Wall Wednesday: Final Additions

Both the final exams and the semester are over, which means I'm heading home for my Christmas/winter break.  Actually, I'm currently sitting with my laptop in the airport, doing my best to be patient with their frustratingly slow Wireless Internet.  I'd still like to share a few of the final touches that I have added to the room over the past couple of weeks.  Other family members are going to stay there over Christmas, and I wanted to make sure it looked at least somewhat finished for them!

I've added to my collection of art postcards around the mirror door, after visting the Legion of Honor Thanksgiving weekend.  These are all pictures of pieces from the current show of a collection from the Louvre in Paris.  The dark one on top is a sort of decorative, mosaic card table, and this red one is of a gigantic tapestry.  For those of you still in the city with some time to kill, I would highly suggest checking out the exhibit; all of the pieces are absolutely stunning!

 

I made another one of this fun knit basket in a different color.  It's such an easy project, and knitting is a great way of combining relaxation and productivity for a little study break.

Lastly, I rearranged my closet decorations and decided to go with a solid wall of quotes.  As you can see, I haven't gotten there quite yet, but I still have all of next semester to read and decorate with more passages.

For now, I'm just excited to be going home to see my puppies!
