Project: Apartment Beautification

Thomas and I have been decorating our new apartment--finally!!! Here is a little taste of what we've been up to:

The Living Room

Our Beautiful brown curtains we got on sale! woo!!

We are both pretty proud of this "s". We worked on it together. Precious, I know. We just bought a canvas and covered it with fabric and hot glued blue buttons in the shape of an "s". It is even our wedding colors!!!

This is one of our favorite paintings of Christ. It is "O Jerusalem" by Greg Olsen. It was so expensive everywhere we looked, but we ended up getting a pretty good deal on it! 

This is our big wedding picture that is in the middle of the array of pictures shown below.

My friend Katie gave us that awesome "all because two people fell in love" sign thingy and it is just perfect! Usually people put pictures of their kids under that saying, but we are sticking with the fact that all because two people fell in love, they got married. It works, right?

THE HALL

Our cute little marriage certificate from the temple. 

Everyone has to have a Proclamation somewhere in the home, so here is ours! I really like the frame for it and it was only 3 bucks! We got all of our frames from DI or Savers. It saved us a TON of money seeing as all our frames ranged from 3-5 dollars instead of 15-20. 

This is our pre-marriage frame. All the pictures are from our dating days. There are three little reminders in there of when our anniversaries are of when we got engaged, our first date, and when we officially started dating. Tomorrow is 1 whole year from the day we officially started dating AND its a holiday. Ain't that convenient?

This was Thomas' project. I handed him the pictures and the ticky tack and he placed them. It is fun to have a collage of our favorite scripture stories and pictures of Christ. It is a good reminder to look to Christ. This collage is right next to a mirror so it also reminds us to have His image in our countenance. I think he did a great job!

BED AND BATH

These are our new curtains for our bedroom! They have random birds that are green and blue(wedding colors!) all over them. We got them at Lowe's with a gift card. The crazy thing is that they were with the curtains for little kids. We weren't super fond of any of the adult curtains though. They were boring. We love these though! I guess we have a childish style?

This picture was given to me by my brother, Adam when I was a teenager. I have always liked it and wanted it somewhere in our apartment. We decided to put it in the bathroom because sometimes when you are sitting there it is a real uncomfortable struggle to let things pass, but this reminds us that it eventually will!! Fitting, right? My mom suggested we get wall words for our bathroom that say, "Do your duty with a heart full of song." Get it?? My grandmother had the New Era picture of Christ that said "You are never alone" in her bathroom. It was always a little weird to go to the bathroom in there. I guess our family is full of church related potty humor.

Welp! That's the tour of our decorations. We would love for you to come see them in person sometime!
