Im blue if I was green I would die...

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
that's me currently screaming!!!!!!
I've just spent the last hour and a half puting together a post and what did I just do on accident? DELETED THE WHOLE EFFING THING!!!!!!!!!! Talk about frustrating. So please forgive me if this now current post isnt as witty as it once was and if it just plain sucks. Im pissed at myself right now. lkjasdf;kjasgoijsfdglkjsljklsdflkjsdfjlk

Im just so mad at myself I feel like turning my computer off and walking away, but I cant because I've already been puting all this off. My brain now feels empty because I'd already said and gotten everything out that was in my head and now I cant even think of what I put in the original stupid post.

Im gonna try......

There once was an old hall way half table (thats what I call it, because its a hall table and it's a half of one) it looked like this:

The first post I wrote talked about how im cheap and that I dont think its a bad thing and blah blah blah.
When my parents moved a few years ago they got rid of a lot of stuff. And since Zach and I lived in an 1800 sqft house that didnt have much of our own things in it I took almost everything my dear old mama offered up to me. The half table being one of them. At the old house it kind of sat in the corner. Didnt have much of a place for it and I didnt like the way it looked at all. I knew one day Id find time to re do it a bit and finally that day came.
*Side note: Our old house had plenty of stuff in it. It was my grandparents old house and they were the type of people that didnt throw anything away, and bought everything times 10, AND did A LOT of garage saling in their day. You think of it, it was in the house. But us packing up our stuff and moving out and 5 or was it 6 dumpsters later the house is finally empty. And looks amazing after the upgrades my folks have done on it.
I had no clue what color I wanted to paint it, but I found a bunch of these really great knobs at world market I was going to use on redoing a coat rack (which sadly that cant be done) and knew I wanted the new knob on the table to be one of those. It just so happens we had a paint color that matched one of the knobs perfectly. Its the color we are going to paint the half bath in the basement. That hasn't gotten tackled yet because it looks like this:

Its has a lot of angles and a high bit of ceiling. Its also going to need a lot of sanding from the white paint brush strokes and lots of primer. We dont use this bathroom much so I havent felt like wasting my time on painting it yet. Either way we had paint that I decided to use on the table. It turned out like this:

The cool thing is, with the execption of the 4 small wooden cylinder things (those are from my sisters rehersal dinner a few years back) all that stuff is from my grandparents collection of things I found in the house. Ignore all the random stuff in the hall in these pictures. The hall is currently being used as semi storage for things from the office while we fix that beast up!

Theres a lot of blue going on in this post and theres about to be more to come! If only I had a reason to throw in a picture of the blue squares from the "office" we are about to paint over. Oh what the hell...

but im not talking about that room right now, so I'm moving on.

I been drooling over the master bedrooms in a lot of the blogs I follow. Knowing I cant compete with them, I knew I had to try a little to fix up our masters chambers. Our room comes off kind of dark so I knew I wanted some lighter fabrics in there. I found this pretty sweet duvet on sale at Target so I scooped that bad boy up, and its been sitting in a closet for over a month. I had no clue the direction I was going to go in there. Until one day when I saw a commercial. And in the commercial was a lamp. The lamp. I had to have this lamp.

It took me awile to find it but I finally did. I had a little bit of buyers remorse for a week or 2 (I've never spent 60 bucks on a lamp, ugh just thinking about it makes me want to return it again, kind of.) I originally bought the lamp with no clue where it was going to live. Right before returning it a light bulb in my head turned on, "Put it in our bedroom and make our room mostly white with navy accents!" DING DING DING we have a winner folks :-)
I spent all day Saturday this past weekend looking for navy accents and sheets and blankets and came home with tons of stuff. I spent a few hours sunday making pillows for the bed because it was soo much cheaper than buying some. My mom sewed em up for me because I have no clue how to work a sewing machine
*side note: we made the pillows out of diffrent types of napkins and felt.
and here is the results of what I've got going on in there so far :-)

Theres still much to do. That side table is going to be the next thing swapped out. Im gonna keep it and put it somewhere else in the house, but it just doesn't go in there. I think I've also decided to keep the walls that light yellow. One day that chair will be recovered, but until then we are using this slip cover. That chair is way too comfy not to make use of it!

So our house has a definate blue thing going on at the moment!

I think I'm done. I feel like I had so much more to say in my first attempt at this post, but whats done is done and theres nothing I can do about it now. Hopefully my next post wont have so much anger behind it :-)
