Knowing that we are leaving somehow gave me a push to finish up a couple of projects in Rilo's room. We hung letters spelling her name above the closet. The letters were on sale at Urban Outfitters and then we spray painted them white.
Next, I hung a shadowbox I got at Michael's for $4. The original plan was to order a little wooden clock, but it was out of stock for a few weeks and then I never got around to ordering it. The dead space was killing me, so I hung up the shadowbox and put in little vintage salt and pepper shakers. It will do for now!
On Monday I should be ready to tell you about a summer long project I am going to be doing. It's going to be fun for me, and hopefully fun for you to read about! Wish me luck as I fly with Rilo to Chicago today!

Good Luck in Chicago Cody and I were there for five months last summer and one month in Atlanta...we can relate to the moving thing ;)
Things to do in Chicago that are a must:
Museums- any you can make it to
Brookfield Zoo- more expensive but AMAZING
Lincoln Park Zoo- nothing to write home about but its downtown by the waters edge and did I mention FREE!
Summer Concerts in Elmhurst-free (and a charming little/big city feel about ten min from Oakbrook)
The Taste of Chicago-a MUST do! Features all the selections at one massive fair and you use tickets like a carnival
The Magnificent Mile (A given)
Have a great time and email me if you need more suggestions including great restaurants!
O and PS Rilo's room is PERFECT your style is awesome you should interior design for a living!
