Books Read
This is Where I Leave You was really sad, but the disfunctional family thing was still kind of funny. The Night Circus started out magical and beautiful, but it ended up being a disappointment. Still, finishing a book is often like finishing a run-even if it wasn't ideal, I still end up with a fresh, new perspective.
Miles Ran
With the end up the school year and the start of this crazy heat, my mileage dropped a little this month. I ran a total of 29 miles in June, so I'm hoping to bump that up a bit in July.
Rooms Admired
I loved how this home was light and bright, but full of greenery and life. This NYC industrial loft was amazing with so much good stuff you just can't DIY: incredibly high ceilings with skylights, concrete walls, and the perfect open floor plan. I die!
Projects Completed
After a DIY fail, I bounced back with this questionable take on the wire pendant light. The macraméd cord is definitely staying, but the wire pendant may get another try someday. I did find a little time in this busy month to liquid leaf some thrift store needlepoint, which found a home in the dining room.
Internet Goodies Found
+ Can you tell I like plus signs? Cotton and Flax features FREE patterned wallpaper for iPhones, and this months' pattern is the white plus sign on linen!
+ Maybe I get a little too excited about blogs, because I'm weirdly excited about the purchase of this house.
+ Janae shared some great racing tips (because this is obviously a running blog!).
I'm sad to see June go, but I'm going to enjoy July to pieces. I plan to do a lot of running, reading, relaxing, and I've got some DIY projects up my sleeve. Stay tuned!
So tell me...
-I've started Gone Girl and I'm loving it, and next I'm thinking about starting A Prayer for Owen Meany.
What happens to your workout schedule when it gets this hot? Or are you lucky enough to live somewhere with milder summers?
-Even when I get up at 4:30 a.m. it's still already 75 degrees and humid, so I just have to be miserable for a while. :( Still better than running on a treadmill, though.
-Did you see my first wire pendant light?
Gone Girl..........SO GOOD! LOVED IT! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI still love your pendant.
Oh. My. I just finished Gone Girl last night. It was unreal. I could not put it down for anything!
DeleteAnd thanks for the reassurance on the pendant! I do like the way it looks, I just wish it were bigger. I think maybe it's the thick macrame cord that's making it look not quite right. Maybe the little wire pendant would look better on a thinner cord, and the thicker cord needs a bigger pendant. Can't decide!
