DIY Halloween Costume

This year is the first year in a long time that I've actually dressed up for halloween. We are allowed to wear costumes at my work for halloween, but last year I just wore a lame themed t-shirt, and the year before that I put on a cat ear headband and called it a day.

Well not this year! I actually put together a real costume, and I didn't pay one cent! I am a HUGE fan of The Big Bang Theory, and since my hair is dark right now, I though I'd dress up as one of my favorite characters from the show, Amy Farrah Fowler.

How to make curtains from a duvet cover

WOW! It's been a while since I've posted! Sorry about that folks, I've been busy! However, I've finally finished my bedroom curtains, so that's what I'm going to share with you today.

Since I had decided on my bedroom color, wayyyy before I even actually painted my walls, I started hunting for curtains. Originally I was going to sew them myself(there are a TON of great tutorials out there for curtains), but  all the fabric I liked was super expensive, and I still didn't LOVE any of them. I knew I wanted something with gray and yellow in it, but not too much gray, because the walls and rugs are already gray. I'd been thinking I wanted to tie in another accent color, like aqua, and then I saw this on target.com:

I knew I was set on having an all white comforter for the bed, but I LOVED the colors and patterns in this. I've seen people on pinterest using sheets for curtains(but then I'd still have to put a liner in), and a quick google search found that a duvet cover would work as well!

I sat on the idea for a few days, until I checked back and saw that it was on clearance for $23. SOLD!

Coral Dresser/TV Stand

I've finally got my TV console finished! I'm still waiting for the paint to fully cure(I used latex which can take 30 days to completely harden), which is why there is no TV on the TV console.

Sorry about the shadows... I need to invest in a "real" camera!
