Happy Saturday everyone! This week flew by. I hope you all have fun St. Patrick’s Day plans. We have a long list of things to do today. We’re supposed to go to the parade, and then we’re going to go to some bars most likely, then eventually eat and have a St. Paddy’s dinner at the bf’s family’s house. However, I kind of would rather just stay home instead of going to bars at 9am, UGH! I’m just so tired. Hopefully I’ll get over that feeling. I do love St. Patrick’s day!

Posts I’m lovin’:

Erika made a post on volunteering. I wish I had time to volunteer, it will have to wait until the summer time after I graduate though. Between having a full-time career, full-time MBA classes, dogs and a house, I literally feel like I have no time for anything
Check out Serendipity’s Guide to Saving’s Side Income Update. I know all of you always love reading those!
Bridget thinks just like me, and her goal is to now make more money. Yes there are more things out there that I an cut from our budget, but I like everything that I spend my money on. I’d rather make more money.
Daisy has a long list of things she wants to do when she graduates, it looks like a lot of the same things I want to do!

Interesting search keywords:

Disgusting hair
I like expensive dates
Shopping for cheese

That’s all the interesting search keywords I had. I’m confused…

Hope you all have a great day!

Turning my extra bedroom into a CLOSET

I talked to the BF the other day about turning one of our extra bedrooms into a closet. I have kind of a big closet right now. It’s in a den right now, but there’s no window in it, and I’d rather have a little sunlight and more room. Two of our extra bedrooms are just sitting empty (our third extra bedroom is a guest bedroom). I of course don’t want to spend a lot of money, so a lot of stuff will probably have to be made by me.

And he said he’s good with the idea! I want to paint one of the walls striped like below.

And I want a nice chair in there and an ottoman. I plan on putting everything together myself, so it’ll be hard and a lot of work, but it’ll be worth it. I figure I could find closet book shelf type furniture at Lowes or Home Depot and just have a couple rows of that. And then I want a really big mirror.

Any tips? Do any of you have a big closet that I could grab some ideas from?

Things on Pinterest that I’m loving.

I’m extremely addicted to Pinterest. It’s a problem. Here’s what I love right now.

I love the snowman idea. It looks easy and very cute. This year, instead of just wrapping presents in boring wrapping paper, I want to make them look really pretty and make the wrapper a present in itself pretty much. I know I’m not getting married, but I just love that dress. And those shoes would be perfect for all the holidays coming up. And last but not least, I love that photo wall.

Because of Pinterest, I have around 100,000,000,000 things that I want to make. Hopefully I get started soon.

Are you addicted yet?

Also, I don’t know if any of you have ever heard of Heartsy, but they have a website that is kind of like a Groupon for Etsy shops. It’s pretty cool and they always have cute stuff! I always find myself looking at it.
