High Hopes for New Home


We are planning to move in September, hopefully if all goes well into a house. It is very hard to find a house for rent and in our price range in Glendale, so we are branching out our places of interest to Peoria, Phoenix, Surprise, and where-ever. I think Stephen (hubby) is getting scared that we only have a month left until we move out of our apartment and that we are still looking. We have a few ones that we are interested in, however, the bad part is we don't have our loan money yet to pay for it, major bummer!

Tell me what your favorite do-it-yourself project was below in the comments.

I love hearing your ideas!

Here are some of my ideas for our next place raging rapidly through my
 mind:
Grosgrain: Tutorials 36- Tangled Rope Rug
bedrooms - David Hicks La Fiorentina Fabric Pillow kelly green nightstand choco1. Make a sailor-knotted rug like the one to the side. You can find the link on how to at grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com

2. Make a headboard, fabric or wood. But one that coordinates with bedroom colors like the turquoise one above.

3. Repaint our nightstands, maybe a bold color like the picture below.

4. Make more art, similar to a repeated pattern with bright colors (aqua,  yellow, red, green).

There are about a ton of more things that I would like to do. I think that this is a good start and I will let you know how things are going with them. With starting a new semester at ASU, you never know how it is going to go. And if you don't know yet I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Art Studies and starting my first studio class this semester. I am so super excited for it. Hopefully, we will find a place that we like and can make it more of our own.
