I busted my butt this weekend while my fiance was on a fishing trip. When we bought the house it had this awful wood paneling. So I painted over that (we are redoing the rooms in a few years, so it's a quick temporary fix), painted two tables, bought all my decorations, did some crafts (for the decorations), slip covered one couch, got new pillows, etc, etc. I was SO tired by the time he got home, but he loved the suprise (he didn't know I was doing it. So enjoy the before and after!

haha, can i just come to Alaska?
To be perfectly honest, my fiance is the one who wanted orange. We got two samples and put them on the wall and we both decided on this color months ago! Then I went to Hobby Lobby to look for the decorations and left 45 minutes later, really frustrated with nothing. My future mother-in-law went back with me and we spent 3 HOURS there picking stuff out. She gave me some really great direction and suggestions and really gave me good pointers. I am flipping out over how happy I am about some of my pieces. I got these super cute elephants you can't really see. just little tiny touches that I never would have picked out myself but with someone guiding me, I was able to pick out stuff I loved.
I didn't get that female gene that gives you natural grace, decorating and fashion skills.

Well, I'm missing the give- a- crap gene, the one that gives you a reason to redecorate. Maybe once we get our house built, and move into it..... maybe then I'll martha stewart around too. Anyhow, it looks awesome.

And yes, you can just come to Alaska. A whole state missing that particular grace and fashion gene. and some other genes too you'll be just fine.
