A Little Catch Up!

Thanks to my husband who had endless school work, I never get the computer anymore! I started a new job a month ago so that cuts into my project time as well, but here is a little of what I have been up to over the past few weeks...
I ended up adding more to the flower on the pillow and love it soo much more!


For over our headboard, I had an idea. These frames were actually at the dollar store, and somehow they rang up at only $.25 each! Talk about Creative Cents.. . ;) I just had to paint the wood frames white to go with our scheme. 

The tape was a way to know how wide I wanted the arrangement, and how to make it level. (I also had much help from Rachel Steinmetz on this one). :)

Once taped, we did some math to try to hang them evenly. This part takes a little time, but it's worth it to do it right!

When we were in NYC a few months ago, I took photos of random letters I found that were in our last name. Then, turned them to black and white and placed them in the small frames. I think that I will change the 2 on the sides to more abstract photos (cobblestones, etc.) Love it.

I had white curtains, but then just added the teal to the bottom to make it more interesting.

Last of all, I have a cork board on the wall, and wanted to make more interesting thumb tacks. SIMPLE. Just take white flathead thumbtacks, and hot-glue buttons (or whatever you would like) to the top. Easy, but so interesting. :)
