Fall colors at our old place

Walking past our old apartment at 1940 Commonwealth Ave, I reminisce and revel in the beauty of nature and old memories.

What is my room missing? Assignment 7/8

A headboard! And I want to design one for our bedroom.

DIY headboard

On Pinterest I discovered this tutorial to DIY a rustic, wooden headboard by Echoes of Laughter. I can customize and design to fit our king size bed (humble brag). We already have a frame, just nothing decent looking to add interest and style to the bed.

Last weekend I combined Assignment 4 and Assignment 7.

I created an outbox in the foyer/hall going into our bedroom, and cleaned the entire room. I noticed I really need storage for books (or a new home for them) and jewelry storage, as it all sits in boxes right now.

Floor Plan, Assignment 5:

Would love to add a vanity for jewelry, etc. storage. The long wall across from the bed I want to add some shelfs for art, place to hang things. Need somewhere to put all the books, if not in the bedroom, someplace else? The bottom left I am dumfounded as to what should go there, very awkward, but need access to under stair storage. I think keeping things simple is my best chance for success, so I don't plan to go overboard with rugs, art, projects.

Color Confidence, Assignment 6
Having read the article, I'm going to stick to warm colors. I learned black is a warm color, need some black, neutrals, maybe some gold and vibrant artwork for pop of color. Maybe some fun pillows also.

Assignment #2: Go on a style scouting

I love this assignment, gathering some data (pics) of my style. I began a new board to pin some ideas of what I am going for, Style Cure 2014.

Inspiration Photo 1

And I have decided to cure my bedroom, so this photo inspires my design: We have the wooden beams, and I love the dark walls, with wooden/rustic details.

Inspiration Photo 2

I love the hanging caged lamps with exposed bulbs, want to DIY one for cheap if possible?

Inspiration Photo 3

Finally, this photo has the glamour/gold details I love and want to incorporate somehow. Love the luxurious bedding, slightly messy (let's be for real, I never make my bed).

Baby pictures

E. coli NEB-5a strain transformed with my newly-ligated 36-LIB-GFP library.

I'm developing what's called a mutant library, based on one of the RNA sequences that survived my SELEX experiment. Preliminary reporter experiments with this RNA, 36 (yet to be given a name), may regulate gene expression in response to ribosomal protein S15 (from G. kaustophilus species). I mutated the RNA sequence and now need to screen my mutants to find which sequences actually DO regulate gene expression using a GFP reporter.
