Here Comes the Sun

I have been thinking about house decor like crazy. What am I going to put here and what am I going to put there?

One thing, that I know FOR SURE, is I want the saying, Here Comes the Sun, in my bedroom.

Huh? Why? Well, you see all the vinyl wall sayings that are out right now, right? Most people put sayings like, Always remember to kiss me goodnight or All because two people fell in love. Love both those sayings by the way BUT, they have no special meaning to me.

Now, even before all of this vinyl word sayings became popular I always wanted to put, Here Comes The Sun, on a little plaque or something in our bedroom.

Again, Why? Well again, when most people have beautiful, romantic love songs for "Their Song" Ryan and I picked, Here Comes The Sun. Not really a slow dance song. Try it. It doesn't really work well, I know. Anyway, we both have always loved this song and even as young kids, who got pregnant and got married, we must have known that everything would work out. The sun will always rise, a new day. Each day we can embark on a new journey, each year and now as we are reaching the end of our second decade together, each decade. Whatever issues arise we can count on the sun to shed a little light on us.


For me personally, the song also means that Ryan is my sun. He is my light.

Not sure what is up with the mushy, cheesefest posts. I just feel so overwhelmed lately. Our new home is almost finished. My baby is graduating and then 10 days later she will turn 18. We have all been sick. I have a 21ish hour car ride coming up with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I have to pack up and clean this house yet, can't really move into the new one. It all has me weepy.

BUT,

Here Comes the Sun!

Didn't even think about that, Here comes the sun, after all these next crazy filled weeks until, I reread my post looking for mistakes. Cool. That's when I added the BUT, Here it comes!

I picked up this 8x10 frame the other day at the thrift store. I liked that the center panel is raised.

I sanded it a little.

Then, I painted a little blue here.

And a little black there and then I actually added some black to my blue paint to dull it down a tad. And repainted the blue.

Then, I just printed out a J on plain old paper and covered it with a few layers of mod podge. It looks so cute and is going to look great in our new bedroom.

Vintage Keys

I won these a few weeks ago from Kristin over at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia. I can't wait to use them in my new bedroom. I gave her the idea as using them as curtain tie backs and that is exactly how I plan to use them. Of course, pics will be posted as soon as that is possible. June sometime probably.

She is so wonderful and has the best design ideas on her blog. She understands that we are all in a state of penny pinching, so she creates items that are both frugal and beautiful at the same time. You know she is doing something right when she just began blogging back in January and already has almost 400 followers. Congrats on that Kristin. You Go Girl. Thanks again!
