Guest Room

One of my very good friends is coming to visit in less than two weeks and I have to get our guest room finished. Currently, the room has a bed, a random dresser and a BUNCH OF CRAP. You know, that room you throw all your random stuff in when you have people come over because you want to hide it all? Yep, that's the room. The room is also an ugly shade of yellow - which is a bummer, because I am a fan of yellow, but this yellow is fugs.


Here are some photos of inspiration that I have for this room...

Usually this busy print wouldn't be my thing for a bed, but I really love this and think it would work well! Plus it's on sale at Potterybarn.com :)

I purchased this print along with another coordinating print from Green Nest on Etsy, while I haven't received them yet, I adore them!

I adore this birch tree wallpaper!!! I want to cover just one wall with it. In fact, I have been thinking about it nonstop for a week. Because of it's steep price, I am looking for other options, possibly wall decals?

Chris suggested we paint the room green, and I really like the green paint in this photo!

This room will also be a place for me to store some of my growing deer collection :)



Wish me luck!!! And, you are very welcome to give me suggestions if you know of some cute decor that will go with what I dub my "woodland" theme. :)

I'm currently obsessed with stuffed animal head wall hangings...

This one cracks me up with the grandma-esque red glasses! Via themuststashstore.

And how sweet is this little heart nosed deer?! Via miniforest.

I think girlsavage's shop is the first place I ever saw these.



How can you resist this cute little Rhino!! Omygawsh!! Via PlanetFur.


Just kidding on this one. I mean it's cute and all, but, can you imagine a tiny deer head protruding from your chest? Via kitschygalore.

PS, the weird things I had to sift through to find some of these..yourewelcome.

Inspiration

Well I have no concrete wedding plans yet, but I pretty much have the whole thing planned out in my head. Jumping the gun much? I do want to get married sometime in October, though! What I am loving most about being wedding crazy is seeing all these awesome ideas everywhere and being all, "ohhh I can make that!" I have a feeling I will go a little bit insane if I try to make everything though :) We'll see!

But! I did make this inspiration "board" the other day and it makes me drool!


Let's make this happen!

PS, Morgan sent me this awesome wedding blog, Ruffled - it is absolutely AMAZING. Check it out!

Currently Obsessed...

...stamps!!!

Omigosh. This is where the Internet is troublesome. I see one little cute thing I like and it turns into a search for cheaper, cuter things; and by the time I am done I've found 800 cute things that are on my want-list.

And then, THEN...I get to share it with you and then you find all these cute things to buy. A vicious circle, vicious I'm telling you!!!

Cuteness in the Kitchen

I thought I would share some lovely kitchen things I have found on the Internetz lately (ie., I have nothing better to do). Hope you enjoy :)

Lovebird S&P shakers! SO CUTE! I am determined to have somebody buy me these (hint hint wink wink, anyone? Bueller?)


These awesome bird measuring spoons. Yeah they are uber expensive, at least in my book. Maybe something to stick on a wedding registry?

Graphic bowl/plates found at Urban. I saw these a few weeks ago, they are so adorable. If only mis-matched dishes were cool...


I still think my friend over at BeanPickleSprout has the cuuuuutest potholders/placemats/dish towels on the entire Internet!

I could list about 80 things from Anthropologie on this one, but this honey jar is calling my name at the moment. My other fav's are the grapefruit sugar bowl and goose measuring cups. Heart.

I purchased a few different kitchen prints not to long ago, but this one was also on my list of NEEDS. Who doesn't need a cupcake?

And how about something for the dogs and cats? These pet feeders are simple, yet awesome. And! You can get the painted any color, win-win.


And who could forget a cute apron? There are millions out there, MILLIONS I tell ya! I could waste hours finding the best of the best. But right now, this one does it for me.

Inspiration? Halp!

Oh..right..I have a blog...

I guess everyone goes through phases where they feel completely...I don't know, bored? Uninspired? Just...blah? Don't get me wrong...I have plenty(!!!) of things to do, in fact, I keep myself pretty busy most of the time. I just have lots of unfinished or unstarted projects, that would really make myself happier if I would just do them! It may be more fun with a craft partner, maybe that's my problem. I don't know.

Actually...I don't really even have much to say; I just wanted to write here in case someone was missing me (hah, right...) That's pretty pathetic, and probably not going to help my want from helpful/encouraging comments :-/

I hope between now and the end of the weekend I can really finish my bathroom project, and also finish my THREE craft projects I have sitting on the kitchen table.



Umm, to add some happiness to this post...I will leave you with this video, since I have the song stuck in my head...and it's cute!
