I decided to go for a blue and green color scheme on the tree this year, which really didn’t go that well considering the tree was green and the lights were blue. I think I need a white tree to make this work, but I’m cheap, so we will see. I did play around a lot with the settings on my camera to try and photograph the tree with more light. I now need a new lens to try and get a Bookeh effect. Maybe next year. The day after Christmas, I headed to IKEA to pick up two pieces of furniture I’ve had my eye on for months, a shoe cabinet, and a sofa table. I added some baskets underneath, which are currently empty and are serving as Franklin’s new favorite place to lay.
New Years and my birthday were pretty fantastic and I’m looking forward to this coming year. I had several resolutions, involving losing weight, eating better, more DIY, spending less money, and worrying less, but I think the most important one is this:
That’s all I really want. Oh, and I am vowing to take a picture every single day of 2012, and at the end of the year, turn them into a coffee table book.
