Favorite Holiday Manicure

After seeing THIS manicure, I HAD TO do it too! I'm a little obsessed with nail polish. Just a little. As well as pillows and mirrors, but that's another story.

Anyways, I took some pretty pictures of how it turned out and wanted to blog about it because, well, I'm a nerd and I enjoy looking at other people's nail polish posts. I did this 2 days ago and after hot gluing, mod podging, washing dishes, showering, and just every day activities, they still look the same! I love that! Here's the pic:



For the base color, I used Salley Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in "Cafe Au Lait" aka my favorite nude color. Then for the glitter, I used Revlon Nail Enamel in "Starry Pink." (I bought both of those at the drugstore) I think I might just used Starry Pink the rest of the month over any color because in my mind the holidays = glitter! :) So that's that. Hope you likey!

I'm off to take some pictures of the nursery progress. We've done so much lately, I have to do another update!

EASY DIY Optimus Prime Costume (Rescue Bots)

Image
My son Mason who is 3 years old (almost 4), wanted to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has been watching Transformers Rescue Bots for a few years now, so I knew I wanted to make the Rescue Bots version. I have made his last two Halloween costumes and I was really excited to make this one! So I sat down to do some research on it and Googled "DIY Optimus Prime costume" and a bunch of images popped up that seemed really hard to do and also really hard to trick-or-treat in looking quite boxy and hard to move in, so I just used them as inspiration and came up with my own version aka t he EASY version! Supplies: 2 cereal boxes (I used large Cheerios boxes) 1 additional cereal box to be cut up 2 small boxes (I used Keurig k-cup boxes that I had laying around) Duct tape: red, blue, metallic silver (I found mine on Amazon) 2 empty paper towel rolls Cotton balls Black construction paper Gray paint (I mixed black and white together because that's all I had) 1 pai

Project Organize: Home Office

Image
Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways,
