Fabric As Wallpaper & More

I am obsessing over fabric used on walls, as backdrops in bookcases and hung as art! Sooner or later I know I will sell my home and move to an apartment! I don't want to do a lot of painting so I know fabric will come in handy.

I am going to challenge myself to use fabric on the walls in my apartment! I also found a post on Little Green Notebook about fabric used in the back of kitchen cabinets! You can check out the whole blog post {HERE}

I look forward to attempting this!! Should be fun. :) Anyone have any suggestions on a great place to buy fabric???

It's Official {well almost}

Yesterday morning my husband Cody & I went to the Air Force Recruiting office and signed him up. It will take a month or so to get him through his "test" and physical. As long as that all goes well, things will move forward. We had planned on waiting longer to have him sign up. We wanted to wait to the house was sold. We had the house under contract, but the buyer backed out. She had a house inspection done by a "contractor" not a licensed house inspector!!! So, of course he said all this crazy stuff about our house and scared her away. He completely ruined it for us!!! My husband & I about lost our minds when we read the ghetto house inspection he wrote up on his cheap ass letterhead!!!

After this happened Strawberry Rum came into my life! Its really good with Sprite. :) I am not a big drinker, but sometimes it does help you relax...


The Air Force feels like a savior to me! Sadly like many people right now, we are out of money. My husband lost his unemployment because his company keeps "fighting" us. We are praying that we won't have to pay it back. We don't have the money anymore to keep up with our life expensives. :( When you lose over half your income over night, it kinda leaves you short on funds. If someone would just buy our house we would be okay!!!!! My husband & I get through the hard days, because we know our future will be brighter.

If I had a new home to decorate and paint right now....

BlOG LOVE

Girl Whimsy is a great blog featuring vintage design, fashion, home decor and just lots of lovely images!!! I love Debbie's blog! Here are some photos from her blog that I love....

TV Stand / IKEA

I want this TV Stand. I love the BESTA Collection from IKEA! I like simple TV units, not huge ones that take up your whole living room!



I plan to start with the unit ABOVE, and add on to it like the picture BELOW



I also have decided NOT to purchase DVD's anymore. They take up so much space! My husband and I have Netflix now and love it. I will only buy a movie from now on if I know I am going to watch it over and over! { Harry Potter & Twilight }

New Yellow Vase

I bought a new vase from Crate & Barrel. I love yellow right now!

Muffins get a haircut {finally}

We finally gave Muffin a haircut! My husband did most of the work while I stood close by to comfort her. She hates being groomed and will bite strangers who try to cut her hair! So, we do it...


With a new haircut, comes a new dress...


Muffin loves wearing clothes and loves riding in the car...


I am still cutting her hair a little bit each day. She hates it, so its a long process! lol

Sending LOVE to Peggy

I am sending Peggy from Creative Influences my "Love" print I designed. I decided she needed more then a few colors to pick from! They are all so pretty! I hope she enjoys them! :) Peggy sent me some lovely white vases from her personal collection! Thanks Peggy!

*Fingers Crossed*

We got our first offer on the house yesterday!!!! We will be signing the paper work to accept it tonight or tomorrow. We are excited but nervous at the same time. We just hope they don't back out on us. My husband and I spent the day looking at apartments. It is so hard trying to decide on one! Some are so pricey for very little space. We have one we feel good about. It is close to my work and has most everything we need and want. Just gotta hope that everything works out!!!!! I really have to get rid of MORE furniture. We have a certain price range we are trying to stay within and that means little living space. Which means Jessie has to throw more stuff away. :(
