Projects, Projects, and MORE PROJECTS

So we've been in our house for 9 almost 10 months.  At first I didn't really have a vision for the place and was really just happy with how cute it was undecorated.  I think I was still getting use to being married, so I didn't have much time to think about how to make this place feel more like ours.  Tyler had done such an awesome job gutting the house and flipping it that I didn't really imagine much more for the place.

We've been doing small project here and there since Jan.  but lately we've taken on much bigger endeavors.  So here are just a few projects and I'll post more as they progress.

so this is our DIY headboard.  Its super easy, I got the idea from my dear friend Paula Coldiron.  She's a gem and has helped me with several ideas for our home.  So basically you need plywood, foam, batting, the fabric of your choice and a staple gun.

We were so proud and who knows, I may never buy a headboard again but always make my own.  Our bedroom is completely finished now.  So I will also post the transformation of the bedroom, soon

Life in the fast lane :)

So I have been horrible about this blogging thing.  Life has been busy busy.  We've had weddings galore, cookouts, showers, and bday parties every weekend.  SO...I am going to catch everyone up on all of our festivities this week I promise.  Now I am about to relax.  After pure barre, shopping, cleaning, laundry, and cooking all day,  IM WIPED OUT!!!!!

our honeymoon

I  was reading The Scoop Birmingham and they were doing a special on "Alys and Wonderland"  I was immediately intrigued because this is where Tyler took me on our honeymoon.  Alys Beach is heaven on earth.  People were surprised when we didn't travel to some tropical isle.  But this trip was so perfect and laid back.  If youve never been there you are missing out I tell you.  here are some pics of this dreamy place

this is the view as you drive in

a perfect view of beach we laid out on every day

So here we go :)

I've started a blog ha ha.  Not really sure what in the world I am doing.   But, I figure hey why in the world not.  So I choose the title "This Old House"  I thought it was appropriate since I am in the process of decorating our new home, which is actually an old home.  It was built in the 50's and it is quite lovely.  Although it wasn't so lovely when my hubby bought it.  HE has done an amazing job remodeling it.  I am just in charge of making it look like a home.  So, with the help of my fabulous friend Paula Coldiron and stealing ideas from other bloggers :) I am going to turn "This Old House" into OUR HOME!  I will post before an after pics of what we have done so far.  But right now I have to figure out how to do so...ha ha!
