Happy Memorial Day!!

Hey! Hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. This is a picture of my father when he went into the Marines. My parents met while they were both serving our country. During times like these, I am especially proud of all my family, as well as everyone else, who has served our country proudly. I truly believe it is because of them we have our freedom today. To everyone who has ever served or is serving now, you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless to all!

Drop your Drawers Here!!

Oh lovely laundry rooms! You are just so sweet.
You actually make me want to spend more time
doing my laundry... well almost! Like most people
I spend a large majority
of my time doing the
laundry. It just
accumulates so
quickly! And then
the dryer eats your
socks, which is so
not cool. I have
recently decided that
I need to make my
laundry room a more
fun place to work. The only problem is that I am
trying to do it on a very tight (and I mean, tight budget.)
I want it to look good, but don't have the means
to spend lots of money. I love the pink laundry
room above. It is so cute and compact. My laundry
room is pretty tiny, which is good for the
budget, but not storage. Somehow, it seems to still
be missing a little something. The wallpaper in this next
laundry room is so unexpected.

It really brings a little
something extra. However,
I have no experience in
wallpapering and don't
really think I want to spend
the time or the money on a
room that only I use. I do
wish that my room was big
enough to have a cabinet for
folding clothes with storage
underneath like this room though.
What a blessing it must be to have such a large room!

Some people want bigger living rooms and bedrooms,

but not me! Bring on the huge laundry! I would

love the room below as

well. I love the aqua tones

and all of the storage

options. I am hoping to

get some decorating

started this weekend after

helping some of my friends

move into their new home!

Seeing new people's houses always makes me more

motivated to finish decorating mine, especially when

they are further along in the process than I am. I like

an eclectic mix of items in my house and I am cheap, ummm...

I mean thrifty, so it takes me forever to find items that

I love. Hopefully some new pics of the updated laundry soon!

The Four R's : )

I so admire people who take so much time to work on their blogs. You never realize how much work it is until you decide to try and start one up yourself. If you are like me, you have these huge plans, but then life happens and your blog is the last thing on your mind. Anyways, wedding are definitely on my mind these days. My little sis is engaged and we are working on planning her wedding. Through our many searches, I came across these beautiful and amazing bouquets made from old brooches!

They are simply to die for. I heart them so much! I want one for myself! I showed them to my friends and they fell in love as well. We now want to make a bouquet and share it for all of our weddings, and just add certain pins that have special meaning for each bride. The designers at Fantasy Floral Designs (http://www.fantasyfloraldesigns.com/), are so talented! I don't know who came up with the idea, but I am so grateful! I try to live my life with the model of reduce, reuse, recycle and rebeautify and this is a wonderful example of all of these things.
