my dream closet!

I had so much fun turning one of our spare bedrooms into a closet! We really didn't need two guest bedrooms, and my husband is AHHMAZZING! We have two closets in our master, but still needed more room for all my clothes. Hope you love it too~ :)

The love of wallpaper!!

I am obsessed with wallpaper! Many homeowners do not use it, but I love it! I think it is a great way to dress up a bathroom, and add some color! This is not the cheapest route to go if trying to save money in your new home, however I knew this is something I really wanted to spend our budget on. 

We shopped around a lot with installers because they will get you with the price and installment of size of room and per roll. My uncle is in the furniture business so I was able to get my wallpaper wholesale from Dixie Textiles. Talk about an overwhelming experience is picking out wallpaper!!!! I am pretty obsessed with the final product!!

living room

Designing the living room was a big deal to me. I was so nervous because my main color was from my drapes that I sewed! I tend to be colorful, and for the sake of my husband I tried my best to keep the colors neutral with small pops of color in accent pillows, drapes, etc...


I purchased the couches years ago, the vintage train cart was from Home Goods, rug ikea, entertainment piece-ikea, lamp-z-gallerie, pillows-pottery barn/home goods/target.

I was so worried with the wall colors, but once we got the drapes up I really love how the room turned out!

bedroom

These night stands were my parents that they had for over 20+ years, and I knew they would be perfect in our bedroom so I redid these, and found this dresser at a thrift store. I started to sanded, more sanding...painted and added knobs! This took me about a week to finish everything and a couple coats of paint!


The key to getting a slick finished piece is using a spray gun. I have not used spray paint on these pieces. The spray gun makes it very easy to paint any type of furniture and different woods.


Dresser-$50
Knobs-$2.50 each

Nightstand-free
knobs-$2.50 each
paint-$100 but I used this on 7 pieces of furniture.

Studded shoes

I had some pretty ugly pumps that I was going to give away, but figured I could make them look different from some pinterest ideas!

This took me about 25 minutes, used some fabric glue and got some studs from Jo Anns, and a bow!

I really love how these shoes transformed and can't wait to wear them with some skinny jeans and for the holidays!

DIY Shoes

I got these really cute kate Spade shoes, but they are very uncomfortable and it gave me the idea of making some Old Navy wedges I got on sale for $12. They were very blah so I gave them a lift! :)

Total: $20
