An Anniversary and a Craft

.......

or should BLOG-iversary!!

That's right! Today this lil' blog of mine (I'm gonna let it shine!) is TWO!!!!

I can't believe it has been two years - that means I have been married that long...

which we all knew from a couple months ago - but still!!

So Happy Blog-iversary to me!!

As I started this baby out with a craft/re-do, so shall I celebrate today with one!

I have been bit by the 'decorating bug'

No I don't know if it is a real thing to anyone else - it is to me.

The problem - absolute NUMBER ONE thing - is that redecorating or decorating at all for that matter GENERALLY costs some dolla' bills.  I am so thankful that I was blessed with a craft/creative gene. I look all over the internet and in magazines for ideas and then I think of a way I can make something similar. Now, I would LOVE to show you my craft room like I did two years ago, but it isn't quite ready for the big reveal. Heck, even when I finally show ya the room - I'm sure it will still not be completed. Anyone who has a house, KNOWS that there is ALWAYS a work in progress =) 

My recent overhaul is our spare bathroom.

This is what it looked like the day we bought the house - Halloween 2011

This is what it looked like 2 weeks later =)

 

Seriously - we did pretty awesome! I absolutely love the spare bath.

But now it is looking a little plain-jane. It just needs a little SOMETHING.

Enter Dollar Tree! No seriously - the ONLY way I'm decorating is if it is NOT costing me an arm and a leg -and  ESPECIALLY because of my aforementioned gene!

First - I hung the shower curtain...well not first - I did that MONTHS ago.

I used the shower curtain from the old house...yes we only had ONE shower.

I seriously wish I would have posted pictures of that house, if for no other reason to share the layout!

Anyhow - I did these little projects for some added decor for about $4

Seriously - $4! you really can't beat that!

Here they are - all done my moi last night:

 

Wine bottle 

White flowers - left over from this project

small glass vase - used in our sand ceremony at our wedding

Valspar gold spray paint - already had for a different project that is still in the works...

greenery - Dollar Tree

Framed 8X10 mirror - Dollar Tree

glass 'beads' - left over from wedding centerpieces

jute/twine - hardware store: $2

I have some wall decor I made with the help of my Cricut E BUT I didn't get to hang them. 

I'll show you the full tour of the bathroom tomorrow...hopefully =) 

Thank you for all your support - whether you have recently discovered Life After the Aisle or you have been here since day 1! your love and support has been amazing and I look forward to continuing to share our life and projects =)  Love love LOVE U!!!
