friday night fixing

Sometimes there is not better way to spend a Friday night than;

With a good glass of wine,
Your pup,
And fixing up the house!
Dental Student and I have been very careful with the items we choose to decorate our apartment.  Because we're on a VERY tight budget and a VERY small space, we choose each item with care. 

Last year, Dental Student went on a 10-day trip to Israel called Birthright (any Jewish American citizen aged 18-26 may go to Israel for 10 days for FREE, yes, really).  While there, he met a person in his tour group who is a photographer!  When they came back from Israel we picked out four prints that he took while in Israel and saved them, with his permission.  Then, we bought a deal off of Tipper.com for Canvas People.  There, they took our prints and made them into four 18X24 canvas prints.  They took two weeks to get to our home (we were able to track them the whole time) and when they got here we squealed!  A place we love, photos by a friend, and a great price!  They look GREAT over our dining room table...  



What do you think, Havi?
Any new projects in your home?!

  1. Oh I wish I had known about birthright when I was between 18-26! I've had a lot of friends go on it. My cousins just moved to Haifa so I am hoping to visit them next year. Your apt looks fantastic! Don't leave us for that long again!

  3. Beautiful canvas prints!! I like the arrangement a lot, too. Where did you put your painting of Havi? I got one done of our Angel Princess, Allie, but I still have to get it framed...

  4. I wish I was a Jewish American citizen aged 18-26 - I'd LOVE a free trip to Israel!

  6. So gorgeous! I went on my trip when I was in college, but back then I was never able to capture such beautiful photos, or be lucky enough to have anyone in my group that could do that. And I love how you did that with the canvas. When we were in Paris we went to the Jewish section where there was a falafel shop saying they were the best in the world. And I will admit, they did rival some of the falafel I had in Israel.
