a quick peek

I have a LOT of plans for projects and this blog! like keeping up for once! I will do what I can with what I have!

This is a bit rough (i dont have a nice camera…yet) , but I figured I would share what I was up to with you all!

Here are some before shots of my place for reference:

I had a huge obsession with pastels! which im somewhat over. er, i use them differently anyway! i realized i needed to narrow down what colors i loved, as well as how many objects i had! i needed some minimalism and some plants!

I have been wanting to fill up the space above my chest-of-drawers. i had a shelf for my little deer in mind, but i spied this cute little metal shadow box at Hobby Lobby and got to brainstorming. I found this great set of scrapbook paper by Glitz with the perfect bright yellow color i wanted and with cute little geometric lines to boot!

So I gave it a coat of paint and cut the paper down to size and voila! a new home for my deer! still more to come for this small area. as well as others…

I'm still thinking of a new solution for a pendant light…the chandelier HAS TO GO! The couch needs toss pillows, windows needs some light curtains, and I need a big ottoman asap!

Some more art work next to/around Sir Henry. some unique prints and photographs and a piece or two of my own craftiness. im hoping to incorporate some black though to help the tv blend in a little.

The dining room is boring. I hate having the dog cage there, I'd much prefer a bar cart. and lots of art on the wall. and ive got a solution for the ugly rental lighting!

My bedroom has been the most neglected, but I was thrilled when I found my old duvet cover and this cute banner at hobby lobby. I've got plans for a bedside table (i need spring weather so badly!) I'm thinking some shams from U.O. and some homemade pillowcases.

my table of projects! a couple are done, most just need frames! yay! I've got a few inspired by the lovely ladies over at ABM of course and others I've come up with myself! super excited to share more with you all! nesting is a forever thing for me!

Here's my "Lust List" for Urban:

The small version ;) I think these curtains would really help my living room start to get the look and feel I want. The flag is for the kitchen :P

I'll post a recap of some DIY projects I've been working on as soon as they are done!
