My DIY (Do It Yourself) HOME REMODEL in Progress

I have been so happy with Russ and I as a marriage lately. Not that we have ever been "unhappy" but you could call us "unorganized, "unstable financially", "living paycheck to paycheck" However we are changing ALL of that. We have a savings pot. I believe I have brought Russ to terms that we will be in this rental house for another 4 years for sure! So he has allowed me to start making it a HOME! Which can be expensive if your not smart( I am smart by the way). DIY (Do It Yourself) might be a new obsession. My first priority was getting Dalton's big boy room done...you saw in previous post that I did that. I shopped ales for weeks looking for his bed stuff! Next was our main bath, that has been done as well. Its amazing what a new shower head. a rug and shower curtain can do. (30.00) I have been trying to find something for awhile now to go in my kitchen besides clutter ;) We went to what we thought would be cheap, Hobby Lobby... and we found out later that was not the case! I paid 3.00 each for these wooden painted signs above my stove at Walmart (the store that never lets us down) and at Hobby Lobby they were 15.99 EACH! Ya! My my point! Shop for the bargains. by the way, don't you totally LOVE the coffee theme? So me right?! This is a sign that Russ and I found at Gordman's(a great reasonable home decor store) for 19.00 it is going to be part of a headboard thing in our room but I need to shop the garage sales a little more I am looking for something specific. Let me back up a minute..I have NEVER had a themed bedroom, a sexual, sensual bedroom. I have NEVER had a cozy, relaxing bedroom. I am a 28 years old, very loving woman, done having kids and into 4 years of my healthy marriage. I DESERVE A BEDROOM! This bedroom theme idea has come from browsing lots of HGTV sites and DIY magazines. Again, totally a new hobby! Its a cottage like, rustic type bedroom(could totally use your help here Sister Wood). The style resembles how a bed and breakfast might be. So the colors are Chocolate and Blues of all shades.
I 100% LOVE this sign!

I got these little vases in the DOLLAR bin at Target and the Gerber Daisy's at Hobby Lobby. these too are my favorite.

Ok so here's to the Greatness of bargain shopping. The mirror was 3.00 at the Goodwill Thrift Store, the dresser (don't laugh) we found sitting by a dumpster at an apartment complex, turned around, threw it in the back of Sis's blazer and took it home, Russ repaired the leg that was broken and go figure it already had the "rustic" look I was looking for (lol). So that item was FREE. Our bedroom is almost complete, again I need something else for my headboard and then I should be done. Next is Austin's room. (Guitar theme)

I have to add a Extra Special message in here.....

Dear Sister Wood and Brother in Law Ryan. Thank you for making life easier. Thank you for lifting the weight off both our shoulders. Thank you for the random "love you" text messages in the mornings. Thank you for being strong when I need you. Thank you for loving our boys the way you do and for the way Ryan has bonded to Dalton. We will be making the extra time to come there versus you all here.
