DIY Mini Copper Planters by Poppytalk!

On Monday Poppytalk posted a simple tutorial for DIY mini copper planters.
I immediatly fell in love.

With the seasons changing and winter quickly approaching, I like to add additional live plants around the house to add a little greenery.
I think these would look great on a bookshelf, desk, console, or even a kitchen and bathroom counter.

These mini planters will work perfectly in my condo considering my lack of space and are also irresistibly adorable, don’t you think? 
I am hoping to make a few of these very soon.
Head over here to get the full tutorial!

Mid-century Modern Home Tour!

My in-laws recently bought a home built in the 50’s.
It hasn’t been touched since and is packed full of the original lighting, flooring, and appliances…how cool.
They plan on adding some updates to the home, but staying true to it’s mid-century modern style.
I must admit, I am a little jealous. 
I just love the clean lines and classic furniture pieces mid-century modern offers.
I thought this home tour on apartment therapy was fun, even if you don’t have a home built in the 50’s, the proper use of furniture and wall color can transform most homes into a sleek mid-century gem.

I’m thinking it would be fun to decorate my next home/apartment in this style.
Would you ever decorate your home with mid-century modern pieces?

DIY $5.00 Large Scale Wall Photo

I love large scale photos, especially of children.
I was very excited when I stumbled across this $5.00 DIY large scale wall photo by Little Inspiration.
She discovered that Office Depot offers 24″x 48″ black and white prints for only $5.00.
Isn’t she so smart?

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but apparently you just have to ask for the Industrial Prints.
You just can’t beat $5.00!
I adore that picture of her daughter above her sofa, it is so sweet.
I’m definitely going to give this one a try!
Thanks Little Inspiration for this great and affordable DIY!

Pregnancy Update: A Heavy Mind

I can’t believe it, I am 22 weeks!
Although I want time to pass quickly, I am absolutely terrified for what the next two weeks may bring.
I am trying to focus on the positive and loving every kick and squirm that I feel on a regular basis. It is such an amazing feeling.
I had my 22 week check-up on Tuesday and got some not-so-great news.
My cervix has started to shorten a little, making my doctor a little concerned. As of now it is still long enough to be in the considered in the “safe zone” but it sure has me worried. I now go back weekly to have my cervix checked, if it continues to shorten they will have to stitch it closed, ugh.
We are exactly 2 weeks away from when I went into labour with my daughter Emory. My mind is heavy and I can’t seem to turn it off. It was such a nice treat to have my family here this week and take my mind off of worrying!
Thank you for being so patient with me, I know things have been awfully slow around here. I hope to get back to a daily blogging schedule soon and share some fun projects I have been working on!
Until then, my main goal is to keep this baby in 🙂
