So It has been a CRAZY week. It was Gant's 21st birthday on Wednesday (Yay!) and I got switched over to a whole new terribly stressful schedule at work. But anyway! Since I've been busy I hadn't made it over to the house in over a week until today. I have however made it around the blogosphere and I have seen some CUTE stuff I'd like to do in my room.

#1. DIY Pallet Furniture-

  

I LOVE the idea of making a piece of furniture out of something unexpected and for cheap! I've seen desks, beds, light fixtures, bike racks, nearly anything made of pallets. I didn't really plan on making anything in particular but I was on my way to my parents house and found a nice clean pallet laying on the curb that was the perfect size for a coffee table. I bought an old window at a yard sale, a couple of table legs and VOILA! It's going to be beautiful! (I'll post pictures after I stain and finish it.)

2. Combo Rooms-

 

I think this one is GORGEOUS. Maybe it's the crisp white with the lime green or maybe it really is just a beautiful layout but I think it's so so pretty. I know our living room in the new crib is humongous, but I really want to include a little seating area and multi-function desk so I can keep to myself if I want to. I haven't quite worked it out but it's going to happen.


 Olympic C11-3 Weeping Willow
Gant and I painted the walls of my room today to a nice warm green called weeping willow. I love it. SO much better than that nasty nasty pink.

I also bought some Tri Sodium Phosphate today so I can finish getting the wallpaper in the bathroom off so a color selection for in there will be made soon as well.

Next post coming soon!
