I. Love. This.

Don't you love these shoes?  What if I told you that those lovely bows on there were DIY..?  It makes me want to do it now so bad.  Love these so easy step-by-steps on Green Wedding Shoes.

Baby Shower Garland

The sex of the baby is unknown until they are born, but I do know for sure that Baby Wargin is going to be beautiful!  Here's the garland I've been working  on for the shower:

Inspiration for some DIY..

[hopevenessa]

I've been spending these past snowy days snuggling with my boys, watching movies, drinking wine, and doing some sewing for my BMW's baby shower.  I think I may have made a few too many rosettes.. and I think they would so cute as a headband.  Hope Venessa's Etsy shop has given me some inspiration for how I can utilize these cute pieces.

Ya'll should really go peep her store, because not only are her items gorgeous, but she's giving 50% of her profits to Invisible Children and Missionaries of Charity.

Wall Decor I Love

Now that I'm moving in about 6 months (!) I'm starting to think of what I want in a new home. Ideally, I want to pick a place I'm going to live in for the whole 4 years -- which would be the longest place I've ever lived in since I was 15. I'm really looking forward to painting the walls -- something I never did before b/c I didn't want to have to repaint it 11 months later -- and really moving in and making it home.

I wish I could have done that with apartments past, but once I know it's very temporary, I stop decorating and focus on the move. My current apartment is all unpacked, but barely decorated -- I've just lost motivation on getting it together since I'm out the door in a few months.

So, in the effort to living like an adult, and making the big move, I found some cute (and most is diy!) wall decor I would love to utilize in my new place. I love all the possibilities of having a new place!

Day Off!

Tomorrow is my day off.. a Friday, I know.. but I'm not a slacker, I promise. I have to go into the lab all weekend.. so there's a trade off. It will be my first full day off since I moved into my new duplex, and that means, an overhaul on unpacking and organizing. First things to tackle: my kitchen. Then my bedroom. Here's some ideas I love:

I live in an older home turned into a duplex, and my general style has some vintage undertones. I love these cute kitchen ideas:

My kitchen storage space is very limited, so these makeovers are right up my alley. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!
