Fruition

i couldn't find any  'before' pics on my mac so just the 'after pics will have to do. 

i have been dying to fix up our heidous desk space for a while and finally, we did! I have designed this space multiple times and i am sure it will have further changes as time goes on but for now, i am thrilled!!

 The supports for the shelves are from ikea (2pk for $5) and i loved the pop of color they provided!!

 Thanks to my brother, i have the leg on the desk (kitchen countertop piece from home depot). The red was my idea. 

This is for my sisters in law, katie and maddie. They are wonderfully crafty and they make their homes adorable! I do not have that skill however i am practical and i had some paper so i recovered a cheerios box to hold papers on my new desk space. 

if you can't tell, red is my accent color (and latest obsession). 

happy friday!

Ikea Trip

 The whole time we were making our new bookshelf i was thinking "i should be taking pictures" but i was too absorbed with making sure everything went together perfectly so we could surprise daddy (something i never do and love doing!).

I haven't ever bought IKEA furniture before. It was fun, my four year old helped a ton and my 18 mo (not pictured) played around us. 

The box was super heavy and how i got it in the house is something i wish i had on video. Thanks to Caleb and 4 phases everything worked out just fine. 

Saturday brought happy changes

I have a ton of pictures from december to catch up on but saturday we made huge improvements to our house. I have been wanting them for quite a while. Next step is to decide what color to paint my family room. We were going to do blue but now we have a clear view of my red cabinets so that may change the plan.

 Hallway all along

 Now we have open space!!!

Looking into the family room. (yes, christmas is still up)

i can't wait to paint.
