Pet Peeve #1,589
Please do not use your turn signal when going through a roundabout. That would be like a NASCAR driver using his turn signal every time he makes a left hand turn in a race. They are ALL left hand turns. Just don't do it.

Some DIY Lovin'
Moving is the perfect opportunity to re-decor-ate your space. It all starts with a new comforter. Then I say to myself, If I'm going to get a new comforter I have to completely redecorate! Voila. DIY Lovin'. I like the way a lot of spaces look, but don't happen to have the amount of dollars it takes to purchase those looks. Solution: Make it yourself! The WWW is the best way to find inspiration. I have recently found several thrifty decorating/cooking/baking blogs that I am becoming obsessed with. I will link to these gems later on. For now, enjoy these amateur photos of my recently finished Flea Market lamp and my Scrapbook paper wall hangings. :)




This lamp cost me 8 bucks at a kitschy little flea market in Ozark. The shade was a very odd periwinkle Granny blue but I LOOOOVE the base. My crafty momma found a super cute way to cover a lamp shape with fabric so we tried it! A coat of black spray paint to cover the loooooong goose neck and there ya have it! A brand new lamp. (Sorry there are no before pictures. Trust me. It was a hideous lamp shade.) I also refinished and antiqued that table but there was too much stuff in or around it to take a good picture.
My sister first introduced me to this idea. All you need is coordinating scrapbook paper, spray adhesive, and some 12x12 squares of plywood. I did 9, but I thought using 4 or 5 would also be cute. You can hang them in all sorts of different patterns. It's a very simple and inexpensive way to spice up a wall!
My next project is to plump up my bed. It needs a little spicing up!
