I cannot believe where the year has gone! I started this blog with the intention of filling everyone in on all my wedding planning and new adventures up until the big day and found out between all the DIY projects I did for the wedding, working at a bridal salon, working horses part time and moving into a new house.....THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TIME FOR BLOGGING....OR HAVING A LIFE. My life was pretty much eat, sleep (poorly), work, plan....repeat.
So rather than going on and on about the whole summer and boring you to death by putting it in one long blog, I'll make it simple....
WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY(ONE MONTH BEFORE THE WEDDING) !!!
and
I'M NOW A MRS!!!!
(and I didn't
So, now that I will actually have some time on my hands, I'll see about sharing some of the wedding projects I did for the wedding while I'm waiting for the "big" wedding photo reveal! (I do believe I'm just as excited about seeing our photo's as I was for the big day!)
Also, I FINALLY have time to start decorating our home and doing all the DIY projects I've had on the back burner. Today I got to do my first one and I'm really excited that it turned out!
When we moved into our home, the old lady that lived here left us a wooden cabinet that she personally made. It's been holding an assortment of random pieces that were unpacked and stored for lack of a better place to put things. It's really a neat piece but it definitely needed some updating. I'm still thinking about staining or painting it but even my husband thinks it looks much better.
After about an hour at JoAnn Fabrics picking out just the right shade of green fabric with just the right pattern, cardboard and $14.00 later, I was determined to tackle this project today. No more excuses. Including, putting off cleaning the bathroom. Sorry husband.
It's a time consuming but easy DIY!
A) Measure the shelf openings
B) Cut cardboard to size
C) Cut fabric
D) Wrap fabric around cardboard, pull tight and glue
E) Insert finished backdrop into shelves
