martha’s vineyard travel guide
it takes a long LONG time to get there, but once you’re on martha’s vineyard, you don’t want to leave. at least i don’t. the island has so much age and personality and just a general sense of amazing energy. hitchhiking is legal, no one locks their doors, no one dresses up, and everyone greets each other everywhere you go. not to mention you can eat seafood for every meal and hopefully see some of the best sunsets ever.
i’ve been going since i was a kid and i’ve never been on the island without fantasizing about what i would spend my days doing as a full time islander.
during my trip there, i compiled a guide to my favorite spots. (btw if you’re planning a trip, i recommend trying to avoid the peak summer weeks when it’s overrun with tourists and crowded everywhere. we always go in may or september)

my trip to martha’s vineyard
we’re sadly home from our vacation – feeling relaxed and reminiscent now.
it was a perfect trip (besides a lot of rain) full of R&R, sightseeing and seafood.
we look like we’re having the time of our lives in front of the east chop lighthouse.
and here i am having the time of my life on carousel. what else do you do on a carousel besides have the time of your life?
here are some snippets from our week. we met a lot of animals, saw a lot of water, ate too much, collected way too many rocks and seashells, and chilled quite a bit.
+ COME BACK TOMORROW for my travel guide to martha’s vineyard!

diy headboard roundup
yesterday i posted a small roundup of beds. but truth is, i’d never buy any of them besides the ikea ones and i don’t know how to transport one from craigslist.
so now i’ve gathered up some favorite headboard and bedframe DIYs. i LOVE the rendition of the ace hotel headboard by the brick house because we watch all our tv and movies in bed so it’d be so comfy for that, but i’d have to do a no-sew version…

four no-sew upholstered headboard by the kid collective

beds
our bed is on the floor.
see? we got rid of our old bedframe because i didn’t want the cats to hide from us underneath. and while it’s fine having the bed right on the floor, i have been thinking a headboard or bedframe might make the room a little more finished looking.
the usual dilemma, i don’t want to spend any money on it. and beds are expensive! here are a few modern ones low to high. ( ikea is really the only place with cheap beds i could find )
+ SHOP THE BEDS
one / two / three / four / five / six
the cats were posing. i had to take a photo.
+ our really damaged blanket is from joinery and unfortunately out of stock. i wanted a new one in a new color since the cats have ruined it. very sad.
