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

I'm Pregnant! .....

...or so I thought. And you did too. Happy April Fools Day! I had been having baby dreams and feeling nauseous on and off during spring break, and I knew I would test immediately when I returned home from our road trip. The test was barely visible and I didn't believe it, so I said nothing to Marshall. That night I had a dream where the next pregnancy test I took was a solid double line. Well, two days after the first test, I got my obvious positive. I was so excited. Not knowing if it would be a good pregnancy or not, I tested again two days later and the line was darker, so I felt confident.  The past two pregnancies I miscarried at approximately 6 or 7 weeks both times, so I was pretty nervous about this one. What if it happened again? Would I be strong enough? Knowing that I needed extra strength and prayers, I asked roughly 40 of our family and closest friends to fast and pray with us on Easter Sunday. That Sunday I was on the top of the world. I felt so strong an

The Power of a Slice of Bacon

Nothing to do with a Army PT test, but this was at the "Beat Beethoven 5K" on the 13th of April  I have always been a big supporter of setting personal goals and making a plan to follow through with them, especially when it comes to athletics and performance.  But I also know that these goals really are a personal endeavor, and no one can make another accomplish the goal.  The motivation and effort has to come from the individual setting the goal. But I may be wrong.  A slice of bacon might have the power to help a person accomplish a certain goal. Let me explain. Ever since my husband entered the Army, just shy of 2 years ago, he has been saying he was going to get a perfect score of 300 on his PT test.  I believed in him, and kept waiting for him to come home from his PT tests with that perfect score.  But he seemed to always come shy of the elusive 300, by just a couple of points.    How could I help him achieve his 300 I knew he could do?  As hard as I tr
