Another Day at Diet Coke Central
Tuesday, November 13
Snips of paper....hands moving at lighting speed....creating the most yumilicious tags and vintage Christmas decorations.....that's right ladies.....here's "Diet Coke Central" at its finest....
And as we were laughing and oooohhhing and ahhing over each wonderful creation....I paused to admire one of my most favorite of Kijsa's creations....you see wonderful readers....Kijsa painted each of the four corners of her dining room with the same scene......in each of the four seasons....
Now I know at this point you are thinking....seriously....who thinks of things like this....how could you possibly cut and paste and glue in a room like this....but that is the wonderfulness of it....who could help but to create when surrounded by such creativity....
So next time you're in the mood to be creative....stop by....pull up a chair and grab a piece of vintage wallpaper...we'd love to see you!
Grab your dancing shoes, and head over to Natasha Burn's for a few prom festivities! We have been too busy cleaning the cinders, and our fairy godmother never showed up to wave her fabulous dress wand, so we will peek in through the windows to admire all the finery. Come along with us!
Have a very blessed day!
kari and kijsa

Fellow Baylor girl here! I've only recently discovered your blog, and I love it! As a girl who grew up in DEEP South Texas, home of 1 season, I am a lover of 4 seasons! Your dining room is lovely. Seriously. Can I move in?

How beautiful! My favorite scene is the winter one - probably because of Christmas fast approaching!

Is there anything she can't do?? And a prouder sister can't be found, I'm sure. That is amazing!
I thought of you girls last night watching The Big Bang Theory. The one character Sheldon was adamant about having his Diet Coke!

Beyond amazing. Diet Coke should have you in their commercials to show just how powerful that drink is! :>) I would drink it if it fueled that kind of talent!

Ohhhh, ladies, where does your talents end? I am so in awe of both of you. My heros!!
I do love that dining room so much and it looks like such a wonderful spot to create.
Oh, and I'm pretty darn sure that I want that rabbit pillow in that chair.
Blessings and love to both of you,

Gosh, that is so beautiful!!! Was Kijsa's home photographed for a magazine a few years back -- it looks really familiar. I remember wishing I could paint half as well. I think the story also featured a grain painted chest of drawers, and something with artichokes on a red background...Anyway, love it!

beautiful walls, but I'll probably never have the time to do it myself, or I'll get started and never finish. maybe I'll start with a tiny room, like a closet!
