Decisions! Decisions!

I am terrible at making decisions, especially when those decisions involve home decor. Steven and I have lived in our home for over a year now, and very few changes have been made to it since that first month! Walls? All unpainted. Furniture? Haven't bought any in months. Pinterest Projects? Pretty much non-exsistent. 

I know what I like but for some reason I always talk myself out of purchasing anything, so basically every room in our house is unfinished.

master bedroom: no paint color, no photos hung on the walls, and no furniture other than a small dresser and our bed.

Oh yeah, that big ugly thing on the wall is a gun rack. In our master bedroom! Go figure...

Anyways, there is something about being pregnant that makes you want to get 'er done. And for me, that means making some decisions around the home and getting this nest in order! Or, at least adding a touch of personality to our bland walls.

So, I am proud to announce today that I, Danielle, made a home decor decision. And, surprisingly, I feel quite good about it! I picked a headboard for our master bedroom.

That may seem insignificant to you, but to me this was a BIG deal! I made a decision! The photos don't do the headboard justice (or bedroom is dark and makes picture taking quiet a challenge), but it's a pool blue, velvet headboard and it makes me swoon. 

So while in decision making mode, Steven and I decided to go ahead and make another one. We are taking down the beautiful, Pinterest desk he made me and locating it. That way our office can become baby's new nursery, leaving us with a spare bedroom for guests.

Bye, bye pretty desk.

So where are we putting our new desk? It's actually going to go in our master bedroom as well. We have the oddest master bedroom with this weird nook that leads out into the backyard. The nook has a ceiling to floor built in bookcase and plenty of room for our Pinterest desk. 

Here's what our plan looks like.

I am so excited to finally get our master bedroom complete and then move on to even more exciting home projects (like the nursery)! But most of all, I'm just glad I made some darn decisions!!

Do you struggle with making decisions concerning the look of your home? Or do I suffer alone in this?

Repurposed TV Stand

Piece by piece, my living room is slowly coming together! 

Shortly after Steven and I moved in, my mother-in-law gave us a nightstand she picked up at a yard sale. Steven removed the top drawer, cut out a hole in the back for wires, and we have been using it as the TV stand in our living room.

When my mom came to town, we decided to give this old nightstand new life with a little paint job and distressing. We sanded it, applied three coats of paint, and then slightly distressed it.

I love the finished product! 

This new look is a much better fit for the overall feel I want for our living room! 

Now, if only we had a furnace in that fireplace...  :)

Dresser Revamp

Note to self: Next furniture revamp take "before" pictures. And take all photos while the project is still outside. 

Lesson learned.

Sorry, no before pictures of the dresser other than this one you've already seen. I didn't even think about pictures until the first coat of paint was on and drying! What sort of blogger am I? Good grief...

Also, these photos weren't taken until Steven and I moved the dresser inside.

We definitely don't have good lighting in our bedroom, so I was forced to use the flash resulting in poor photos.

Sorry friends! I promise these photos don't do the dresser justice!

 I'm proud of my first furniture transformation!

Anyways, my {soon-to-be} mother-in-law gave me a 5 drawer dresser with baseball and football knobs. To spruce it up a bit, I painted two coats of a pale blue color onto it. I love the subtle blue and the girly, rose knobs she gave me, CUTE!

 Like my sideways picture taking? Don't judge. Yesterday was a loooong day.

She only had 6 of the rose drawer knobs, so I had to go buy four different knobs to complete the dresser. Little does she know that the reason I love those girly knobs so much is because back home in WV there is this little white dresser that use to be in my bedroom that has these same exact knobs! What are the chances? It's such a sweet reminder of home and my childhood :)

I know it's very feminine, but Steven said he likes it! So instead of putting it in the closet like we originally planned, we are keeping it on display in the bedroom :)

What do you think? Other than my subpar photo taking skills do you like the dresser?
