them. For the last 3 years my boyfriend and I have made sure to go. This year was especially different because it was condos in the Pearl district in Portland. I like houses better but I still had a lot of fun and the views were amazing. Here are some of my favorite pics from the night.

From frame to art.

I found this amazing frame at Ikea for only $25 but I thought it was odd that it was a frame and not a mirror since it's circular.

As a frame it kinda reminded me of something that would be in the Adam's Family household with a picture of the creepy mom. So I decided to stick some fabric inside instead of a picture. I found this fabric at Joann and in 2 seconds it's transformed and I love it!

Oh and don't mind the hanging streamers from the light... they are from my boyfriend Walter's birthday in July. That reminds me that it's probably about time to take them down.

First post

I bought my first house about 2.5 yrs ago at the age of 23. My brother lives with me along with my two cute cats, Milo and Stitch. Since buying my house I have realized that I love home decorating. I never bothered before because throughout college I didn't have any money and I moved at least once a year. All the furniture I had were hand-me-downs from family.

I've been following younghouselove and it has inspired me to start my own blog. I love being creative and I don't get a chance to at work so this will be my outlet. I am not a great writer and am more of a visual person, so my posts will probably be mostly pics and few words. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.
