Master Bedroom Changes...

Here is the cabinet I painted over the weekend...still loving the halcyon green!  And yes those are fake flowers...I have a sickness I tell you...  :)


 My cherished pictures {thanks molly!}
 The girls love jumping on the bed!  If only I wasn't so OCD about it!  :)
 We got new lampshades...I won't even show you the ones we had before {let's just say they had beads and I've already said too much!}
Plus we finally found bedding that we both liked!  Amazing I know... we still need to find white pillow shams to complete the look... and maybe an actual bed {head & foot board} that will have to come later...much later...hubby informed me last night that he wants to buy a friends vw bug that he is selling {I actually cried when he told me...didn't help my cause} this thing sounds horrific!  But...hubby deserves/needs a project so I will be the supportive wife!  I love you my amazing hubby!

Yes...more pillows

Wasn't yesterday beautiful!?!  I love it when I can leave my front door open and let the sunlight stream through!  It got me motivated...I made a few pillows out of this beautiful blue fabric...take a look.

The girls got to go to their first high school basketball game last night {our neighbor friend is one of the coaches}.  They had a blast!  Both little ones loved the band and got up and danced every time they played.  Of course I forgot my camera...darn!  It's amazing how old one can feel when they step inside a high school!  I'm just doing a little math in my head {don't laugh} and oh my god...I've been out of school for 14 years!!!  Where does the time go, I don't feel that old!  Anyways... James and I had a great time too and we will definitely go again!  Have a great Wednesday!  Modern Family is new tonight :) yay!

Have a great day!

Fabric Love...

Late yesterday afternoon there was a knock at the door {probably my neighbor} but nope it was the UPS guy delivering my fabric and Scentsy goodies {I sell Scensty by the way}.  I love getting stuff in the mail!   I rushed to open the fabric box first.  I've never ordered fabric online before and I was a little curious to see it in person...all the prints are beautiful!!!!  I can't wait to start making more pillows, dish mats, and banners.  The dish mats are a new thing that I'm making {found out about them from Darby @ fly through our window} .  I have made two of them and love 'em!  I have a dishwasher but find that I have to hand wash a lot of things so it's nice to be able to set them on a dish mat instead of having to instantly hand dry them...plus the mats are so cute to look at.   I use two coordinating prints that I cut into strips then sew them together and add a white terry cloth towel for the bottom. They are very handy to have in the kitchen.

The second box was Scentsy goodies...I went out of my comfort zone and ordered fruity scents and I love them!  Normally we are all about the baked goods, cinnamon, home~y scents but it was sunny outside when I placed the orders so I figured why not try something different!  So happy I did!    Thank you to everyone who ordered!

Another surprise...my mom made a new slipcover for my ironing board...take a look.   I'm so pleased with it, she did a great job! I had purchased a Shabby Chic duvet cover years ago from a posh boutique on 23rd and used it for a long time til it started to rip {insert sad face} so I started to make pillows out of it.  I had a bunch left over and decided to use it for the ironing board.  Love it! Thanks mom!

Have a great weekend!

Pillow Pics...

Like I mentioned in the last post, I have been making pillows.  Here are some pics from around the house {I'm not great with a camera and have no clue how to photo shop...don't judge :)}

 Green pillow made by me {white is Shabby Chic}
 Love this chair strongly dislike the color :)
