Well, my nightstands are finally done.

Give me a what what!

Not going to lie, I kind of like them.

The process was pretty simple, just time consuming.

Thank goodness for the tutorial from Nancy and inspiration from Centsational girl, I really just followed their lead.

Here is how it went down:

1. Prime and paint the bases. 

2. Enlarge a picture of the Dorothy Draper drawer detail and print it out.

3. Make a stencil.

4. Paint!

Go here for a more detailed tutorial.

When I pulled off the stencil there was quite a bit of bleeding, so I ended up going back in with a small paint brush and touching them up.

It took forever and they are not perfect, but I think they look pretty good.

Also, did you notice my new pillows?

$19.99 from Target!

I still haven’t decided if they will stay in my bedroom or not, but I like them there for now.

Oh, and I am still planning on re-doing the headboard.

I just decided not to sell my original headboard until I am ready to get-er-done, hopefully this weekend.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to get your Dorothy Draper on?

 Lonny Magazine continually impresses me.

This sneak peak of the March/April issue gets me so excited.

I just want to see more!

Also, I finally finished one of my side tables…this DIY project is definitely testing my patience. 

Luckily it is turning out great, sure makes it worth the pain!

Yesterday was a big day for my little old blog, I finally reached 1000 official followers!

Even though not everyone that reads my blog is an official follower, reaching 1000 on Google friend connect was a big thing for me.

Why is it so rewarding to see that number get bigger and bigger?

I even took a screen shot of it…

Yes, I am a dork.

It is so fun watching this blog slowly grow, it almost feels like my second child.

Thanks to everyone that sticks around, I sure do appreciate it!

I also started a project yesterday.

I kinda feel like I have been in a DIY rut lately and it felt so good to get back at it.

Remember Nancy’s amazing DIY Dorothy Draper rast hack?

And Centsational Girl’s Dorothy Draper knock off makeover?

Well, I combined the two and made my own!

Here is a sneak peek…

I have been wanting to make A DIY Dorothy Draper chest f-o-r-e-v-e-r, so I finally bit the bullet and got started!

It is taking a little longer than expected ( I still have 5 out the 6 drawers left to paint) but I hope to have them finished soon and I will share all the details!

Yay for a good day 🙂

As you all know, I am a big fan of the Urban Outfitters Zigzag rugs.

The print is awesome and the price is even better!

And if you haven’t seen the new colors they added, you must check them out…

Awesome huh?

And $79.00 for a 5×7, not too shabby!

These rugs are not the best quality but sure add a big bang for their buck. I think they would work perfect in a low traffic area, like a nursery or master bedroom.

Also, West Elm has also added a new colorway to two of my favorite rugs, grey!

The neutral color and graphic pattern is like perfection in my mind, and sure makes it easy to design a room around.

They also added this lattice rug, I love the deep charcoal color.

It really is amazing how excited a new color will get me.

Maybe I need to get out more…
