My First Blog Post

Hello there!

Well, I have tried to start a blog for a while now and just didn't know where to start. So bare with me as I learn the ways of the blogging world. I'm excited to have a place to share my adventures in decorating and DIY projects. My husband and I recently bought our first home and I have to say decorating it has been the best part! Everything seems to always be a work in progress but I will post as I go and I hope you all enjoy!

I will start by sharing with you what has been my favorite project so far, Our Bedroom.

There's so much I love about the bedroom I don't know where to start. How about the end couch? I had been planning on making a tufted bench to match my head board but came across this amazing find at Ross! My Mom and I were just passing through one day and saw the couch with no price tag to be found and looked like a few kids had used it as a jungle gym while their parents were shopping. So I asked a sales associate for some help and she ripped a tag of a dinning room chair next to the couch and said here 100.00...20% for being a bit dirty and here it is cleaned up for $80! By far my best decorating find!

My house is filled with DIY projects but this has to be the best one I have done thus far! With the help of my Dad and a free Saturday we busted out this tufted headboard.  We followed a step by step guide given by addicted2decorating.

This little "&" pillow is a super easy DIY project. I used two cricut cutouts for this project(you could use any shapes you would like). I simply took the shapes and outlined them onto two different patterned fabrics and cut them out. Then used fabric friendly spray glue to adhere both shaped to a white pillow. And there you have it super easy!

This is a view from the bathroom through the hall into into our bedroom. The chandelier is a great find from one of my favorite stores IKEA. The full length mirror is a DIY project that again my Dad helped me with (alot of my bigger DIY projects include my Dad). It's a full length mirror from Home Depot framed with 2x4's and painted white. I would love to have step by step pictures but for this one I wasn't quite thinking about my future blogging.
