A few weeks ago I got my hair cut short! I was really nervous about this because I have had long hair for years. It was a big change for me but I really love having short hair and Jake loves it too! He tells me everyday how much he loves it!

happy birthday mom

Today is my mom's 50th Birthday! She is the best mom in the world and I hope she has a wonderful day!

I love you Mom!

ladders

I love it when I find decorative ideas using unexpected items. For example using ladders as both decorative and functional. This is totally brill!

tutti frutti

We finally have a frozen yogurt place in Auburn! Yay! It's called Tutti Frutti and it is very similar to the Yogurt Mountain in Birmingham. I really loved Tutti Frutti, however, as I walked in I didn't get the overwhelming feeling of pure joy like I get when I walk in Yogurt Mountain. There weren't as many yogurt flavors and not nearly as many toppings to choose from and it cost a little bit more per ounce. But it was still really good! I filled my cup with every fruit flavor they had and topped it with fresh kiwi and gummy bears (my signature yogurt topping), and Jake got chocolate vanilla swirl with strawberry topping (boring). And the best part is, it is within walking distance from our apartment!

floating books

Ever since I discovered the concealed bookshelf I have been obsessed with them! So once I saw this picture of a framed concealed bookshelf I was determined to try this one day.

This was my inspiration photo...



And this is my interpretation...



I got the bookshelf from Bed Bath and Beyond and the old frame I got from a thrift store and painted it metallic bronze.



I have it hanging over my desk and it is definitely my favorite decorative detail in my bedroom! I wish the pictures did it justice.
