If there’s one thing that I’ve realized as I’ve been re-decorating the apartment, it’s that the right kind of lighting makes all the difference. Sure, you can make a room look better by hanging some art on the wall, adding new curtain or new bed spread…but without the right kind of lights none of those things will make the kind of impression they should. Love this one for a little girls room! It’s especially important to utilize windows for bringing {Read More}

Hi! If you are just joining in on the fun, you can see my before pictures for this project HERE. Overall I feel my $100 bedroom makeover went extremely well!

The night stand in the evening. Isn’t the orchid pretty? I love the personality it {Read More}

Home Decorating: The $100 Bedroom Makeover – Before Pictures

February 27, 2011 By Haley 2 Comments

My mom was super sweet and gave me her fancy four poster bed and armoire since she recently got new furniture for her bedroom. But after we got the bedroom furniture in my apartment I found myself at a total loss as far as how I should decorate the room. So I left it bare for a bit and reflected on what I really wanted my bedroom to look like. These are the before photos of my plain jane bedroom. {Read More}

Overhaul

September 10, 2009 By Haley 3 Comments

There is something about the change of seasons that sends me into overdrive. I’m an emotional mess. One day I’m higher than a kite and the next I don’t even want to get out of bed or comb my hair. I make it through though, moment by moment.I’m trying and there’s a lot to be said for that. Things will turn out ok if I just keep trying.It’s good to have a mantra I think. Today I will try to {Read More}

Time sure is slippery

March 31, 2009 By Haley 3 Comments

For some reason it’s been sliding through my fingers lately at an alarming pace! March ends today people! I realize that discussing the lightning fast passing of time is a regular occurrence here on my blog, but I think that is so because I never seem to adjust to it. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, because even though I have been staying on top of things better than usual lately, at the end of the day I’ll think of all I’ve {Read More}

Why Blogging Saved my Life

March 5, 2009 By Haley 6 Comments

So I know it must sound a little dramatic…almost like something from a cheap grocery store tabloid… “BLOGGING SAVED MY LIFE!!” I can just see it now plastered across the front page of The National Inquirer. But seriously, I feel like that in a way it has genuinely helped me away from something that held me captive for almost 2 months. First off I will say that this is a bit more serious than my normal posts, and parts of {Read More}

Let’s talk furniture

December 6, 2008 By Haley 1 Comment

You may or may not know that I have been browsing the net for awhile looking for new furniture, because goodness knows we need it! I dream of the day when can not only afford fancy furniture, but when we have a house it will actually fit in! (It’s not far off, Dave is almost finished with Grad School, Yay!) So when the nice people over at Lombok asked if I would review their site, I jumped at the chance! {Read More}
