It’s a piece of cake

Nothing says I love you like a homemade birthday cake.

Spray Paint Bottles

Whoever thought glass bottles could be little craft gems just wanting to be spray painted. If any of you know of other crafty ways to use recycled bottles, throw your ideas this way please!

Someones trash, my treasure

Right now my husband and I are on a really tight budget with our expenses so I have to be as creative as possible for home decor. Eating on the couch while watching television wasn’t my cup of tea. So I looked around a few thrift stores and garage sales to see if I could find anything and thankfully I found something perfect for my little home. I bought this wooden antique dining table and chairs at a local thrift store in Homestead. It was old and beat up, but I knew it had potential. Since my walls are white, I decided to paint everything a dark oak brown so the table would pop in the dining room area. My total expense on this project was less than $140, you can’t go wrong with that.

Marriage is the best thing that’s happened to me. What people might say is a burden, responsibility, bills… I call it living. We’re pretty easy going people so we did our best not to be overwhelmed with all the planning since we had a short engagement. In the end, everything worked out and it was a dream for both of us. And having our families and friends together celebrating our marriage was very special.

So I’ll be sharing good things in my regular, college student, married life and some forks on the road.
