SPRING ROOMS

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013

I haven't started my daughter's room yet

except for straightening it up and taking a few before pics.

I'm "itching" to get started!

I have so many ideas running through my head I had to write them down.

From little things that need to be fixed, replaced, painted,

to being made and thrifted.

Not sure that it will all happen 

but its safer for me to make big plans and work towards them

than take the easy/safe route of just buying her Hello Kitty decor items.

(Not that its bad, I just want to create her room myself)

I know for sure that I DON'T want to spend lots of $

or 

make it look like HELLO KITTY threw up in there.

hahahaha

For reals!

I've gotten to some jean babies but need to make more

LOTS, LOTS MORE.

For now, here's the change up in our home.

:)

I had a realization yesterday.

After the kids went to school,

hubby left to Eureka for work

and I got to straightening up and changing out some decor....

WHO 
may I ask,
said I can't mix greens with burgundy without it looking Christmas-y?!

WELL?

 I guess I did

I'd been avoiding using greens for fear of clashing or looking like Christmas
but yesterday was the day and I said "YES!"

M.S. says I get all my great ideas when she's gone....

This time everyone was gone.

She may have a point, but it has to do with the quiet in the house,

my brain gets going.

Well, the Christmas tree use to be here 

and this 3rd chair was tucked away in my closet under LOTS of blankets.

Green pillow- its secretly 2 small pillows,

side by side in a long pillowcase, then tucked into itself.

Remember these drawers?

They were UNDER the tree.

Now they stand nicely between the chair and couch

as my magazine holder.

ALL those magazines?

Thank you, nice lady.
