My Home

I moved into a new home this last year and have had so many fun ideas to get my house to feel like a home and I have finally gotten my main floor looking somewhat put together. I love how it is turning out.... So here are a few pictures of my many projects. 

My Dining Room

My Kitchen Window..... I made these Roman Shades from a really easy tutorial I found on the BELOVED PINTEREST!!! I also made the Cook sign with some Modge podge. YES I need to do more how I did them posts. I will work on that....

 My Mud room is only used for my Dogs food bowl so it needed a mega make over. I made the Sign and actually got the furniture piece for free and it looks so good in there. I originally wanted to put it in my bathroom but it looked so good in there I am going to keep it in there.

 My living room is well EMPTY. I have no furniture for it really yet so I just put a dresser and chair in there. Both are sentimental value. If ya wanna know about the Chair Click Here .

 The Dresser was my Grandma's and It looked like this before....

And After it was amazing.... I loved the way it turned out.

On top of the Dresser I have a collection that DJ and I have been doing since before we got married even. I have been obsessed with Traveling since I was in my teens. I want to go everywhere especially if there is a beach involved. We DJ has been so great to me and fulfilled my wishes by taking me to wonderful sandy locations every year. He proposed on a beach we went on our honeymoon to a beach we celebrated our anniversary on a beach and my birthday..... anyway the whole point is I love to save the sand so I just went to D.I. and got a bunch of different bottles and put the sand in them with labels so I have a little bit of beach with me at home. I love it. Our collection is getting to large for one area now though. Ganna have to come up with a new spot.

 Our Main "Big Room" as my husband calls it is my favorite room in the house so far. I made some panels for window treatments reupholstered my grandma's Chair. I made a pillow and put some detail on our media console.

 My wonderful mother reupholstered two of my pillows for me with the same Chevron fabric I used on the roman shades and window panels.

 I reorganized my wall collage so that it was all the same color and equally spaced. (as much as I had patients to do I guess).

 My remake of the Restoration Hardware pillows.

My husband gave me a cricket cutter for our anniversary but I wasn't really sure how to use it... Well if you haven't noticed I finally figured it out and have a blast using it on everything since. I added these cute numbers to my media console that really is probably my favorite piece in the whole house. 

 I made this wreath about a year ago but it was starting to fall apart from the crazy windstorms we have by my house so I just added the burlap ribbon tucked in and out of it with a little chalk board attached so I can change up the words for the holidays and it revamped it up so perfectly. I love when I can take an old project and remake it beautiful again.


The only room I have really finished in the upstairs is what we call the boys bathroom. We bath Harley in it and DJ uses it cause it is right by his office room. I don't think I ever have but I walk by it a lot and was really bored of it. The style of it was really modern and the rest of the house is definitely not. So this is the before.....

 I made the shower curtain using the same print as I did on a design job I did cause I loved it so much. Added some blue into it so it would really coordinate with the rest of the house and that was it. So easy but so much better!

 Just so you know normally our "big room" looks like this. DJ and Harley cuddled on the sofa. I don't let Harley on the couch unless there is a blanket below him so they always looks so cozy.


on a final note I had BUNCO night at my house this week and got this great idea off PINTEREST so I decided to try it out.... It's Madeline's Lemonade in Mason Jars. So cute and so YUMMY!

                                                  

Way cute Idea for party's like showers or bbq's.
