Well, when I get into a mood; I really want to get things done...but MOST of the time I'm just trying to keep my house clean, get to work on time, and have time for my friends and family! Right now I'm in the middle of my day off, and have started wandering around our place doing little things here and there. Cleaning and straightening up the closet is where I began...then I moved onto the bathroom sink, started cleaning the area and the toilet...the shower....moved onto folding the clean clothes that have been sitting there for a week now...haha. And then I moved downstairs and realized I felt crafty! I have had these plates for awhile that I MUST GET ON THE WALL! I found a tutorial online using a paperclip, sand paper and super glue that seems to hold up plates really well, yet I have no sand paper or super glue....grr. I will most likely be going out to grab those items before the day is over and putting up my plates. But then once I got to thinking about where my plates are going to go....I felt the NEED to find a place for my metal peacocks! They were once behind the couch...but now need a new home. Right now they are laying on top of the bookshelf like sad dead birds....they really need to be up on the wall where they belong! I will ponder their placement once I get the plates up and feel happy with where I put them... hopefully later today!
My next goals are to fill up all the space in my new entertainment center. Oh, I didn't tell you about my new entertainment center!? Yeah...got a new coffee table too!!! ...I will put up pics once I'm done rambling. And I really want to get to work on my mantle headboard and complete my bedroom area....Then of course I am going to want to move into a bigger place so I can just keep going and going and going.... I am very limited here.
As for the bedroom, I am contemplating switching out my zebra theme for a more vintage whites and creams and light teals? a little black thrown in. Not really a "theme", but I've seen some beautiful ideas on pinterest! Right now my side tables are black and I have a black trunk and a silver trunk, which I plan on keeping all except the black trunk. I want to get some vintage trunks instead. I may just keep the zebra comforter, but rather than keeping it modern, vintage-ize it up a little! I think it's do-able.. Definitely my next project will be upstairs and perfecting the bedroom!
So, I'm pretty much done with the living room, I just need a very SMALL table for the backside of the couch with drawers so I can use my cute peacock knobs. I think I want it in a green or blue color. It would really pop and bring everything together :). I'm not going to move though, until I buy a place. At least, that's what I tell myself right now. I want to buy so I can paint, and plant, and remodel, and not have to leave it behind for someone else to enjoy....unless I am renting it out myself. Once Drew gets himself a better job, we are both going to start contributing to a savings plan and get ourselves a cute little house or cottage preferably on a little bit of land. That's our goal at least!!! Hope it works out for us.
Alright I'm done with the chit chat, here's some updates via photos!
I put the vase and peacock back over by the "bar" area, but once I get more in the shelves, I might put them back...if it doesn't look too cluttered. The bar area is super cluttered with them there, and isn't as nice of a place to sit or eat with less room there. But time will tell!
the CUTEST coffee table ever, with my cute candle holders and cute candle plate. I absolutely adore it and love it even more because it was only $20!! We are going to keep it simple like that, just candles and then put a couple "classy" magazines on the bottom of it. I have a few Rolling Stones that I might throw under there:). And then keep our glasses and coasters on our side table that we already have.
I randomly got these branches to put in my vase upstairs and thought I'd share it with everyone!
New potpourri that we have in one of the boxes in the entertainment center. I love it!! And it smells amazing: bamboo and jasmine.
This is my cute little fountain I got that was only 5 bucks!!! I threw in some of the stones and fake diamonds I had in the plate with my candles, so now that isn't as crowded. I love how everything just works itself out! My fountain is super cute and I plan on finding a spot for it in the entertainment center, but for now it lives on the coffee table. Like I said, I want to keep it pretty simple, so the fountain (or should I say, Latoya? haha) wont be sitting there for long.

That's about all I got for updates right now, but as soon as classes are out for the JC later this month I'll have a little more to talk about!! Yay!
