Closet Re-Do

Well I came home the other night from the gym and I guess with too much
energy and started cleaning out my closet!  I didn't realize I had so much stuff!

It looks better but still need a better solution!  Let me know if you
have any tricks to a more organized closet!

Before: Not very organized and stuff just
kind of thrown together:(
After:
Color coordinated tops
All Casual dresses together
All nice dresses together
                                         I have no idea what to do with all of the shoes
so I just organized them by heels, or dressy shoes
boots, sneakers, and sandals!
This picture really doesn't do it justice but I felt
better about cleaning out:)

This Picture Below is where I hung all of my Spring/ Summer
Bags that I might want to use:)  I put them on a old basket hanger. 
It worked pretty well.
Beside that I have all of my Spring Scarves on a hanger and then my belts on another.

In the picture below is all of my tops I tried to color coordinate them
as well and then to the right is dressy dresses:)

This is where I store my jewelry, pins, and headbands.


After doing my closet I see why my Mom
bought me this apron:)
"Will Cook for Shoes!"


Please feel free to leave any closet organizational ideas that you may have!
I love new ideas:)

Happy Spring Cleaning!!

Next bathroom closet!!! Yeah:)

New Work Out Program!

Well I decided to change gym recently since our local YMCA
didn't really offer a variety of classes:(

I recently started taking a Les Mills Program Body Step!
I love it!! If you ever get the chance try it out!

It is supposed to burn anywhere from 400-800 calories
depending on your current weight and how hard you work!

I hope I was close to the 800:)

Well we are about 1 month away from the wedding and my
dress still fits good so hopefully with my new workout
program I will be right on track!

Let me know if you have any workout programs that really worked for you!

Garage Sale Find!

Tis' the Season for Garage Sales!
I love going and looking for hidden treasures:)
I recently got this chair for $1.00!
I really liked the style but was not wild about the seat cushion
so I broke out some black spray paint and bought a
$3.00 yard a fabric and suddenly had a very pretty chair for my
scrap book room :)

After:
I have a black & white scrap book theme so this chair fits in nicely!


You gotta love a bargin:)

Hair Styles I would like to Try!

Ok here I am, Please ignore my goofy smile:)
Most days I don't mind my hair and I still don't really mind it but
for some reason I think I need a chage:) 

Here are a few styles that I think might look nice, not a huge difference but
just something new!  Let me know what you think:)

I love the loose curls and side bang but I am not sure if it is too yound for me!

Carrie looks so pretty here!  I am not going blonde but I think the
style is so pretty and romantic.  I am thinking about doing something similar to this
for my wedding day!

Now this one here I really like! The bangs and loose
curls look so natural!  I really love the body that this hair style gives.

HELP!!  :)

Limited Dress Sale!

Well I had a wonderful weekend!

We went to my boss's 40th wedding anniversary party!!
It was a lot of fun!  Here is the outfit I wore.  Another
Limited deal:)  $23.99 for the dress but the belt was $30!!! 
I usually don't pay that much for accessories but the belt I have worn a bunch
lately with different outfits so I guess it was a good investment.  Or at least that
is what I tell myself:)

Well I was naughty and went shopping at the Limited with more
of those darn coupons they send to you!! Please stop sending them:)

Here are my new purchases but I did get both dresses for $70:)

This black & white combo is so classy together.
I think I will get a lot of use out of this dress over the years!

This was the other dress I got!  I thought about
using the black belt in the picture above to highlight the wait line!
There clothes have such a nice fit!
Now I need to start looking for some fun Summer Dresses:)

Sabrina Soto Watch Out!! :)

Well first of all this weekend was superbusy but I am so excited,
I was able to finish my final project for my staging course!!
I have high hopes of one day following in Sabrina Soto's foot steps
as a home stager!!  So far I have staged one house and it did sell in
19 days!!! Not too bad in this market:) 

If you don't know who Sabrina Soto is she has recently been seen
on Target comercials and several HGTV shows but my favorite
has to be Get it Sold!!

Home staging has to do with getting your house ready to sell.
I specialize in taking what home owners already have and rearranging it to make
it more appealing to prospective buyers. 

Listed below are some of the before and after pictures of the house I staged
that sold in 19 days!!



Master Bedoom Before:


Master Bedroom After:
No more outdated wallpaper border, new paint color
Added painted furniture from another room that just
needed a fresh coat of paint!


 Dining Room Before:
Outdated and Oversized furniture for the room 

Dining Room After:
New Color Scheme to make the room feel clean
and spacious!  A new light fixture and a smaller table
make the room warm and inviting!


Living Room Before:
Junky, Outdated
Living Room After:
Clean, fresh, and without Clutter!

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about
staging your home or interior re-design in  your own home, I would
love to hear from you:)

Happy Monday!

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum Las Vegas

During our stay in Vegas we visited
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum!
I can't get over how realistic everyone looked!

Me & my guy Matthew Mc Conaughey!

What if you Won Big??

Well lately it seems like everyone around me is winning money but me:)!!!  I recently went on a business trip and took along my best friend to Las Vegas and she won $1,000 on a Penny Machine!  (I will be posting pictures shortly of that trip)  Then I get a call this morning and my Mom and her neighbor which go on the lottery together every week just won a nice chunk of change:)  Not enough to retire on but a nice little winning!! I am so happy for her!

So what would you do if you won the lottery or a nice sum of money?  I have been dreaming about it all day long............................

5 Things I really want off of my Bridal Registry

At first I really didn't want to do a Bridal Registry because I thought we had everything we needed............ boy was I WRONG!!!  It was so much fun going around and clicking on items that you might not normally buy but would love to have!! Here are a few things that I really want off of my list!  Let me know if there is anything that you received at your shower or wedding that you really loved!! I would love to add those to my list!

1. 6 Ways to Use: Cake Stand!
2. Margarita Glasses, who doesn't want a set of these!!  This is probably my favorite drink so they will definitely get used!
3. New Curlers!!  If anyone ever seen the ones I currenlty use they would probably get me two sets of these!
4. Beverage Dispenser- I think this item would be so helpful at cookouts and parties!  NEED THIS:)
5. Wooden Hangers- We recently remodeled our closet and have started replacing all of our mix-matched hangers with new wooden hangers!
