There are a lot of DIY projects that I want to start. Me and the BF really want to make this ottoman. Has anyone ever tried doing this? I know it’ll be hard, but that ottoman would be PERFECT for our living room. When I do decide to make this, I’ll make sure that I post every step here in my blog for you all to see! I think I could get a cheaper ottoman than what they did in the original blog (probably around $5 or $10 from a thrift store or yard sale).

I also want to make these really pretty bottles for Christmas time. We usually have people over for Christmas and I never actually decorate a ton (besides the Christmas tree) so I actually want to do something creative this year.

I would also love a really pretty light fixture over our dining room table.  Ours right now is kind of plain and not really what I want.

We bough our house exactly 2 years ago and it’s still pretty plain. Everything is furnished but we haven’t repainted any of the rooms or have a “theme” in any room.  We’ve both been too busy (well too lazy) but I think it’s time to start doing stuff.

What are some things that you’ve been wanting to make?

    These are all really beautiful! I have been wanting to make my own curtains. Random, I know. But I just can't find any that I like in the stores, plus the cost…woo…wee.. I haven't looked into it much, but I am hoping by the time I do look it to it, it won't cost as much as just buying them.

    I always want to redecorate my apartment! Rambo and I decided we're moving in six months so hopefully I can do some redecorating there but I've been kinda wanting to make a headboard since we don't have one.
