Bedroom Makeover!

So, one of my goals for 2013 is to blog more!  Before the new year, I was blogging consistently at least once a week.  I want to challenge myself this year to blog more, and blog consistently.  Ive come up with a weekly schedule for blogging and am really going to try to stick with it!  The fact that I am publicly announcing this will give me a reason to stick to it! 🙂  I may be pushing myself too hard with this, but thankfully, its a personal goal so if I fail :/ I will only be letting myself down!  SO, without further adieu, here is my blogging schedule for this year:

Monday-Manic Monday 🙂

Tuesday-Black and White photos

Wednesday-Whatever!  Could be anything…or nothing at all! 🙂

Thursday-sessions/weddings

Friday-52 week project  Ive been wanting to do one of these for a while now, and now I have an excuse to!  Wish me luck! 😉

Sunday-havent decided on this yet, and it may be that I dont do anything….we’ll see

So what do you think??  I would LOVE to hear suggestions and critiques on my new blog posts for 2013.  Please leave comments, I would appreciate it! 🙂

Im also implementing something called 15 on 15.  Im probably really late on this, but I learned about it through another photographer who I follow.  If anyone is interested in doing this along with me I would LOVE for you to!  Please comment at the end of this post if you would like to participate and feel free to post your entries on my facebook business page!  I would love to follow along with you, and please tell your family and friends about it too!  It is going to be a fun project and if we could get at least 15 people to commit, how awesome would that be?!?!  Basically what this means is that on any given day during the month, you will snap 1 photo during each hour of the day.  For me, the “15” works out great because we are all up by 7 am and the kids are in bed by 9pm.  Some days it could be more or less so the pictures will vary…not a problem! 🙂  Then, on the 15th of every month, blog/post the images.  Hope that makes sense!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! 🙂

Yay!  I am really excited about new things to come and am looking forward to challenging myself in new ways.  🙂

And since today is “Whatever Wednesdays” I am dedicating this blog post for my bedroom makeover.  I wish I had done this for my living room, because that was a HUGE transformation!  Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos, but I learned from my mistakes! 🙂  My next big project for our house is my bedroom!  This June, we will have been in our home for EIGHT years now!  Sadly, I have done NOTHING with our room….until NOW!  I am finally ready for a transformation!!  I am so excited because I finally know exactly what I want….its just going to take time…and lots of it!  I know I am posting this now, but to be honest, this project will not be finished for MONTHS!  Money is one big factor, but I also have found that when I do things a little bit at a time, I am able to….be more picky, if you will, with the decisions I make with purchases.  Thankfully, I have 80% of the furniture and will have some fun projects coming up soon. 🙂  I cannot wait for the big reveal!  Below is a “before” of our bedroom…PLEASE excuse the mess!  Unfortunately, our bedroom is the room where all the things go that do not have a place in our home.  It has become our junk room to say the least!  I am sure that many families can relate to this, but I am so ready for a change!  Now that I finally have my living room in order, I would love to have a haven to retreat to at the end of the day.  I have a feeling that once this is all done, I will be spending much more time in my room! 🙂
