braved the crowds and went to the fireworks festival again this year. we went 2 years ago but went a little late and ended up standing in a random street to watch. this time, we staked out a spot on the grass by the river, but it was cold!

pinterest project
ever since I moved in august, I've slowly been trying to make my house a real home. in my previous two places, I settled a lot on design because "this is korea."
this time (since I finally live in a place bigger than a shoebox and more than 1 room), I decided really invest in things that make me happy. I had visions of beautiful frames and artwork on the walls, but alas, my walls are mostly made of concrete.
so, i started browsing pinterest for lightweight diy wall art and found this gem. it was so easy! I couldn't find a square canvas so I picked up a smaller rectangle one at alpha for 3,000. I also couldn't find gold push pins at daiso or the like, but I ended up finding them at a homeplus. (ended up using about 7 packs) I just sketched the ampersand on the blank canvas and started pushing! the wood around the edges was kinda thick so I did have to use a hammer for those parts.
overall, I think it looks great and can't wait to put it up somewhere. although, with all the pins it got kinda heavy..so hopefully a sticky hook will hold it!
