home.

Rob and I have been in Georgia for a little over a month, time flies. Since we have moved I have gotten the diy bug again and did a few projects because 1. it's cheaper, 2. i got do things just like i want them, and 3. i like doing it. So, here are some photos of where we live these days.

DIY Project #1 : Striped Curtains
Orginally, I wanted to stripe them gray but Micheals and Walmart were both out of gray so black and white it was. But, I think they turned out pretty great! These curtains took FOREVER to do but, totally worth it and I LOVE hanging out in my bedroom now. It feels like a peaceful haven.
I am thinking of making my own fabric headboard??

Living Room
It's a HUGE space, which is nice since we live in a SMALL town and hang out at home all the time.
DIY Project # 2 : Lime Green Bookshelf
Ok, so this was a bookshelf my parents had in the basement. It was just a regular wooden bookcase. I love BRIGHT things and thought that a neon green would really make it pop in the sea of khaki walls and chocolate brown couches. I also found this AMAZING Amy Butler scrapbook paper that I modgepodged in the back. The camera doesn't do it justice but I think it looks great and makes me happy! (And, I made that green and brown artwork piece on top of the shelf when we first got married and what do you know, it matches perfectly!)

DIY # 3: Pomegrante Side Table
I bought this table when I was in college, it was a brown bamboo table from TJ Maxx and I was getting over the table. But, with a little spray paint it is a new table. Now, again this picture makes it look like a funny color but it's a paprika pomegrante color that's pretty bright in real life. The lamp, I need to change or change the shade but I am all about using what I have right now and so that's what I did.


DIY # 4: Silver Ladder
This ladder I picked up at an antique store a while back and it was a dark green. Didn't really match my anything, and who doesn't love metallics. I had some silver spray paint in the closet and thought I'll try it out. LOVE it!
So, that's a glimpse into our house. It feels like home now and that pet smell is gone (I blogged about this previously!, thanks for your suggestions!) Come visit us, we have an extra bedroom and bath just for you friends!
