Bedroom Makeover

So i finally did it. It took a few days and a little bit of convincing to get funding for the project from my husband, but i'm sure now he is very happy with the investment ;) What started out as a disorganized cluttered bedroom with the only furniture being a bed and a bedside table has now transformed into a peaceful place to look forward to going to at the end of the day. The new furniture we got on craigslist. It's a beautiful 5 piece wood set with 2 nightstands, a dresser, lingerie dresser, and a bed. We opted not to use the wood bed because i preferred the look of the wrought iron bed and it matches the handles on the drawers nicely. Not to mention many of my accent's such as curtain rods and lamps will be wrought iron. On the walls i used pebble stone by Behr. The bed set is one i had already purchased a while ago by Martha Stewart. This bed set is amazing because it came with all of the decorative pillows as well as curtains. I used the curtains which are very light and sheer and i decided not to use the valance that came with them. I like the simpler look. In the future i plan on getting large white lamps for the nightstands and a white rug for the floor. We also plan on putting a TV on the wall above the dresser, in the not so near future :)

Halloween Time

I love Halloween, what's not to love? The candy, the costumes, jack-o-lantern's, pumpkin patches... The list goes on and on. We had a great Halloween. We went to a Halloween party on the 30th. Kyle and 2 of his friends dressed up as the guys in the Beastie Boys Sabotage video, and i was a schoolgirl of some sort...

On the 31'st we hit up the pumpkin patch for our annual pumpkin carving extravaganza, made some chicken tortilla soup in the crock pot and had friends over for trick or treating with the kids at our neighborhood block-party. And we finished off the holiday with pumpkin spice pancakes this Morning. I will be posting the recipe for that on here soon, they are for sure going to be a christmas or thanksgiving morning tradition in our house from now on, they are delish and they hold you over for dinner... Alright time for me to get ready for work and figure out how to get rid of all of the left over halloween candy before i eat it all...

To the upper left you'll see all of the fantastic jack-o-lanterns we had on display on our front porch.
