Come on in

...to our room.

There's been a lot of craftiness going on in this house recently. The bunny is getting bigger and better at on-time naps, leaving scheduled time for me to clean craft. Yesterday I made a little coat hanger for our foyer. I found these letters at hobby lobby and, duh, spray painted a sign that I already had hanging around. I just nailed the letters to the board and hung her up.


















Next I tackled the master bedroom. I don't have any before pictures, of course, sorry. Here's what it looks like today:




I found two sets of frames at the thrift store and kinda jacked this idea. Anyway. 



K and I wrote out our vows and I framed them in the small dark wooden frames. 


The loose hanging pages are the lyrics handwritten to "our song". You can listen to that amazing song right here


I love that the letters aren't exactly straight. For once. I also love that the loose pages are only tacked at one corner and sway a bit with the breeze of the fan. It makes me feel cozy. 
I got the browned and crinkled look for the paper by following the antique drawing tutorial here





Our bedside tables are similar and simple. Lamps, a couple of Reader's Digest books and a must-have picture of the bunny. {and a thesaurus for me. love 'em.}

I bought our curtains at IKEA and hemmed them myself. They came with the iron-on adhesive, but I opted for the real stitch deal. I am thinking about adding a burlap stripe at the bottom. One day. 


And, no. Our room is not always this neat. I do try to make the bed every day, but there's usually laundry on the bed, a bunny in the play pen and a cup, er, or two, on the side tables. Oh, and lots of nerdy stuff strewn about.  

Hope you like it as much as I do! But it's ok if you don't. You don't get to have to sleep here. 

Did someone mention a bunny? 
We've had a fun week so far...

First: a bad hair day straight from the bath

Next: I was distracted. By something. I didn't even notice until I swung her around to sit on my hip and she went flying all the way around my back. Her face says it all... 



oops.


Oh, but she forgives me. She's the sweetest. 


Until Next Time, 
The Guff
