Oh what a glorious weekend

We had one of those weekends where we did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

And it was glorious!

Neither of us had any plans or obligations and we both decided to keep it that way. We haven't both had a weekend like this in a long time, so it was welcomed.

I also started to feel my chest get all numb and scratchy over the past couple days - so I thought that a weekend of literally laying around was a good remedy to get rid of this cold before it got any worse!



We also had me familia over last Thursday night for some pizza and hanging out!


Adam (my bro) came and slept over that night too!




This little sicky was throwing up the entire time!

You can bet that I bleached all surfaces after everyone left...I didn't want to risk feeling worse than I was already starting to feel :-)



Hope you all had a good weekend!

Muwahahahah...

Finding use in things lying around

I wanted to fill the wall above the couch in our living room but didn't want to spend much money on it.

I had a box FULL of picture frames of all shapes, sizes and colors.



I decided to paint all of the frames white.

And then filled them with scrap paper.



And hung them on the wall.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.


I want to fill it more.



And will ultimately change some out and add other things... I'm not quite sure yet.



But for now it works.

Bedroom makeover

I'm slowly but surely making my way around the house, room to room and trying to make it feel homey and 'filled'.

First up - our bedroom.

My brother and sil left their poster bed, so I gave it a couple fresh coats of paint and rigged it together with our bed and frame.




I also added a plate (found at Dollar Tree) and two mirrors from the apartment that used to be black but I painted them white! I ordered a vinyl decal monogram that I'm going to stick in the middle of that plate. So cute - I'm a little monogram obsessed lately...



I just LOVE the look of it. It looks so comfy and dreamy to me! And simple.



I bought these vinyl decals at Dollar Tree! I couldn't believe it! Some were cheesy and for kids but I found a few that were useful for me. I bought a wooden board from Hobby Lobby and painted it white. Then cut and stuck the vinyl decal to the dried board. I used upholstery tacks to attach the ribbon and hang it. You can't tell but the walls are robin egg blue-ish.


I found these gold frames at Walgreen's today for $3! I made a little mr. and mrs. sign with scrap paper and mod podge and printed out pictures of us.




Then spray painted a small black picture frame white and inserted a vellum quote over a piece of scrap paper and voila!

Oh I used some painters tape to add some ribbon to the back of the frame and feux hung the ribbon with an upholster tack. I love that wall.




This is the only yuck part of the room right now. Remember that armoire? Well it's primed, waiting to be painted and then will replace that small little shelf thing. I can't wait to get that in there!

To keep me humbled...

A few weeks ago I had the worst tooth pain that I think I've ever experienced.

Turns out I had a root canal that got abscessed and infected.

So...I had to have my {molar} tooth pulled. It didn't hurt one bit, have I ever told you all how much I LOVE Novocaine?!

The day before I got my tooth pulled the dentist (whom I actually like) made me 'comfortable' for the night so I could make it through. He basically gave me some pain killers and a shot of Novocaine.

Immediately after the shot of Novocaine, my one side of my face swelled up - it literally looked like I had a golf ball in my cheek.

Evidence...




And the oral surgeon said they nicked a blood vessel, so along with the golf ball cheek I also had a lovely bruise that slowly, day by day went through the stages of bruising.



It was load of fun :-) My cheek is still slightly numb, but I read that it could take up to 6 months I think, so I'm not worried.

Thought I'd share that with you all!!! :-)
