Closet Caos Day 1!

Guess what! I'm so excited to be starting my newest project of my house(never ending), my DREAM closet! When my husband and I got married we were lucky enough to build our own little cottage in the country. Once a storage barn, now our home. We started converting this barn about three and a half years ago when Charlie and I were engaged. We had to make quick decisions about our home finding the best deals. Since our wedding was about four months away, that's all we had to build our little home.

Really, we had a good amount of time but both Charlie and I worked full time jobs and I lived two hours away so I wasn't much help. All we had time for was the essentials-our bedroom,kitchen,bathroom,and living room.
I don't have a SINGLE closet in my home(What were we thinking? Wedding I guess). Now three years later we've managed to discuss starting my closet. We've have decided to use our attic as a WALK IN closet! This won't be easy however since....

1.It's full of my in-laws stuff(for 25 years).
2.It's an attic- meaning we have to take everything down a flight of stairs.
3.It's an oven in the middle of the summer.
4.It's full of cob webs,spiders and bees!Ahhh!
5.It has peaked walls- a closet nightmare.

However it will all pay off when I see that amazing closet come to life. My heart is fluttering!!! So here it is the horrifying pictures of the attic were starting with! Be prepared - its not for the faint! I have so many ideas flowing through my mind so I will need your guys' help picking things out so stay tuned! OK got to go - got to get back to work!

A Little Mud on the Tires!!

Happy Anniversary to My Hubby!

Last week I got to post about my husbands anniversary gift to me...so this time I'll show you what I did for Charlies gift! No, nothing crafty this time since this year I'm in school but I did take him out for a day of Rubicon madness! For those of you who dont know what that is, it's 4-wheelin heaven for any guy!

Yesterday we woke up early, packed lunch and loaded up on sun block! Charlies been on wheels practically since he was born, having his first gocart at age 3! Hes had more cars than I can count on my fingers and TOES! So what else better for a gift than going wheelin with his buddies(and me too!)for the weekend!


This is Charlies best buddie Grant and his wife!



Here is what they call soup can. A very tough place to get through...


Charlie tries...


Celebration..he made it!!!


This is his moment, with all the guys cheering :0)


This is me wheelin! Kinda scary... but awesome!! Charlie was proud ;0)

Just a little mud puddle....



Say cheese :0)


Time well wasted...
It was a beautiful day! Here's to my best friend and love of a life time!You are what I never knew I always wanted....

Happy Anniversary To Me!!

I'm so excited to be celebrating my 3 year anniversary! (June 16th) For this last year Charlie and I's life has been so crazy with me in beauty school. This year we talked about what we wanted to do to celebrate and we decided to keep it low key and simple. But when couples tell each other that, is it really so? (Of course not!!)

Well this year my hubby did good,real good!~ Let me tell you of his surprise!
So it was Saturday morning and we were headed out for the day and Charlie told me to go hide in the other room and not come out untill he was ready(do do do do do....5min later). He says ok come on out! What was it?! A beach cruiser! Not just any beach cruiser but (this is real special ladies) a vintage one that he found at a yard sale (for 5 dollars)on one of his dirt bike trips with his buddies.





He kept it hid for 2 months! While hidding it he took it apart put new parts on it that needed to be replaced while keeping its vintage charm, took it to a paint shop and had it custom painted baby pink with a pearl finish! It's gorgeous girls! I couldn't even believe it! I've always wanted one. We love the beach and so it was a perfect fit. So much for no gift right?

What To Do With Those Vintage Frames? DIY!

Goodmorning!
Lately I've had this accumulation of vintage frames. Pretty as they are alone I thought I would make a few into a jewlery holder. It was really easy to do!



What you will need:
Frame(any size)
Chicken Wire
Staple Gun
Needle Nose Plyers
Wire Cutters

First measure your frame to fit the chicken wire. Staple chicken wire to back of frame. Cut any extra chicken wire off. Hammer down any edges of chicken wire and your done! See that was easy :0) You can hang your gorgeous jewlery on it or even hang post cards or put your pictures in it. Happy Sunday!

Just Something To Smile About... :0)

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

DIY Fancy Smancy Burlap Chairs!

Recently I posted a few pictures of this table at our Second Saturdays in Folsom but I didn't really get to show it. This was a fun project for me and I'm sure it will be for you too!

This table I've changed multiple times and never happy with what I did. Finally I just went to a simple white. I found the chairs at Alameda in the back of a truck that said "free stuff".Cant get any better! I also painted them white. They matched the table perfectly! Match made in heaven.. :0)



I love the look of burlap so I decided to cover the seats in burlap to give the dinning set a rustic look. I wanted to make it a little more fancy, so I numbered each of the seats 1-4.
