from blah to totally amazing: before & after

happy monday!

my little guy slept from 8:30 pm straight through to 7:30 am-- no waking up at all so I am one happy camper. we moved about a week ago and ever since then it's taken him some time to get used to the new place and his new room so sleeping at night has been a bit of a struggle, waking up multiple times a night....until now!! [crossing my fingers]

this morning I came across this totally unreal before and after of a bathroom remodel.

I could not even believe the world of difference between the before and after, that I just had to share this with you.

talk about inspiration!

and.....

wait for it...

amazing right?!!!

diy hexagon pendant + #feelgoodfriday

happy friday to you babes!

hope you're all as excited for the weekend as I am :)

we moved across town last weekend so this week has been totally crazy trying to get everything settled...not even mentioning all the boxes that still have not been unpacked. 

+ I was pulled in by a scammer this morning---luckily I'm not a total idiot haha.

but just so you are all aware out there: don't ever send money to anyone no matter the situation if it seems the least bit fishy. 

basically this guy told me her wanted to purchase what I was selling online. he wanted to purchase it through paypal- thought I'd be nice and say okay; I sent an invoice and he told me it was "paid" + extra 200 for his "movers". couldn't find his email anywhere-- finally it was in "spam" [because it is spam] he wanted me to pay his movers because they wouldn't accept paypal, so I just needed to send $200 to them and then it will go through....??

wow- c'mon. I'm not that dumb.

anywayssss enough about the crazy people out there trying to take advantage of everyone.

back to the good stuff-- I found this a m a z i n g diy hexagonal pendant from view along the way blog and I need to make this!

these are the supplies she says are needed for the pendant-- she had quite a bit on hang so I imagine if you bought everything the cost would be somewhere around $50?? It seems a bit ambitious, but the end result it seriously awesome-- this pendant would be perfect for the kitchen or dining room!

Dodecahedron Light

• 8-foot piece of poplar: Had on hand (normal cost is about $7)
• Stain and poly: Had on hand
• Small piece of acrylic to hang it: $5-10
• Pendant hardware: Hacked a pendant we bought at a yard sale for $3
• Total: ~$10 (!!)

#feelgoodfriday

 people wonder why they are so unhappy--- maybe it's because the decisions you're making everyday are poor ones. try making choices each day that can help others or are selfless choices. I have found that when you start thinking less about yourself and what you "need" and start thinking of others and doing things for them, happiness is brought back to you.

see you monday friends :)

best brackets

when you have a lot of art work, photos, or frames to hang sometimes the best solution can be putting these all on a wall shelf. that way you don't have to nail in 42 holes to hang frames + you can set little trinkets on the shelf that other wise would not be able to be displayed.

here are 6 trusty shelf brackets that are sure to do the job and look fabulous while doing it.

one // two // three

 four // five // six

now just grab a shelf or make one yourself and your wall unit is complete!

h&m s e c r e t revealed

 okay-- I am sort of in awe right now, as I was scrolling through h&m online, looking for baby boy clothes this morning (I shop for him more than myself these days...) I happened to see a 'home' tab at the top of the page and....

voila------h&m home. 

maybe I am the only one who didn't know about this?!!!

I mean we all love h&m for the cute trendy clothing, jewelry, bags...and most of all pocket-friendly prices. and they have a home section?! ahh-mazing.

i n t e r i o r doors

as I have mentioned before in a post--- when you paint interior doors black, it really makes them look more sophisticated and gives the space a fresh and dramatic look.

the other day I was glancing at dimples & tangles blog and I came across a post where she has painted most of the interior doors in her home from white to black and I think it makes a world of difference and they look ahhh-mazing!

here's a peek-- click here to see the entire post

another idea that's fun is to paint or stencil on the interior of a bedroom door-- whether it's your master or something funky for the kids!

here are a few ideas:
