Master Bedroom Drapes and Wall Decor

I'm getting a little crafty. And I like it. Never have I considered myself the crafty type, but I have found that with a little inspiration from the internet and a lot more free time, cute projects have resulted.

Over the past month I have been attempting to make our new apartment feel a little more "like home." The first step was to give the windows in the master bedroom a little bit of love. After searching Pinterest for ideas, I came across this pattern and I think I like the results:


I love that they go from floor to ceiling, thus giving our room a bigger feel. I also love sleeping in a completely dark room. I am pretty picky about this and sleeping with a face mask is just not my favorite method of drifting off into dreamland.

After I got our drapes done, I decided the wall space above our headboard really needed some love. Trying to stay within the budget of birthday month from my in-laws, I had to stay simple. When Marshall and I went window shopping one Saturday, I noticed the canvas mat boards were on sale so I snatched a few up. Then, after a few weeks of thinking about what I wanted to do with them, I decided to take a line from each of our dating/wedding/anniversary songs over the past four years and display one on each board.



The inspiration came from this website for my boards. At first I was going to buy little wooden letters and then glue them on, but given my small (but generous gift) budget, I knew I couldn't go that $$ route. So I printed off the words for the songs and then traced them with puff paint onto wax paper. After drying for 24 hours, I carefully pulled them off, glued them onto the boards, and then spray painted them...and walla...a cute/cheesy/fun wall display of our favorite song lyrics was born. 


 I think it looks pretty good. All I think it needs now is a big picture of us on the side. But all in good time.

What do you think?

      Thank you!! We like our headboard too. The cool thing is that you can switch out the fabric. When we were in Alaska it was a bronze fabric. Pretty nice way to keep things fresh.

Hoping for a Rainbow

I'm really not sure if I ever thought this day would come. The day that I made it past 13 weeks pregnant without losing the baby. #miracle.  I know I am not out of the woods yet, and honestly, when are we really? I am just trying to live every day with gratitude for the life inside of me, living with hope for the future.  Part of me wanted to wait until next week, when I was past 14 weeks and officially in the 2nd trimester, but I couldn't wait any longer. I've been getting a little thick in the middle, which is getting more difficult to hide, and I feel like I haven't been able to be completely honest with friends when they would ask, "how are you doing?" All I wanted to talk about was how nauseous I was or how nervous I felt. So now, the news is out, whether or not you already suspected something was up.  Seriously though, the 1st trimester is not for the faint of heart! There were many instances when I thought I would lose the baby, but dee...

Dear Adelai |2 Years|: We've Got This

Dear Adelai, As I compiled your pictures from this past year for your album on the eve of your 2nd birthday, I realized it was impossible to include every one. You are beautiful, sassy, and extremely photogenic. It has been a beautiful year as I've watched you grow. You amaze your Dad every day by how much you love books and recognize and know your ABCs, 123s, and basic colors, and I have to agree with him. I love that you are potty trained both day and night, but unfortunately you haven't learned how to sleep through the night yet.  My favorite thing about you right now is how excited you are to meet your baby brother. You challenge me to be more patient and more loving each day, especially as you've begun to realize your autonomy.  While I am not the perfect mother, Heavenly Father is a perfect father and He will always direct your paths as he has mine. Always trust in Him. We've got this, dear daughter. Together with Heavenly Father, your life will be a...

Backpacking, Bears, and Blueberries

 Don't mind the crooked picture. The rock obviously needs to practice his photography skills! The weekend forecasted temperatures in the mid to high-70s.  Yes, summer decided to stay for at least one more weekend, so we had to take advantage of it.  Only in Alaska do you take advantage of every summery moment, and dread winter when it is only August 10th, while those in the lower 48 are suffering the worst drought the United States has seen in years. So after work on Friday afternoon, we drove an hour north of Fairbanks to the Chena Recreation area and began our 15 mile hike of Granite Tors.  We made it an overnight backpacking trip so that we would be able to enjoy ourselves a little more.  This was my first backpacking trip in about 5 years, so I was pretty excited.  Lucky for me, my husband is a stud when it comes to camping/hiking stuff, and he packed my pack for me, so I didn't have to worry about it. 15 miles ma...
