Decorating my new house

I have been a busy bee getting my house decorated, and again my mom has been a huge help. I try to get a few things every paycheck so my husband is content. Here are a few of my ideas:
These plate were inspired by Rod Works. I dont know where I want them yet. I just know I wanted them. Right now they are on top of my pantry. I dont know if I am a huge fan of them up there. We'll have to see.
 These were also a purchase from Rod Works. They were 50% off and since I am obsessed with green, I had to have them. They are on top of my coat closet. My entire house has these little in-coves that are tricky to decorate without being tacky.
Going down my hall you look at this beauty. I made her myself!  One problem, it's bowing... The candle holder matches the frame. That was a Hobby Lobby purchase!
 
This is on the floor of my spare bedroom. I am trying to see if it looks good and if I like it, I want to put it on one of my hall walls. They will all be connected with ribbon. If you look close you can see the wanna be ribbon.  It needs some work but I want to make that wall the picture wall of fame and just go all out with pictures!



These are my bathrooms. The master is done is red/green/tan. The main bath is done in green/white. I turned my hand towel hanger into a toilet paper hanger! I got most of this stuff from Rod Works and Hobby Lobby. I just love those stores!


This has been my Halloween craft! My mother-in-law has a Cricut and we have been playing. My next Halloween project is making Mr. & Mrs. Frankenstein. They are super cute!

Ok, so moving into a new house has been so much fun! Especially because my mom is the queen of decorating and I just love having her decorations in my house. So here are my mom and I's first project for the new house. Take a look.
This was an ordeal. First we spent a fortune on flowers and a vase at Tia Pan, then we made a stop at Hobby Lobby and their flowers were 50% off! So we bought more flowers and took everything back to Tia Pan. We ended up saving $60!
This little creation was also 50% off! We took a flower display that is supposed to go on your mantel or something of that sort and we folded it in thirds and zip tied it to this iron rod thingy! We put our "G" in the center but it doesn't show up so well.
My husband says he feels like he is walking into the Garden of Eden with all of these flowers in the entry. My mom also gave me her old table and mirrors that we painted black to match the house but in the process we broke a mirror! Oops... All in all it turned out really cute and I just love what the woman does! She missed her calling in life!
