    found on the beach

    by Kaylah Stroup October 6, 2014

    Well, I have set a new standard for myself with these found on the beach sets. As someone who organizes just about everything by color – my closet, my DVDs, etc – it’s kind of shocking to me I never thought to do this before. I’m obsessed with how it looks. It was so hard to choose what photos to share because I took so many. I had so much fun sorting everything out by color. (Are you a sorter? I love sorting things, I always have!) Seeing the little piles of colors made me want to do something bigger than just organizing sets on the beach. I’ve got a ton of ideas swirling around in my mind…

    Quick FAQ – things that get asked every Found on the Beach post.
    Do you keep the things you pick up? No way. Once in a while I’ll keep something I really think is neat but I’m no hoarder.
    What do you do with it when you’re done? I toss it in the trash where it belongs.
    Was this really all from the beach in one day? For the
    most part, yes. Sometimes if I find something I really think is neat on a
    day I’m not collecting for a photo I’ll pick it up and hang on to it
    until the next time I want to put together one of these.
    Do you wear gloves? No, I don’t. These are things that were washed up on the shore, not things simply left behind. They’re no dirtier than the sand or water.

    xoxo

    I’ve been living in my cute little apartment for nearly eight months now. The living room was the first room I finished decorating, and shortly after I shared photos on the blog. I had thought it changed a lot since then but upon looking back, I guess not. It’s officially home now, and somehow that …

  • abandoned cement factory

    by Kaylah Stroup October 1, 2014

    Jesi, and I discovered this incredible abandoned cement factory on our last adventure together. We were in an area we didn’t really know very well so while we chowed down on lunch we decided to quickly look around online to see if there was anywhere we could find nearby. We found photos of this place …
