Yes You ARE!!

Dear LeAnn,

It's time to wake up and smell the Bacon I mean Eating disorder. Sweetie, the tabloids who have been reporting there concern for your emaciated frame are trying to help you. You have a problem, when your head weighs more the rest of your body you most likely are not at your ideal weight. Now many speculate that your two timing husband  is likely to blame for your dramatic weight loss. And I have to agree, you were at a healthy and beautiful weight pre-Cibrian. Point is we loved you just the way you were and now we hope you realize that you are killing yourself and we would hate to see that happen.

Sincerly,
A most concerned Blogger

I wish it was summer mix

D.I.Y Design 1.24.11

Bright Lights, Big Statement

Bring romantic ambience to your bedroom with a headboard

that glows. Build a simple wood frame from 2x4s, and add crossbeams to

create as many light "frames" as you like. Drill small holes

 in the bottom of each opening. (Make sure the holes are

 large enough to feed the light cords through.) Paint your frame,

 then attach it to the wall, screwing it into the studs.

 Fill each space with lights, connecting the cords as you go.

The translucent panels were cut from polycarbonate sheet

 and affixed to the frame with screws. If you don't

want to cut the polycarbonate yourself, have it cut to

size at your local home supply center.

Read All About It

Letters of all shapes and sizes combine to create an artistic

 headboard in this bedroom. These letters are placed in a

random arrangement, but the color consistency keeps

 the design from looking chaotic. If you prefer a

 tidier look, find letters of the same size and color and

spell words or phrases.

Canvas Your World

Or anything for that matter, by hanging painted

canvas with your choice artwork you can

 achieve depth and design, quite simply.  This is a very clean

look that can be turned more contemporary

of traditional depending on artwork choice.

Decal Decor

Probably the easiest and quickest of the bunch, Vinyl Decals

 are all the rage these days and

there are endless possibilties as to what you can do. 

Check out etsy's array of designs to find your

perfect and unique design!

Framed Memories

Taking several personal photographs and having them framed

creates symmetry in the bedroom.

This look can also feature may different sized shapes and colored frames

for a more eclectic and urban vibe.
