beginnings of a bedroom makeover

since we got married and i moved in to the condo, we had done nothing to the bedroom. we finally got rid of the nasty carpet in november last year and had plans to paint, but that never happened. so, at LAST, my bestie came over one friday a few weeks ago and we painted! i wish i had before pics...

i had been loving the idea of hanging embroidery hoops with fabric after seeing lots of pictures of the idea on blogs and pinterest. and the best part of this idea is it's cheap! hoops are about $1 and thanks to my fabric obsession i already had tons to choose from. i also got some cheap frames from ikea and printed some free art from a website (can't find it for the life of me right now!) we put everything up with this awesome stuff..

no holes in the wall=YAY!    

we did have to put the hoops with nails, but used tiny ones so it won't be a huge deal when it comes down someday. and actually, i'm thinking i want to add some more and rearrange, but for now i like it :)
we did pick up some more frames (one of them got mod podged last week) so i'm thinking i'll put some more frames in the mix and maybe another hoop or two. i'm just happy things are on the wall at at last!

and here's a picture just because...

  2. Wow, I really like those things you put up on the wall. You should do a little how-to about those round things. And your puppy is so cute! P.S. So nice of your friend to help you paint. Your bestie must be such a great painter! Turned out beautifully. Love the color you chose! Matches your pillow case.
