Sorry! + Home Decorating Inspo! ♥☼

Hey guys, I am sorry that I have been away for so long! But I have been living in Alberta as a working student/horse trainer (you can see whats up at my other blog: HERE), but I have just been so extremely busy and I haven't had any time to update or anything! BUT, I am excited to say that my Mom is currently getting the dimensions for my new apartment room so that I can start planning for it and as you guys know, I LOVE DECORATING! I thought because you guys have been so patient with me that I would share some of my inspiration for said room, so here it is:


 
I love this girls style. It is an inspiration to me because of how crazy, and boho it is and yet it still seems to flow nicely together. I am too preoccupied with being matchy-matchy and this house inspires me to kind of let that go!

 
I also love StileBabe's room because of the cute colours and the shabby-chic decor:

 

So next I just have some pictures of some inspiration from my Pinterest, which is mostly for DIY and decor:

 1. I love the idea of a wooden headboard..and it would be easy! It's just 2x4 planks, stained and drilled into the wall!
2. I LOVED the idea of using drawers as shelving, not to mention how you can paste a cute picture on the bottom like that! I don't know exactly what I would put in the shelves but I'm thinking just old trinkets like a piggy bank or a mason jar flower.
3. Like seen in StilaBabe09's video, I love the twine and clothes pin picture hanging and its so cheap and easy to do! I will probably add a few faux flowers along the mix as well to give it even more of a shabby chic feel.
4. And lastly the desk/dresser colourblocking. I like the idea of this and I think it would look cute if I did it to my dresser.

 1. Top photo I just loved the colour of the dresser and how they decorated it. Maybe that + the colour blocking?
2. A DIY tutorial on how to reupholster a desk chair! This I need to do because my chair is just black leather...not my style.
3. Lastly is a tutorial on how to mod podge those ugly plastic containers with scrap paper or fabric. I think I am going to spray paint the sides of mine and just decorate the front.

1. I love the idea of using an old liquor bottle as a candle or storage!
2. Using an old crate and restaining it to hold blankets and throw pillows would be SUPER USEFUL because there is no where to put them other than the floor!
3. Painting a globe to say a word is a cute and very-me idea.
4. Lastly using cheap cups and plates you  can make a cake stand! I will probably be putting mine on my vanity to hold perfumes! 

So those are my decor ideas. They are fairly inexpensive and kind of boho/shabby chic which I love. I can't wait to get started!

Also: I just found multiple websites that allow you to create floorplans! No more doing it by hand! Check these out:
