is it just me, or does decorating your home make you nervous, sweaty, and overly anxious? anyone? ...ok i'm probably one of the only ones, but decorating our space can be difficult for me. i typically can make decisions quickly and with no regret... except for when it comes to picking out a pillow for the couch. i've made a lot of progress the past few months years (who am i kidding here?!) but i'm starting to feel like giving up. i feel like sharing this will motivate me to continue decorating our apartment.
a lot of my struggles come within spending money or DIY-ing things i see and like. i'm also the most impatient person when it comes to completing projects. above, you can see my nightstand. we use vintage orange crates propped on one end. the lamp was thrifted and i added twine around the lampshade.
i used burlap, white acrylic paint, and stencils to add some details to the above frames. the album is bright eyes' first day of my life. early on when jake and i started dating he gifted me the framed album - which is my favorite. now, go listen to first day of my life by bright eyes. i hope it makes you smile like i do every time i listen to it.
this is jake's side of the dresser. he loves his tolkien. the giant clothespin was a gift. the camera was thrifted, and the mushrooms are from target.
this would be my side of the dresser. the bowl is part of a set i was gifted at one of my bridal showers. the shell ring holder was something that once belonged to my grandma and the earring crate is something i thrifted.
i'm sure plenty of you have seen tutorials on many blogs on this project. i simply found a picture at a thrift store (the frame is what sold me!) and added the saying "such great heights". it was our wedding song (iron & wine's version) and has a lot of special meaning to us. it's hanging above our dresser.
ok, i think i'm off to finally decide on that pillow... or maybe i'll just try to make one myself...
