Hanging Around the House

So there have been several things I have been asking Kyle to hang up around the house lately and since I had some girlfriends coming to visit last weekend I really begged him to get them up...and of course he did! He had his work cut out for him, I had things to hang in the guest bath, the living room and our bedroom!
 
Our guest bathroom is finally finished....for now! I eventually want to replace the counter tops, stain the cabinets and tile the floor, but for now it's at a finished point.

 
My honey hard at work!
 
 
I have had this crate to stain for months and I was home sick last week so I decided to finally get it done! I had been putting it off because I thought it would be a pain but it was actually really easy! I love the way it turned out and makes storing towels cute!
 
On to the living room.... I have had this fabric for months as well. I got it from my friend Ashlen and knew it would be perfect in our living room. And since I don't sew I had Kyle's mom make us curtains! I LOVE the way they turned out and they really made our living room feel more home like!
 
 
As you can tell Kyle didn't see the need to get a ladder.
 
 
(Please ignore my napping pillow...as I said...I was sick!)
 
 
Sorry this picture is so dark...and once again please ignore my pillow! ;) I really do love the way these turned out!
 
Now to our master bedroom! Three of my girlfriends gave me these wonderful mirrors as a wedding gift but they are a pain to hang. Kyle had been putting off hanging these up since the day we took them down in our rental house! But we used a new technique this time and it went much smoother and they look great!
 
 
This was definitely a pinterest pin success! These mirrors just have 2 holes on the back that you have to measure and make sure you get the anchors and screws in the exact right place, all while making sure the 3 mirrors are perfectly in line and evenly spaced. So I when I found this pin I was so excited. So simple, just use tape to measure the distance between the holes and put the tape up on the wall, the all you have to worry about is the spacing. It made it so much more simple! I love where we decided to hang these!
 
 
I have been wanting bird prints for a while so I convinced Mrs. Wendy to make us some! She had just gotten a new bird book that had beautiful pictures to choose from. I originally wanted to put them in our dining room but after Mrs. Wendy finished I decided to hang them in our bedroom above the bed!
 
 
Kyle and Maci worked hard to get these hung perfectly! He used the tape method again because the wires on the backs of the frames were all different lengths.
 
I absolutely LOVE the way these turned out! They look AMAZING!
 
 
Our house is coming together little by little! We love living here and making this our home!
