girl crush monday

so if you know me, you know that i have a massive girl crush on mackenzie horan. 

i'm convinced we would be friends if we didn't live on opposite sides of the country.

i REALLY want to raid her closet. and steal borrow her pup rory.

also, i blame mackenzie for my spending habit.

between her cute style picks and her adorable boutique, i wish i had an unlimited budget.

drawer handle fail

so i went to start my rast hack last night,

i pulled my shiny new drawer handles out of their box,

set one on a drawer and realized...

it's too small.

so back to the drawing board. 

side note: 

these are the 3rd pair of handles i have ordered. 

the first two were discontinued and i was told weeks after i placed my order.

let there be pink

so yesterday i found gold on pinterest.

a room designed by britany simon (of design star fame) for ballard.

i screamed then jumped up and down.

and then i did what any normal girl did, i emailed my dad.

"PLEASE HELP ME MAKE A PINK HEADBOARD!!!"

guess who has:

blue and white rug?

grey walls?

white bedding?

gold accents?

THIS GIRL.

now if you read my older post, i was planning on buying a new bed.

but just haven't done it yet.

honestly, i don't want to have to move it.

so i decided i would order it once i move in with the boy next year.

in the mean time, i have no headboard and my head hurts from crashing it into the wall.

so i am going to make a pink headboard.

because i like pink and have always wanted one.

once i move, i can sell it and buy the white bed i want.

room update

if you follow me on instagram,

then you will have seen what happened last week.

i pulled ALL of the furniture out of my room.

(by myself, i don't recommend that.)

in order to put in my anniversary present from from my boyfriend.

yes, that is a navy and white stripe rug.

it makes me all sorts of happy.

(rusty likes it too! and he is cone-free!)

next up is my nightstands.

provided my drawer hardware actually shows up.

(i've already ordered 2 other sets only to be told weeks later they are discontinued.)

it's my first big DIY.

fingers crossed!

monday

if you need to smile today... 

(for the record, he is okay and doesnt mind the cone at all.)

friday's letters

dear friday and long weekend,

i don't think i have ever been happier that you are here. the last few weeks have been nuts.

dear to-do list,

i am ignoring you this weekend. otherwise, i will have a meltdown.

dear mexican food,

i will be eating you all weekend. i see lots of guacamole in my future.

dear oven,

i would really like it if you worked all the time. not just sometimes. oh and stop burning things.

dear boyfriend,

i can't wait to have fun this weekend! 

dear everyone,

have a fun and safe weekend!

don't drink and drive or get a sunburn!

screw the challenge

sorry, i planned on doing the challenge until last week when life turned all sorts of crazy.

my big brother graduated saturday which means my mother freaked out all week. 

we had to redo the backyard. and clean the whole house top to bottom, twice. 

plus i had cookies and cupcakes to bake for my brother's party and killer cake to bake for my best friend's graduation party.

and a million other things on my mile long to-do list. 

the only fun thing i did was hangout with sienna.

(sorry s, i normally don't talk that much but nerves, caffeine and lack of sleep make me ramble.)

i may try to finish the challenge, but not so sure.

i have two bakery orders for this week and sleep to catch up on.

and i would like to see my friends. 

i have been running on caffeine for the last 6 days.

i need a nap.
