Favorite Project- His and Hers
/Today I am happy to introduce you to Erin from His and Hers. I honestly don't remember how I started reading Erin's blog but I stick around because her and her husband are tackling some unique DIY projects..and Erin cracks me up. You can't help but like a girl that makes a pillow to celebrate her husband's profession..as a pharmacist...
My husband and I bought our first home in February, therefore entering into a never-ending series of projects, projects and more projects. And I love it! (Rick does, too, especially when I feed him doughnuts before sweetly asking him if he thinks the drippy plaster finish can be scraped off of the ceiling.)
Michelle asked me to share a favorite project, but I couldn't decide, and nobody was feeding me doughnuts at the time as a source of persuasion, so I narrowed it down to a few and have prepared a lengthy dissertation on why they are my favorites, complete with references and proper citation. Are you ready?
1. Revamped bathroom light fixtures--courtesy of applesauce jars. This is actually our most recent DIY project, and was inspired by a trip to my neighbors' recycling bin. I used to do that a lot, and my husband used to pretend he didn't know me a lot. Waiting for Rick to put on a disguise before we could go for a walk got old, so I've since moved on to bigger and better hobbies like crocheting socks, interpretive dance, and doing U-turns on my way to work to pick pretty bottles out of non-neighbors' recycling.
2. Our DIY storage ottoman--which we built and upholstered ourselves for less than $50. It's a great place for storing things, like your neighbors' recycling and the crocheted socks that you gave your husband and he pretended to lose.
3. Lastly, I want to be sentimental and share the framed lyrics I made for Rick for our recent 3 year anniversary. He puts up with a lot as a result of my project-driven mindset, and it was only right that I make something nice for him. I made three different frames with different lyrics in them, but the one below hails from "True Love's Kiss" of the movie Enchanted, which I practically have memorized. (Yes, I am that 25 year-old. Disney rocks my crocheted socks.) Rick loves it when I break into song in the middle of the yard. I say it gives the neighbors one more reason to not find it odd at all when they spy my feet sticking out of their recycling bins.
