Itchy Itchy Scratch Scratch


I have an itch.  Its taking all my patience to not post pictures of our home. I don’t think we ever updated you all on what happened with our housing situation..? Maybe, maybe not. But we were trying to get into a condo and ended up not getting into it and so we are currently just renting out an apartment. Which is totally fine since we have some awesome friends in the ward.. even though they serve us meatless ribs :) ha ha love you guys! Anyways. So since we didn’t get into the condo that we were so hoping for, we were bummed and decided to put some money towards the apartment we're in so we redecorated the place. We redecorated quite a while ago, like a couple months ago, but I haven’t been able to post pictures because there are just a couple things I want to finish before I take the final pictures. And its driving me INSANE! I want to just finish it already. All the big furniture pieces are taken care of but I just have the little details to finish, which personally, I think make all the difference. For example, I want to sew some pillow covers (but don’t have a sewing machine), put another frame on the wall (too lazy to drive out to IKEA), make our headboard (don’t own a saw or a truck), and I want to paint a canvas picture for our bedroom wall. I realized that I LOVE to paint. We have had several intense games of Liars Dice played at our house the last few weeks and it has taken its toll on our coffee table. I had to repaint it and I realized how much I like to paint. I think I could probably paint our coffee table every week and be happy. Here's a few pictures of my current design inspiration:


 Okay, take a guess as to what those squares in that last picture are made out of. 

They look like iron right?

Nope, they are made out of toilet paper rolls!! crazy huh? My jaw literally dropped to the floor when I read that. The designer in me wants to make some but I don't think we have any wall space for them to take up.
Welp, stay tuned for pictures posted.. hopefully sooner rather than later!
