What's Goin On

Whew!! It's been a while since i've posted, and its due to the fact the i've been soooooo busy on the homefront. Our little "spruce up" project in the bathroom has now become more of a full renovationt than we originally imagined.  You know how it goes.  "Well if we're going to paint that, then we need to fix this too" or "well if we're going to upgrade that we need to change out these to match" so it took a total of 3 weekends (including one 3 day weekend) to finish our tiny bathroom plus the entire month before that to re-vamp the lighting but it's finally time to paint cans away and pull off all the tape! Ahhhhhhh...such a good feeling.  We still have some other sprucing up we want to do but I feel like taking a little break in between is just what the doctor ordered.  Brock's been putting in soooo many extra hours at work and all my free time is either spent at the gym or doing laundry/other home chores.  We need som R&R and a little pasta in our lives :)  I don't have any pictures of our bathroom, but this one is kind of close and it has the same colors that we just painted.  We're going for the beige-y walls with white trim look.  Very simple, clean, and calming...yes!!


Another part of our "bedroom rehab" home game we've been playing has to do with our bed.  As most young couples i'm sure have the same scenario, your first bed usually isn't just your bed.  It belonged to your siblings before you or a family member, or your roommate left it behind and it's bigger than your bed so you snagged it type situation.  Well our bed was Brock's bed is no different and we aren't the first owner. When we moved out on our own, I had a full sized bed at my parents house, and he had a queen sized bed at his house, so obviously we chose the bigger mattress to bring with us to our apartment.  Well now it's pretty much as dead as it could be and it's been giving both of us back problems for a while.  So recently we did a little online research, did a little in-store shopping, and found ourselves a super comfy KING size bed that's brand new and all ours! YAY! we're growing up :) It got delivered last week and it's super comfy.

We also just found our bedding set for our new bed which was harder to pick than I thought.  We both have similar styles but different opinions on what looks good.  Even though none of my picks had flowers or were hot pink, Brock still didn't appreciate my "girly" picks.  What else am I supposed to pick??? The dirt colored one that has a picture of a deer on it?? Ugh...watever.. but we found one that we like AND we found it on Ebay for WAYYYY cheaper!! It reatiled for $450 and we got it for around $150 :)  Here's what it looks like:


It's a 24 piece set and even includes window treatments. SCORE!! Operation: Growing Up/Nesting is finally coming along....and it feels great!! Hopefully everything looks as good put together as it does in my head (and in this picture) How sweet it is!   The only problem so far is that we have our mattress that has a pillowtop on it, plus we have a mattress protector that also has a little padding on top so our deep pocket sheets don't totally fit over all the extra padding.  I'm trying to find some sheet straps to help out but no luck so far on ones that I like.  Looks like im going to have to get crafty on this one....oh yea!!!

Happy hump day! Share the love ;-)
