Funny Friday

So I have been on vacation for a whole week now and have managed to do absolutely nothing.

It's been awesome.

I had planned on writing a whole bunch of blogs and saving them in my queue but that hasn't happened.

So I have this for your reading pleasure...it has some pretty hilarious facts. That's right, facts!

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Wedding Garage Sale

I'm finally selling leftover wedding stuff. {tear} I was going to post the list on this blog, but decided that I didn't want random buyers from weddingbee following my personal blog.

Otherwise, we will now resume our regularly scheduled program.

I need a haircut!

First things first…

{Can I get an amen?}

In recent years I can blame this person for my hair dreams...

I always have to remind myself that she HAS PEOPLE. 

She doesn't create that masterpiece on a daily basis. 

BTW my hair would NEVER look like that, it has absolutely no body which is a total rip off because my mom has super curly hair. My little sister is the only offspring lucky enough to be graced with at least a little bit of a cute wave...unless you count my brother’s curly eyebrows. I’m not gonna lie- I’d rather get nada then have those things framing my eyeballs. On him it looks fine, on me- not so much.

OK back to the point of this post…

I have been going back and forth about cutting my hair off since the day after the wedding. I’ve been wanting to change things up a bit and have an actual style. I also wanted to give my neck some relief from this blazing hot summer. My mom always kindly reminds me that by having a “style” you will have to style it daily...which I can't really commit to since I like sleeping in every second possible. 

If I do decide to cut my hair I'd like a long bob. I know I'm late to jump on this trend but I still really like it and I feel like it's a classic look.

Here are a few styles I've been pinning

I'd also really love to ombre my hair, or do you say ombre style?

made famous by

Ombre and Bangs. Not that brave!

in my dreams

So what do think? Should I take a chance with the long bob?
Should I do the Ombre?
 Which picture do you think I should show my stylist?

What first?

I have so many things that I want to blog about that I'm just not sure where to start.  

So I will leave you with this little nugget to make you smile while I get my act together...

Room Redo: Guest Room to Studio

I'm taking vacation at the end of this month and am planning on converting our Guest Room to my Studio.

Studio = fancy pants name for Craft Room

The reason we decided (it was actually Chris's idea) to make the change is because I love crafting but don't do it as often as I would like. It's a pretty big pain to drag everything out from the Guest Bedroom closet, set it out on the Dining Room table, hopefully finish my project in one sitting, and then clean it all up when I'm done (instead of shutting the door behind me and leaving the clean up for the next day). Wouldn't that deter you from crafting too?

And for the record, don't be fooled into thinking that I keep everything put away nicely in the closet. Guests wouldn't even be able to stay in that room in the shape it's in right now. It's a craft explosion in there right now. I did clean it up from this disaster but it's on its way to looking like that again. 

Shameful, I know.

Anyway, I've been pinning a few things that I like for the room.

The current color scheme I think I'm leaning towards is teal, dark lime (similar to the cubes in the 

picture below), white, and yellow accents. 

I'm sure there are few naysayers of my color palette mixed but I can see the vision. Trust me.

See how it can come together in real life?

I need a pegboard to hold paint brushes, markers, ribbon, etc.

I can use a few leftover Mason Jars from the Wedding for this...maybe on the pegboard?

I LOVE this giant "Inspiration" board. 

Chalkboard, Pegboard, Cork board, Dry Erase board all-in-one!

I'll definitely be needing one of these from IKEA for more storage.

I also want to try to either make Chevron curtains or canvases. I don't really want to do anything too permanent with Chevrons like painting the wall since they are pretty hot trend right now and I'm not sure how long I'm going to like it. 

I love chevrons...

more chevrons

I'd also like to try to paint upholstery and up-cycle a chair from Craigslist like this:

seems risky

I'm pretty excited about the room makeover. 

Hopefully I can get it done all in one week. Fingers crossed!

So, what do you think? Love or hate the colors?

Any other ideas for clever storage? Or low budget decorations?

P.S.   Sherry- this one is for you.
