First Floor Please.

This is the post where I tell you how much I love our new place. 

If you still live in a small apartment, I suggest you don't read this. 

You will want to move immediately. 

We moved into a town home over the weekend. 

we LOVE it. 

Double the space. 

Dish washer. 

Washer and Dryer. 

bath tub. 

basically the works. 

Now time for a tour of the downstairs...

yep, we have stairs now!

 I am so proud of that table, craiglist for $150 and they delivered for free!

 This is my new favorite rug. $50 at Rugs USA!

 The entire basement is tiled which is so great for the heat in Florida!

I love this picture of the temple. Costco- $50. Best deal ever. 

 Our landlord even put cute mirrors in the bathrooms... what middle age man thinks of that?

All new cabinets in the kitchen!

(Yes, I am still in love with my Kitchen Aid)

 I love the window in the kitchen, it makes it feel much more open!

The best part is

we can finally have people over!

I know it might seem small to you

but the whole down stairs is the size of our old apartment! 

And I even washed my dishes in the dish washer today! 

Life is good. 

DIY Valentine's Wreath

I love holidays. 

Really I love any reason to celebrate something. 

So naturally, I love to decorate. 

Seeing as we live in just a little over 500 sq ft of space, I don't have a lot of space to decorate. 

(I cannot wait until we move in three weeks!!!)

I think it is really fun to have a new wreath on the door for every season/holiday. 

I always keep my wreath inside because then I get to see it more often

and I really don't have that many people come to our door anyways. 

This wreath is super simple. 

All you need is:

1 round styrofoam wreath

1/3 yard burlap

2 felt squares

1 yard of twine

Super glue/ glue gun

First cut about 4 inches of the burlap.

Put a light layer of super glue or glue from a glue gun around half of the wreath. 

Then wrap the burlap around and around and around :)

Do this until you reach the beginning and just glue down the excess on the back side o the wreath. 

Take your felt square and cut our a curly cue circle. 

You can make this as big or little as you would like. 

Hold the middle of the circle and start wrapping the felt around it. 

This is much easier than you think .

Put a little bit of glue on the end to hold it together. 

Add glue to the bottom of the rose and place it wherever you'd like on your wreath. 

For the burlap banner, cut out four triangles with your burlap. 

If you have a glue gun, glue each triangle to the twine. 

Otherwise, you will probably want to stitch them. 

Write whatever word you would like with permanent marker. 

Tie the banner to both sides of the wreath. 

Happy LOVE month!

enjoy.
