Bedroom Makeover

Ever since we moved into our apartment, I haven't LOVED our bedroom, 

and with the baby coming we needed a little more room for a bassinet.

So we decided to spice it up a bit with a few more pillows and an upholstered headboard that we created.

add an upholstered headboard 

(I'll show you how we did it at a later date.)

Add few decorative pillows

gray ruffled pillow: i made with leftover headboard fabric

gray pillow with cream design: amy butler from bed bath and beyond

cream pillow: wal-mart 4 years ago

a few euro shams...

 and voila!

Rearrange the room a little and it gives it a whole new look!

Tricks for the Everyday Wife

My mother is amazing. She knows every little or big trick there is.

I guess she had to with 7 kids under the age of 9.

Try them! You'll thank me! (or my mom)

Or you might already know them...

To get pen out of clothing or anything for that matter use HAIRSPRAY!.

Spray a few squirts on and throw it in the wash.

I love getting into my bed with newly washed sheets that are crisp and cold.

This trick will do just that!

Throw your sheets in the washer, wash them like normal, and then put them in the dryer.

Don't dry them for the full time. You want them to be a little damp.

Put them on your bed damp.

Don't fully make your bed until they have dried.

Your husbands will be happy!

To get grease out of anything-put Dawn dish washing liquid on the greasy stain.

Put in washer and the grease is gone!

(I feel like I'm doing an infomercial)

I hate that mildewy scent on my kitchen towels that I wipe down the counter with.

Put them in the microwave for 30 seconds (wet of course) and the smell is gone. (I learned this from Cason's mom)

Or if they are white, throw them in the washer with bleach.

To get your house smelling yummy and clean, fill your sink with a little hot water and pour pine-sol or Mr. Clean in. (you kinda need alot) Yum yum!

Happy Housekeeping!!
