Project Underway!

Bedroom Lamp Makeover

Yep, I am starting a project today! Over the weekend I made a stop at Man's Land  Hope Depot to pickup my supplies. When Steve and I first moved into our apt we purchased a set of inexpensive lamps at Target (I had no idea how expensive lamps could be!) and I have now decided they need a "new look." I am planning to spray paint (primer, coat, and gloss) the base of the lamps white and then makeover the lampshades somehow (still coming up with ideas!).

Ellie has also started Project Life this year. What is Project Life? It is a way to document and capture not just the big moments in life, but the little ones, too! Which is why I absolutely LOVE it! It is so easy to forget the little things of everyday life, but with Project Life no memory will be left out. To get more information go to ellie bellie handmade and Becky Higgin's site (the creator of project life) and you'll get all that you need to start Project Life for 2013... it will be here before ya know it!!!

Startin' Summer Off Right!

>>>>>>>>>>> Summer is here! <<<<<<<<<<<

 Every summer I have a long list of "to do's"(projects, goals, ect...) and it always seems that I NEVER accomplish all that I had hoped. So, this summer I decided that I need to create a weekly Summer Schedule to help me be more productive this summer. 

I decided to use one of my favorite items in my kitchen, my chalkboard.  About three years ago I was on the hunt for a chalkboard and I was over the moon when I found this one at Home Goods (a favorite store of mine!).

Cute chalkboard + Colorful chalk = My Summer Schedule!

 My first thought was that it looks like the dinner specials board at  Coco's...oh well :)  I love that it is colorful and it will definitely not be hard to miss each time I walk into the kitchen. Hopefully it will help me keep up with all my "to do's" this summer!

I also had to take a picture of one of my absolute favorite flowers, PEONIES! I look forward to buying them every June at Trader Joes. There is nothing better than having a vase full of flowers in your house to help start off your summer!

>>>I hope you find ways to start your summer off right, too!<<<
