Becoming a DIYer

We have a window in our spare room that was feeling a little empty, so I made this pennant. I die cut using cardstock, the Epic 6 tool, and the nesting pennant dies. Then I strung them together with a thick string. I love the soft, summery look it adds, and since I am inept at sewing, this worked out slick! :)

So Landon Paul is a really handy human. We've been redecorating our place and were in need of a shelf, so he got to work. He cut the wood with a saw and did some detail work with a router.

Then he sanded, stained, and assembled.

And there you go! The final product! I confess, I can't stop staring at it. It just finishes the room off so well! The man has skills!

Landon Paul and I won't be buying a home for a while, so it's utterly ridiculous to have my dream home worked out. But why should that stop the fun? This is what I know: I'm obsessed with wood and brick. I especially love wood on the ceiling. If that is involved, you can pretty much convince me to do anything.

I want my home to be different...just like everyone else, but I think little touches make a big difference. Like these doors - so cool!

We've lived in our apartment for about 6 months now, and it's time for a change. Unfortunately, our changes are never minor. The only room that we aren't redoing is our bedroom! Anyhoo, here's how the family room is coming:

One more thing. Look at my cute puppy. We're working on sit right now. He is my fave.

Have you noticed how many truly ugly baby things there are out there? Just because I want to be a mom doesn't mean I want to carry around a multi-colored diaper bag, ya know? Thankfully, pinterest is helping me steer clear of all things uggo. Don't get me wrong, these nurseries are way out of the budget, but a girl can dream and gather color palette inspiration, right?

I am lovin on these neutral schemes. The way I see it, if a baby is going to be screaming at 3am, the room you walk into should be relaxing, right? This via RH Baby & Child

Happy Halloween! This is our first Halloween in our new place, so we'll see if we get any trick-or-treaters! I'll show you some of our Halloween decorations today to get you in the mood for all the sugary fun!

I made some glittery pumpkins this year and really like how they turned out. I just spray painted them and then added some glitter spray and tied a ribbon on top. (Any tips on painting round surfaces? It was a little tricky).
