Okay so, Im done writing posts like the last one. Well, at least I hope I am.

Hi, I'm Jesi and I am a recovering "half is half empty" girl. I fell off the wagon lastnight but Im scrambling back on.

I get really into projects, like my wedding and etc.
This time its obviously making our new place look as nice as possible.

I had to convince myself last night that I can only do smuch,

without actually standing in the rooms.

Our move in date is not till February 1st.

I figured for now I can just post inspirations and pretty pictures
DIY furniture revamping, decor and so on.

SO THAT, will be the point of this blog.

For example: this step ladder towel rack

I'm putting a mental post it on that because I am definately using this idea for our bathroom.
The toilet & the shower is in a seperate room (which I like)
but it needs a little something in there.

Also, it might be a good thing Nick and I will be on a tight budget.
It'll force me to take these projects slow

which I tend to have a hard time doing with anything I set my mind to.

On that note:My dad is giving us the green couch they have in the office.
Im happy about it because its incredibly comfortable.

I am not so thrilled that I dont get to go shopping for a couch lol

I also thought we'd have a neutral colored couch but hey,

Beggers shant be choosers!

Here is the color scheme for the living room,

I think adding some bright accent pillows on the dark green couch is just what it needs.

He's also giving me back my large study table.
That one Im also torn about.

Its got wonderful potential for our bedroom and it'll give me a place to study.
But I have the urge to revamp it-

but that would be a very difficult project considering the size and detail.

So, if I don't paint it, Im thinking of applying a decorative pattern to the backing of the exposed shelves. Much like this...

I want the bedroom to have a very light, feel. So I'm going with this color scheme:

YAY!

Living in color.

This is the perfect representation of the accent walls in the condo we liked.

Im loving the clean white furniture, Im just afraid of it getting dirty too quickly.

I'd really like to get a big white down comforter and a fluffy white rug for the bedroom-

but I think I'll have to go with the cream or beige option.

Bathroom color palette:

The colors are cool and perfect for the clean feeling a bathroom needs.

Kitchen color palette:

I mean, how cute is this?

Now the dining room, is a very small space & is just an extension from the kitchen.

Keeping things plain and simple will help us avoid the cluttered look.

I LOVE country style dining rooms.
Distressed wooden tables, mismatched chairs, etc.
I'd keep the colors, clean and neutral.

Lastly, the living room.

I was thinking, I'd play off of the warm tone of the copper wall.

And tie all the colors in from other rooms, since this is the most open room.

Everyone who knows me, knows I love fall colors.
(Hence- my wedding colors)

I'm also a huge on using warm colors for areas like the living room or the bedroom.

It's far more inviting and I can see myself sitting with a book on a big fluffy couch.

Now the one piece of furniture I KNOW I want in the living room is a...

drum roll please............

decorative chair!

A single chair in the room that creates a bold statement.
I have always, always, always wanted one.

"Come here, put your booty on me."
