I Need Freak Out Control

For this chair.

This bed.

And these lips.

I think I will finally be able to start decorating in 2 months and I can't wait! Eeeeeeek!

Valentine's Day Bridal Shower

A dear friend of mine is getting married in just a few weeks to her love. (Brandy was my first roommate!) I wanted to throw her a "friends" shower and it just happened to be Valentine's weekend, so that was the theme! I could not have done this without the help of my talented Mom. I wish I was as creative as her! Here are a few pictures of the shower.

My mom's good friend Bobbie made this Love Shack out of a Victoria's Secret bag! Again, I wish I was this creative!

Cake Dots from Sugar! These are so good. Really, really good. This is also where Brandy's wedding cake is coming from. I can't wait to see it! And taste it!

I wasn't planning on buying a cake for the shower, but I found this the morning of at Target for $5. Yep, an adorable valentines cake for $5. Sadly, there was way more food than guests and we never got to try this. (RSVP people!!!) But I did send it home with the bride-to-be.

Cupcakes!
Chocolate covered strawberries!

This is a close up of the banner my mom made. It turned out so cute. I know she spent a lot of time on it. Thanks again for your help Mom!

I hope Brandy enjoys these last few weeks up to her wedding!

Thank You Klippan

Wow! What a weekend it has been. And it's been forever since I've posted on this thing. But anywho........Zac and I are still trying to sell our house and find a new one. Let me just say that getting your house ready to sell is so much work! Blah! We have had it on the market since November and did a lot of work to get it ready. But our furniture didn't match and our living room setup was pretty bad. So, this past weekend Zac and I decided to take a last minute trip to IKEA for some new furniture. IKEA is so great, especially if you're on a budget. Luckily, we get to go back next weekend when we visit my brother and sis-in-law in Houston! :) Can't wait!!!

Here is a pic of our living room before....

I hate the brown curtains. I hate how our furniture doesn't match. Both pieces are comfy though. And I hate how the maroon loveseat blocks the fireplace.

Here are a few after pictures.

So it still may not be perfect, but I promise it looks a million times better! And ignore the pupper crate in the pictures. It could still use some improvements but hopefully this will be more appealing to buyers! The living room definitely flows better. I'm very proud of all the work we've accomplished this past weekend!

Here are just a couple more pics of our past weekend.

Mr. Uncle Rudy

Little Scully Bug Baby Tobias My new wine glass from Cloverleaf in Ardmore. Love the clearance section! And love the store!

I seriously could spend way too much time in this store. My mom took me to the one in OKC on my birthday a few weeks ago and Zac let me run in on the way home from Texas on Saturday! Love it!

I hope everyone stays safe and warm with the upcoming weather!

I've been dreaming.....

Lately my conversations with Zac consist mostly of our next home. We're both really anxious to move into a newer home and start decorating! (Okay, maybe just me) We can't decide if we want to hire an architect and build a house, buy an older home and renovate, buy a brand new house......ahhhh what to do! Regardless of our next move I've been dreaming of stuff to put in our house. :)

I blame this on my mom but for the longest time I've wanted a modern AND retro kitchen. I would LOVE to have this fridge!

And this stove.........


And they have a matching dishwasher. Love the red!
I love this table from CB2.


This grellow dresser would look awesome in our future bedroom! Okay, so we already have a yellow dresser in our bedroom so maybe this one could go in our guest bedroom.


And at last I love this bed.

Dancy Friday

I am off work every other Friday and somehow I end up spending a majority of my day listening to 80's music. I LOVE 80's music. I never get tired of listening to it. Plus it's the best dance music. I've always wanted to open up an 80's bar/club. Maybe it will happen one day! I think it would be way more fun than making maps. Here are a few of my favorite 80's songs. This first song was recently put on repeat at my friends surprise birthday party. It was a good night.



This next song really gets my shoulders moving. I don't know how you could hear this song and not dance. Even if it's just shoulder dancing. (which i'm doing right now) Ignore the actual video........not very good, but it's all I could find.




The next song just makes me happy. And it was on Family Guy. And there is awesome dancing.



This song was on one of my previous posts, but I love it too much. Again, awesome dancing.



Okay, this is the last song I am posting. I promise. I could keep going, but this would be a forever long post. Have a good holiday weekend everyone and hooray for football being back (And pumpkin spice lattes @ Starbucks)! Let Fall begin! Loves.

Let's Dance

so i was hoping i wouldn't go this long without updating but that is life and it's been super crazy lately. i thought after i graduated from OU that i would have all the time in the world to do everything i wanted but that is definitely not happening! i've had so many projects planned that i want to start but it seems like i never have time! work consumes most of my time but one day that will change. one project that i have actually started (but is still not done) is the painting. here are a few sneak peeks, but just know that the pictures aren't the best and touch ups are still on their way. ta-da! black and white stripes. we love them. one important fact that zac and i have learned since we started painting is that we are not good painters. our floors are covered in paint because we are so messy and that is even with drop cloths. oh well! we're getting new floors eventually. =)

so one of the next major things we are going to do is buy new furniture and things to make our place look pretty. here are some couches we are looking at.......we both love this blue one. we really want to get a sectional so we can have more seating, however, we want to add the chaise to the sectional but we dont think' the measurements will work. i also love this red and white striped chair! i think i'll take two please.

another thing that zac and i are planning to do is move our tv to a different wall. the living room will flow a lot better (i think) once it's on the other wall. we're moving it to the "accent" wall. we painted it bright yellow. i think the tv will look good against the bright yellow wall with either a zebra or gazelle on each side. what do you think? zebra or gazelle!?

well it's my bedtime! im going to finish watching my episode of ghost adventures and call it a night. and in honor of tomorrow being the start of the weekend i will leave you with this music video. (and you might want to go watch labyrinth now) please click here ---> let's dance. hope this gets you ready for the weekend!
