Master Bedroom

Next up is the master bedroom. All the rooms upstairs are petty small. This is the biggest of all of them, so that's why we use it as the master!:) there is a lot to still do in here but this is it for now... I'm hoping to get more on the walls soon. Also, I would like to paint the woodwork white and the curtains and canopy needs trim sewn on!:)

Dream Closet

I am going to take a tour of my upstairs in pictures so I thought I would start of with my latest project. I redid my spare bedroom. I turned it into my closet... And left a bed in there for overnight guests. These pics were some of my inspiration. Of course it never turns out looking quite as good as the pics (esp. on my budget;) $$) but I am fairly pleased with how it turned out!:)

This picture was my favorite and main look I was trying to go for!

This pic is my very favorite designer Annie Brahler of Euro Trash(www.euro-trash.us) closet. Also, another main inspiration.

More of euro trashes work.

...and this is the before pic.

So, it didn't always look quite this bad... This was in the midst of painting and I realized I forgot my before pic! Ha

**

**

...and here are the after pics... I just used some left over grey paint I had used on the playroom downstairs(just from Menards, can't quite remember the color's name!) and painted the wood work white (color: Menard's sweetened white)

This is my early Christmas present to myself... My adorable 1950's Eloise doll! She is one of my very favorite storybook characters. Also, her room in the books was another one of my inspirations (who doesn't love pink and pink!;) anyways, I do say i "rawther" LOVE her!

 I created this look by taking doors off and drawers out of an old wardrobe. And the two 6 foot tall bookcases from Walmart and added tension rods. Purses are stored up top the shelves.

Happy first birthday my sweet baby James!!

Its finally here... the day i've been kind of dreading. My baby boys first birthday. I've just been so emotional feeling about it and thats kind of weird for me. Don't get me wrong... I am SO thankful he's  growing but there's also something sad about watching a year of his life come and go. I think I am just staring to realize what everyone has been telling me...it goes really fast! So as promised I'm putting up a ton, yes maybe a little carried away ;), but some of my favorite pictures of James though this past year.
