Our Office/Josue's Clothes Room

The Garage in the back

I didn't take any photos of the backyard yet because its a work in progress, hopefully I can take pictures soon then we can have a BBQ !


We moved here in February and I am so proud of My Husband he put in all the light fixtures including the fan! He and his Dad put in the wood floor, and we painted all the rooms. Its a cozy home but it fits us for now. We have a lot of blank wall space which we hope to get some awesome paintings for. Maybe during our travels abroad we will find some ;)

PS Sorry for the mess! All the time spent on homework doesn't leave me lots of time to clean =)

Make a Message Board

My friend Danielle taught me how to make my own message board. I picked out an awesome fabric and got started. I took photos so you can make one too if you want. First start with a cork board, batting, fabric, ribbon, and cute thumb tacks. You will need a stapler. I'm sure a power stapler would work better, but I used a regular one and it worked just fine!

Staple the batting to the board.

Then staple the fabric to the back of the board on top of the batting.

You could make this one step and staple the two layers together.

Lay out the ribbon criss-cross style and cut strips.

Then staple the strips to the back.

Finally put the tacks where the ribbons cross.
