..The Joys of Before and After..

1 Year and 4 days ago...

okay so I'm a little behind

BUUUT...

1 year ago on Friday Jake and I got Married

Whhhaaa??!

K, now for those of you who just recently got married I'm telling you now..

You will enter a state of shock when you hit your one year mark.

You'll ask yourself:

"I made it!?"

"How?"

"Is this real life?"

"I lived with a boy/girl for over a year?!"

"What did we do the past year?"

etc. etc. etc.

And I thought I loved Him then...

...............

 Like I told you in the Previous Post, I'd post the pictures of the

Bathroom/ Awkward closet space

and

My DI Dresser

well.. I will.. but they are currently uploading so we'll begin with this weekends project

....

awww prettttyyyyy Light fixture!!

Yes.. We only have 1 functional light bulb

This would be located in the upstairs guest bathroom..

(we treat our guests with the highest of quality)

It makes me sick too.. but just wait!!!

it gets better...

Ta daa!

I didn't know that light bulbs came in different textures!!

these in particular came in fuzzy black fur!

aka: DUST

Enter Gag reflex HERE:

                                

Now Now...I know your thinking..

"if we're guests at the Bascoms we'll come home with a disease"

No.. its not true.. we decontaminated!

I want to Find the electrician of this home and smack him upside the head with a 2x4

Now.. I'm no electrician but even I know this isn't "right"

I guess he couldn't find the center, so he just drilled across the top of the mirror

I applaud him for his efforts

my apologies for the poor picture quality..

we didn't really have much LIGHT to work with!

with my steal of deal....

$5 Dolla!!? What could it be!!!?

ahh Yes.. My DI steal over the summer has finally found its place at home.

*Now accepting guests in the Bascom residence*

...............

I have been searching HIGH and LOW for a wreath for my sad naked front door..

I went to every store I could possibly think of and found.. Sqqquaat!

So I took things into my own hands..

I bought a foam ring from the local crafts store and my search began yet again

not for a wreath but for non other than pine cones!

I was shooting for "free" stolen pine cones but they all looked like.. well..

turds.

So there I found myself at the dollar store..

If you go there looking for pine cones..

you wont find them,

I bought em out.

Good luck on your search.

Let the Hot gluing begin!

 once I reached this point in the process I realized that that white foam stuck out like a SORE THUMB

Entering... Spray Paint!



It Worked out wonderfully..  

I placed it...

My once "naked door" became complete!

Please ignore the unpainted spot on the bottom right corner..

we'll paint later!

DEEP BREATH!

Now for the Dresser..

Remember. this.?

A little Bit of this...

and this....

     Equals!....

THIS

DRESS UP!!

while transferring things from the old dresser to the new

I found... "The jersey"

My very first soccer jersey from the team non other named

Charley's Angels ..

Yes.. we were 6 and chose our own team name..

I couldn't help but dress tuck up..

Definitely the highlight of that day.

He only cooperated for the bone I was bribing him with..

Note: Sink in the Middle of the living room floor.. dont worry, thats normal in our home..  It Will be placed in its propper place within the week
