Guest Bathroom Design

Our guest bathroom is in desperate need of some TLC. Its stark white and really has no theme. This summer I have pled with my awesome hubby to help me with a small bathroom re-model. This is nothing crazy, only really requires paint and a few new accessories. Here is my inspiration board:

Hopefully, we'll start the painting soon!

Wedding Memories

Four years ago today, June 11th 2005, I married my best friend. I'll always remember this wonderful day, it was perfect! Happy Anniversary sweetie, I love you!

Below are a few favorite moments from the big day:

Seeing my beautiful bridesmaids in their bright pink dresses! Gotta love it!

This one always makes me cry: me and my dad, enough said

Treating Your Windows

Window treatments can dress up a room in a flash! You don't need to spend a lot of money to get a great look! And you don't need to know how to sew! Below are a few treatments that I've done on a budget.

I had these brown treatments (from TJ Maxx) but I didn't want them to hang from a rod. So we bought rosettes from Lowes and painted them a metallic bronze. Derek screwed them into the wall. I attached brown ribbon to the top back of the treatments so they could hang on the rosettes. Ta da!!


This treatment hangs in our bathroom. I found this great fabric and trim to match. I bought a roller shade from home depot. Make sure you measure your window before buying the shade. They will cut the shade to fit the exact size of your window. Then, cut the fabric the exact size of the shade and use spray adhesive on the shade and back side of fabric. Start on one end and carefully press fabric on shade. Add trim to bottom of shade using a glue gun. Ta da!


I had these red treatments but they were not long enough for me (picture is kind of dark but you get the idea). So I searched through all my old stuff and found some old beige/green colored treatments. I ripped them up, yes I ripped them! Its easier than cutting. And used my old treatments to add length to my red ones by simply gluing them together with my glue gun. Then I stole an idea from the nester - Love her!! I used her idea of hanging my treatments from upholstery tacks and drapery clips. This is so inexpensive compared to buying a rod. Ta da!

Happy decorating!
