BOWS :)

We got a plastic tree last year and this year it seemed to have lost its luster a bit :( - it doesn't seem as full as last year.
So I was looking for ideas to make my sad tree look better, and I remembered how my sister put bows on her tree one year. So I went to Target and got a couple materials, you don't need much at all.



and simply tied a bow!



and Voila!



Soooo Easy!

Bedroom Makeovers on a Budget

Though not my style I do love their curtian rod headboard idea and the lamps, though the lamps is a messy project. Enjoy!

Home Design Inspiration

I love this clean, open look and feeling! I think I would add family/friends pictures instead but I have a huge empty wall in my living room and I have been searching for inspiration and found it!

This awesome blog posted sneak peaks of Michelle Smith's (Check out some of her designs- I love how she has incorporated bird motifs- my wedding theme) home and it's great cause they even list where some of the items were purchased. More pics below

LOVE! While there check out their under $100 small storage list.

Motivation for Decoration

I've been following several other newlywed blogs and have been very motivated to organize and really decorate out apartment. On Friday night, my husband and I went to Toys'R Us for the release of some new Transformer Toys (Yes, Hubby is a Nerd! But a cute one!) , anyway as were waiting for the release, I went into World Market for the first time! I was so mad that this pay period was for rent because I really could have done some damage. I didn't come out empty handed though, I got some cute reversable pillows for the couch:

I'll be going back next payday for some storage items to put under my messy coffee table for magazines and photo albums:

I'm excited! Also excited to be planning Hubby's 30th Birthday Celebration - I'll post details later.
