DIYing

So, over the last couple of weeks I've been on a DIY kick. I'm going to do a post on each one sometime soon (hopefully this week). I've been getting all of the ideas from pinterest.com, so i will post the original link with what I did :)

- also...if you want to join pinterest, let me know and I can send you an invite!

Being in our own place is awesome! It obviously has the goods and bads about it but I wouldn't want it any other way now. Funny thing is, we've been there almost 3 months and still aren't fully settled - it really does take a long time haha & before you know it, by the time your settled it's time to move out. anyways, it's wayy different than living in a bedroom lol

So... I will start posting all of my DIY projects in my blog :)

It's been a while. A lot has been going on. Chris and I moved into our first apartment together almost a month ago. We're still getting settled in, it's amazing how long it's taken. I guess since we're so busy during the week, we take the weekends to relax. But we finally got everything unpacked this weekend except for a couple of boxes and I did my first DIY project for the living room...see pictures/steps below :)

1) I took 3 16"x20" canvases & put them together on top of newspaper.

2) Used 3 small bottles of black acrylic paint, made circles and swirls... basically anything to cover the white space. I let the black paint completely dry before the next step.

3) Added some red acrylic paint to match the throw pillows I got from Target (I didn't even use the whole bottle of red).

4) All done! I spaced each canvas 3 1/2 inches apart :)
