Fall y'all

I love fall. I loved going back to school as a kid. Shopping for school supplies, being with my friends again, I loved learning and reading. Fall came a little early at our house. I am just SO ready for boots, scarves, sweaters, hot chocolate, pumpkins... It has been such a long summer. I'm ready for a change :)



Made a new wreath today. TOTAL experiment. Turned out pretty good!

my DIY hacks

Pinterest. It took me a while to really figure out how it works. You see, I kept pinning pins solely from Pinterest, and I kept wondering what the point was because I had all the same ideas/pins as my friends. So instead I started visiting blogs, peoples webpages, taking pictures of things I see in stores and putting them on my Pinterest so I can remember them. There are so many amazing ideas and creations out there in the internet world that aren't on Pinterest. Go find them!! Then pin them to your boards so you can remember them later. One day I actually went through all my pinterest boards and de-junked all the useless pins I know I will never use. Some of them seemed like such a great idea at the time....Here are a few of my pins I actually put to use.

When I re-did my bathroom I had to take down my cute his/hers shower hooks Bryanna Peterson gave me for my wedding. It was a sad day. I knew I needed to use them somehow. They are too cute to not be hanging somewhere! I bought these 3 cute flower drawer knobs at Tai Pan Trading in the states. I think they were $3.00 each.

We desperately needed somewhere to hang our coats, hoodies, purses etc. So voila! Way cuter in person
