Some Adjustments to Our Apartment

So my dad gave us this file cabinet, which we really do love!! One day a friend showed me what she did with her filing cabinet....she used tinfoil and sprayed a gold color to her small filing cabinet and it looked darling. I looked up other ideas that you could do to your filing cabinet. you could use anything. I used wrapping paper from Target and modge podged it all. I decided to do it when Matt was on his family's fishing trip. Finally figuring out that it was a lot of work, my neighbor Hope came to help me! This is before......
And this is After!! It was really bright when I finished and wanted to cry. I spent like 9 hours on it and it was so bright. I am used to it now and it matches our green colors in our bedroom really well.
I really liked the picture frame, but not the picture in it. BUT I did like the "Home Rules" List in it. Have you ever seen that list? The "If it cries, love it?" etc. So I decided to adjust it a little bit. I think it's not my best work, but am starting to like it. Every time I passed it I just had to change it.

This is after!

Biking The Rail Trail

Matt and I decided to bike the Rail Trail by my family's cabin. I have always wanted to do it again and we finally did it! (you know when you want to do something but never do it). We couldn't do the whole thing because of construction but it was one of my favorite things we have done this summer. We saw old nails and a chain 9from the railroad that use to go through there?). We also saw an old road that used to come from San Fransisco and was one of the main roads in the 1900's. I didn't realize how much I love to bike until this ride!
