When I first moved in:
(notice the chair in front of the fire, trying to keep warm, as well as the stellar rental furniture.)

WOW! I just have to say how cute and creative you are! Please come do my house! That took some work girl and it looks awesome. BTW- I won't make fun of those paintings at all bc I think they look wonderful there..perfect accents for the songbird print. The colors of the walls are SO nice...I especially love the avacado green. You get the gold medal in Africa interior designs...much better than my hut fo sho. <3
oh, and I like the t-towel idea...super cute as replacement curtains. I just can't get over your creativeness-- and I have the art degree!
SO cute Erica! Wow -- it totally looks like you and I can see your style all over it. :) Great job bringing Erica style to Africa!
Ummm... you're precious!!
How did you make that art? I must know!! You put my decorating skills/efforts to SHAME and you're In Africa with limited resources! Anything you really want and don't have for decorating? I'd love to contribute to your new home!!
so I am way jealous....I dont know how you made it so homey....I can't seem to accomplish that here. I need an extreme home makeover....BUT not time right now! Plus, we have nothing....so I will have to save up some money!
It really is so beautiful and cute! Glad things are going so well for you! We need to chat and catch up!
I ran across your post while searching for lace curtains. What a clever idea to use napkins for curtains. Love your homemade art. Thanks for sharing
I love it all!!
You've done so well with the place. My kitchen's green too! I was imagining you in a hut with clay walls, but this...this is nice. The Lord takes care of you. I'll have to send you some pics of our place soon and one of the family to put on your fridge
i'm super impressed, dear cousin. lookin good! love the green. now i want to paint my bedroom like that.
