Woot Woot Wednesday

This week's Woot Woot Wednesday is dedicated to DIY (Do It Yourself!)...

I'm a big believer in DIY because #1 it's cheap and it also makes pieces original to fit your needs and style! :) ANYONE cand DIY....trust me! Here's the DIY I've done for the new house....
The antique mirror and sconces I bought from our local Facebook Sell & Swap for $15!!! It was pretty silver but I wanted it for shelby's new room and that wasn't gonna do.....
Before's:

Pretty huh??
well NOW look at it!
AFTER a lil spray paint:

the color of spray painted used is NOT hot pink... it's called Watermelon and was bought at WalMart

My BFF fr Indiana gave me the great idea to glue in lil vases and add flowers to the sconces because I can't put lights in them and I don't wanna do candles.... this kinda effect:

And then..... I ordered this $20 (YES YOU READ RIGHT!) kids table and chairs from IKea and transformed it.. I still wanna add some custom paint details but haven't settled on what I wanna do just yet....  **NOTE... it DOES NOT REMOTELY COME ASSEMBLED LIKE THIS... but YOU CAN DIY IT!! I did it ALL MYSELF FROM START TO FINISH!

 This is what it comes like.... in a million pieces w/ NO WORDS on the instructions just vague images.... but..YOU CAN DIY!!

A little spray paint and some chalkboard paint and VOILA!

SHELBY LOVES IT!!! :) I did it for her bedroom but she insists it go in her playroom so I'm gonna have to do some redecorating and rearranging to accommodate it lol..I also DIY the wall decor....just collected odds and ends....

Feel free to ask me any questions of how to DIY any projects you might have in mind!

"i've found THE ONE my soul loves....."

December 11, 2004

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary and I never would have DREAMED my life would be as fantastic and blessed as it is today! God has TRULY kept His arms around us and guided us to where we are today! We've been married 8 years but have been "Josh and Bek" for 16 YEARS.... I was in diapers when we started dating just so ya know ;) lol...  God has truly anointed our marriage and even though times haven't always been easy or perfect, with God in our marriage and our home, it's been HIS Plan and HIS loving arms leading us all the way.... I never would have imagined that 8 years ago I could love this man any more that I did that first glance I saw him as the doors to the church opened, but BOY WAS I WRONG!! Josh is my best friend, my soul mate, the father of my precious shelby and miracle baby, my lover, and the only man I've ever known and WILL EVER KNOW.... He is truly, as Song of Soloman 3:4 says, "I found the one my heart loves."
I love you Josh and will always love you til the day the Lord takes us Home.....

Our very first picture we ever took as a couple! This was the night we started dating.... 16 years ago this past July....

True Love :) Always and Forever!

Random pics for the week.... home, Christmas decor, etc...
Shelby now has a decorated room!! :) I'm not done but it's close

We've gotten more accomplished in the house.... if u can imagine lol... everyone keeps tellin me how insane i am that we've been in our house 2 weeks today and we have EVERYTHING in it's place (minus the tubs that need to go in the attic in the garage and such that is so don't get too frustrated w/ me and my OCD ;) ) and decor done... decor isn't "done" so to speak... still gotta get a breakfast bistro table to go under the breakfast area w/ chandelier, something for the giant wall behind the couch that faces the fireplace..... thinking a collage?? advice?? there was a huge mirror there from the previous owner but i don't want a huge mirror there.... just not my style....

this will be my seasonal picture changed out.... :)

had to throw in a cute sheebs pics :)

Guest bedroom or as we say, "Gigi & Gamps room"

Guest bath  it works FOR NOW....but the dusty lavender and cream walls are NOT for me...

 Our bath...

 Half bath... Josh likes the sponge painting in there and everyone else seems to as well but I'm not wild about it...but it's gonna stay.... :)

have a blessed rest of the week... i'm goin to Hobby Lobby after a dr's appt. today so maybe I can finish up what we need for decor and gotta search for a bistro table :)
