    Where I work…

    by Kaylah Stroup July 21, 2014
    The space I call my ‘office’ has changed so much over the years. I worked on a coffee table at my parents for a while before they gave up and made me a little tiny room out of a corner in their home. I moved into my own home a while later where I worked out of the dining room while my dad built me an incredible craft room in the basement. Flooding and low light forced me into the spare bedroom of that home, where I stayed for a while. Finally, I changed rooms again in that home one last time before moving out and getting an adorable apartment of my own. I don’t have a spare bedroom in this apartment so I decided to make the best of my space and set up camp in the back corner of my living room since I didn’t really need the space anyway.

    I’m really liking this space. I’m sure it will continue to evolve as time goes on but for now it’s perfect. This is one of the first times I’m working from an open area as opposed to being in a room where I’m kind of cut off from the rest of the home, I like this a lot.

  • abandoned amusement park

    by Kaylah Stroup July 17, 2014

    Hidden behind some homes in a sleepy little town remains the skeleton of once booming amusement park. The park was open for one hundred years, opening in 1878, and eventually closing in 1978. Since then mother nature has been doing her best to take the park back over. There isn’t much left still standing in …
