Favorite Spaces: Installment I

I hung these shelves in my room, over my desk, and I was suprised to realize I was done with my room decoration plans.































I love this shelf. I love the black and white pictures.
I love remembering the holiday visit that the pictures are from.
And I love this set of Chinese brushes that my friend Lindsay sent me after her trip to China.















Remember these pictures, anyone?















































I also really like this shelf. There is a drawing by Bryan from an original picture of us as kids.
I used to follow him everywhere! Even places (like big rocks) that I couldn't get back down from. This picture reminds me of that.
Also on this shelf is a beautiful necklace that I got from Wood. It has a painted turtle and pieces of turquoise that hang from it. It is a little big and heavy to wear, but it is such an amazing piece, I like to have it on display. (I'll try to post a better picture of it later.)















My friend Matthew (who I know through Lisa) drew this. It makes me feel peaceful and centered, and it inspires me to draw.
