master bedroom.....were getting there!

there are many things i love about my husband

here are just a few:
1. he doesn't mind sleeping in pink, mint green, or ruffled sheets.
2. he could care less how i decorate our home.
3. he is really great at doing the handy work.

back in january i set out to FINALLY decorate our master bedroom
this was seriously from scratch.
we had nothing but old everything!
i wanted it to be feminine.

so, here it is june and i'm still finishing it up!

i still need a rug,
some drapes,

and something for my wall.

i'm really loving it thus far!

AFTER:



i love the chevron pillows, and my bolster pillow i scored for $7.99!!

my side table's are from pier 1, and lamps from home goods.

i kept my old bedspread, and bed skirt.
i added some new euro shames.

i bought the sunburst mirror at a store that was going out of business.

that's my mom,..i love this picture of her.

what, what...

lauren conrad has her own blog!?!?!
i'll be honest..i know absolutely ZERO about her.
what show was she on again?!

i ran into her blog while reading my magazine.
i was so curious i had to check it out.

it's kinda fun!

it doesn't have that much on it quit yet.

i'm interested to see what her design part of the blog is like..(it's in the works, apparently)
she did have some great makeup tips!

 she also shares some of her favorite fashions!

check it out!

p.s...did anyone see the bachelorette last night?!?!
i haven't watched that show in like 30 years, and the one time i tune in
i not only get majorly embarrassed by all the awkward crying moment's.
there is some guy named bentley,
who ends up being a complete weirdo!!!
bless what's her names heart!! (i don't know her name)

dresses for miss h

i used to sew a lot.  i used to love it.  it's been a while since i've done it but i thought it was time to sew my granddaughter a few sundresses.  i bought a pattern but i thought it had too many steps so i altered the whole thing.  i think the dresses turned out cute!  i'm now going to make my youngest a dress too!
