Remember the craft wall I was making? Whatever happened to that project? You'll have to excuse the extremely slow pace at which it's coming together; I've been a bit tied up lately and haven't been able to drive for a couple weeks due to my back. The last thing I'm going to ask the Huz to do is drive me to Michaels so I can stand in the Martha aisle for 25 mins while I decide between which cutting board or hole punch to buy. He's sweet but I think that's asking a bit too much from the guy who has waited on me hand and foot for the last three weeks (did I mention how much I love him? Great big bunches). Thanks to the internet and Etsy (my other love), I can purchase almost everything I need right from my comfy couch. Here's everything I've bought or have on my list to buy, oh so very soon.
The Huz has this desk in black. I painted it white. "He let you paint his favorite office desk white," you ask?
He did. I love him.
He did. I love him.
Added this craft hutch (but flipped it upside down so the cubbies are on the bottom). I'm trying to figure out how to utilize the larger space on top. Any suggestions from you crafty lovelies?
I'll be purchasing this easy peasy chair from Ikea ($22.99!)...
...and then making a pillow from this fabric for the chair. Isn't it pretty? It's one of the fabrics we used in our wedding to make the favors, napkin rings, and boutonnieres. For thread, I'm thinking of using the pink and white bakers twine we used in our wedding for the napkin rings.
I love incorporating memories into our home decor.

I bought this wall decal and loved it but then when I put the desk up against the wall the proportions and spacing were all off. I think I'll keep the decal for later use (wouldn't it be sweet in a baby's room?) and I'll fill the empty wall with fun artwork instead.
Like this.
And this.
And these.
This too.
You already know about this one.
Then I'll finally hang these babies up that I won from a Potter and Butler giveaway.
And lastly, a cute story.
The Huz and I wrote our own vows for the wedding because we wanted to make them special and meaningful to us as a couple. They were cute and simple but I spent months rehearsing them because I knew I'd have a hard time trying to memorize them the week before the wedding. I probably said my vows in my head each day for three months. Pathetic? Maybe. But I had a million other wedding items buzzing around in my head and I knew I had to have the vows nailed down. The Huz, on the other hand, waited until the morning of the wedding to memorize them. He didn't have them written down anywhere so the night before the wedding, I scribbled them down on some hotel scrap paper using a really bad pen that almost ran out of ink. We have pictures of him standing in the orchard at the back of the aisle, staring at that piece of paper, still trying to memorize his vows right before the ceremony. He delivered them flawlessly. The next morning, it poured during our brunch underneath the tent. As everyone rushed to make sure all our decorations, presents and guestbook were saved from the rain, my mom spotted a piece of paper on the ground outside in the grass. They were the Huz's vows. They must have fallen out of his pocket the night before and luckily the rain had not destroyed them. A sign? I like to think so.
I'm going to frame them and hang them up on my craft wall.Front and center.
I also need to throw in some cute desk and craft accessory organizers. Any ideas?
Do you have any fun items you've used to decorate your space?
Where do you go to find creative decorations or organizing solutions?
