While my husband is away I will.....organize and decorate! :)

I have been on a little kick lately about decorating our house and making it more a home. I have found and decided on a couple of projects to begin with. 


Home Improvement List:
--Make an 'I love you because' board (check)
--Set up our new table by the front door! (check)
--Refinish our china hutch & try to make it not so hideous 
--Diy pallet shelving 
--And last but not least: decorate, decorate, decorate!


I order some cute country home decor for cheap from hobbylobby.com and can't wait for it to get here. I also have custom vinyl lettering on the way. I am obsessed with canvas paintings but didn't really like the idea of spending 50+ dollars on one canvas. I did my research and couldn't decide if I wanted to make one myself or what...then I discovered something brilliant! Faux canvas': they look like the real thing but they are about 1/2 the price! Needless to say I am excited to order a 16x20 for our dining room :)  But since I have a coupon for $10 off one I might need to get two just for good measure. I will post pictures of everything after it is all done; I am hoping to get this all done before I leave for my trip to South Carolina on the 20th! (I'm sure I will be able to with help from my lovely sisters) 

I miss my husband a ton and this is one way I enjoy staying busy while he is finishing up basic! I can't wait to see the end results! :)
