Happy Living

Have you ever walked into your bedroom and thought, “This room is a mess” only to make the bed and realize that’s all it took to make your entire room look different? My point is that sometimes all it takes is the simplest touch to completely change the look of a room – a chandelier, an accent table, a fresh coat of paint, even a picture on the wall. Transforming a room doesn’t have to be difficult and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Let me explain.

I’m always gawking over different ways to display my photos. I have picture frames, canvases, digital frames, and even a metal photo canvas. This is the first time I’ve ever come across glass photos – yes, real glass.

Have you watched The Choice? It’s one of the most romantic movies that I’ve watched in quite awhile. It’s no surprise, though. I mean, it was written by Nicholas Sparks, the biggest hopeless romantic in the world. The movie takes place in the country, by a big beautiful lake. The homes in the movie have a very country feel to them. You’ll notice a beautiful wind chime in the movie. It’s made of sea shells and compliments the home well. As inspired by the film, I have a super fun wind chime tutorial for you. This one is made with sea glass, as you may have seen Travis fiddling with at some point in the film. I hope that you enjoy making your windchime just as much as I did.

What comes to mind when you think of Precious Moments? I automatically think of their trademark teardrop eyes. Maybe you’d look at this birdbath and wonder how it fits into the Precious Moments brand. It’s definitely a non-traditional figurine. Well, if you look very closely, you will see the sweet tear-shaped eyes on each little bird. It’s the little things that make Precious Moments a reliable and fun brand.

I’ve decided to completely redo my guest room. I want our guests to feel comfortable and excited when they stay at our house. I also want the experience to be memorable. If they don’t walk away thinking, “Wow! That room was like no other,” then we aren’t doing something right. I’ve always loved bright colors, but I’ve always settled for neutrals in my home. With my guest room, I decided to experiment with colors and I love how it turned out. Hopefully, I can give you some ideas!

Have you started the dreadful task of spring cleaning? I’ve started, but it still feels like I haven’t made any sort of impact. The most frustrating part of tackling my spring cleaning is working with products that don’t actually… work. I’m sure that we’ve all been there before. You get sucked into an infomercial, spend more than you’d like to admit, and then end of with a product that doesn’t magically make the mess disappear. It’s embarrassing, discouraging, and frankly, a waste of time.
