F I N A L L Y. . .

I FINALLY finished the little room upstairs. After months and months. The framed prints were a long, drawn-out process in itself. Man, I can't believe that little projects take so long for me. Good thing I have a patient husband.


The opposite wall has a window and a black bookcase with some pictures. I would like to eventually get some curtains, but for now, the room is DONE!


Well, I talk about it like it's a chore, but I do really like to shop for homey decor. I'm kinda cheap though, so it takes a while to either make/find it at a good price. No, I didn't hand-stitch this bedding, but I did paint the mats attached to the prints (red) add the cream mat, and order a custom frame (thanks to Emily). Two sets of glass and a few trips to Hobby Lobby later, I'm happy to be done.

Sometimes I think that if I knew the time and effort that would be required for a project, I wouldn't start half the projects I do. Oh well!

  2. Oh my gosh--that is me to a tee! The littlest projects take me months. Finding something I like takes me forever and then I'm too cheap to spend the money on it! Never ending cycle.

    I really love the room. So symmetrical! Nice job!
