I've become DIY obsessed!

We finally have a date that we will official be at Ft. Drum.  May 16th is the big day. This is a little sooner than expected, but BJ didn't get Hometown recruiting like he thought he would.  Apparently because he is on a profile and getting a wavier to skip his last PT he is disqualified from HRAP.  He's still having a few issues with his knee and its not going down into his foot, but that's a entire other post.  So BJ is taking 10 day personal time so we aren't rushing to get up there.  I'm so excited we are finally getting close.  I've been getting everything ready for the big move including getting stuff ready for our new house.  We sold most of our furniture when we moved back to Georgia so we are buy a lot of new stuff.  I ordered a couch that should be here on May 1st and the kids rooms are being completely re-done.  Really Max hasn't ever had a proper room so his is being done for the first time.  Jaden wants butterflies so we did a little name thing to hand on her wall or bedroom door.

We also mad one for Max's room!

Max of course is having Helicopters and Airplanes for his room. 

For our room the hubby and I were in real need of a bed. We have a queen mattress and box spring but no headboard or foot board.  Originally I had one picked out form Ikea I wanted, but being realistic I have other things we need more than a 300 dollar bed.  So I started searching around for headboard ideas online and was able to find a DIY cloth headboard.  I spent about 90 bucks, but I think it was so worth it.  I'm doing my bedroom in black, white, and Tiffany blue. Doing this headboard made doing this so easy.  I'm almost done with the headboard.  I was able to do it in one day during one of Max's naps. At least most of it.  I still have 4 buttons to sew on, but otherwise its done. 

At first look it seems super busy.  The Pattern was a little more than expected it to be, but I think with a few pillows and a white comforter this will look awesome! I can't wait to get it in my room and get everything put together.  I also made a distressed picture frame, that I LOVE!  I think I might make a few more and hang them on the wall. 

Its been fun getting into designing stuff for my house and with pinterest there are a ton of DIY projects to do that are easily accessible.  I can't wait to get in a get going on it.  Its going to be an exciting couple of months.  I will be blogging soon about how I made my headboard if interested.  It was super easy.
