DIY Chandelier

Last week I promised you a fun DIY project Brian and I did,

If you look back to this post, you'll see an awesome teal wall and then a not so attractive brown chandelier. Just to jog your memory, it looks like this.




Yes, the table is dusty and you can see some papers but I feel like it adds to the sadness of the picture.

No, how dare you assume that I was lazy and didn't dust. Sadness people, sadness.

Pinterest is a great resource for redecorating. I had seen a post once about how to paint a chandelier. They went from 1970's gold decor to a fun vibrant red and it gave me inspiration.

I don't think you can have too much fun color in a house so we went with Gloss Yellow by Krylon. Their spray paint has primer built in so we didn't have to do too much work. Less is better in my book.

We took out some links, put on 3-4 coats of Gloss Yellow and BAM! Beautiful dining room chandelier.



It added a great look to the dining room for the cost of 2 cans of spray paint. Great project in my book.

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Summer

I had a great summer. I know I was gone for a while but I have LOTS of fun stuff to share with you guys. I redesigned the blog (awesome right?), got grass in the backyard (you can see a little pic of it at the top of the blog plus some pics in here), we grilled, and I did a super fun side job. Here are some pictures of us having fun. How tasty does this look? Can you guess what I'm doing for my side job? It's hard to see I know. My hubby took the picture with one of our cell phones. BUT I'm actually doing team pictures for a school. How exciting is that? So Brian started back in Boy Scouts. Now he was an eagle scout and it turns out he was the very first eagle scout from his troop. How many girls out there dreamed of a man in uniform? Well let this be a lesson to you. BE SPECIFIC when you dream and or pray for these things; otherwise, you will get a blurry picture of a dork. But after this update I had better take a break. It looks like someone i

Deepest, Darkest Secret

Now everyone has they're secrets. Maybe you pick your nose. Whatever. I won't judge. Maybe you eat ice cream out of the container. Still, no judging here. Drink milk out the jug and then put it back?... ok a little judging. Everyone has they're secrets. Well I have a secret that nobody knows. I put curlers in my hair. Foam, bright colored, old lady curlers. Now, no one has seen this sight. I even made sure that the hubby was gone. But, I did snap one, face obscured, wet haired picture. Don't judge. I didn't judge you. I'm going to rant about them now because after all, talking is therapeutic. After having above pictured rollers on my hair for an hour my hair was no closer to being dry as when I got out of the shower. I tried to blow dry them but you can only hold a hair dryer to your scalp for so long before it feels like it just might catch on fire. Also, I'm pretty sure I don't know how to put them in correctly. This was
