Alrighty! It's been a good two months since I have posted in my blog and as I sit here watching How I Met Your Mother on tv and contemplate when I will go shopping for dinner tonight; I'm ready to update! Christmas was amazing here, my mom treated me to a christmas tree and tree skirt so we had a beautiful decorated tree and I even got around to wrapping presents before christmas! Here's the finished look:
I'm going to do the mantle in white, and most likely do the fabric black. Then I will decorate with black and white knick knacks on the top shelf, I'm hoping mine will be a tad wider than that to incorporate a few pictures/picture frames, candle sticks, and a large picture in the middle. I'm hoping for something dramatic, possibly a black and white picture of some sort of wild animal reuinion haha..Since I am trying to add some leopard print in black and white to the bedroom as well as the zebra... I also want to add some more pieces of the dark red that I used in the bathroom and on my lampshade:) I recently bought a large vase in a deep red that I have in the corner of the bedroom, but have yet to add anything to it. I'm hoping to get something like....this:
yea it turned out awesome I must admit.
Yesterday I ventured to Target with my bestie and !!FINALLYY! got a bookshelf. It is amazing and I am soo flippin happy. Now that I've gotten the bookshelf though, I've realized I dont have many books or anything to put into it... So that is my next goal.
As for my next crafting adventure, I'm going big this time!! I am going to make a mantle headboard for the bedroom! It is going to be completely beautiful and awesome and all of the above. First of all, it's a pretty good project because my mom has a bunch of left over scrap wood and old homemade columns that will be perfect for the sides of the mantle. All we need to get is a piece of plywood for the center as well as the foam and fabic that will go over the ply wood. I'm hoping for it to look a little like this:

they light up!!!! And are soo perrty, I just wish they were in a redder color, but oh well. I can improvise, but I was also going to add a couple other branches with black balls on it (sounds totally odd...but you shall see the awesomeness!) and maybe some cattails? who knows.. its all a work in progress.
As for the living room, I sorta wandered all over the place there for a second...but I am SO FREAKIN EXCITED to get this print framed that my lovely mama got for me and put it up above the couch! It will be fantastic... Here's a picture of the painting that was $2000 online.. ha. We didnt splurge that bad...
but it is still absolutely beautiful, and I cannot WAIT to put it up. Can you feel my excitement? Hahah. I think I've blabbed on and on enough here...but well ha, Im going to talk some more!
Some "New Years Resolutions" I have up my sleeve are to be smarter with my grocery shopping, hence planning a shopping list for the week, and shop only for that week, ANNDD eat healthier! I thikn Drew and I eat fairly well, but end up eating out a lot and not having complete meals, So I am adding either a salad or chopped fruit or veggies or a combo(woo!) as a side to our dinners. I also hope to get back into school and finish my AA this year, and get Drew to take and pass a class as well. So far, we are on the right track!
Thanks for stoppin by. :)
