Things I'm Loving Thursday : Pops of Yellow

Yellow is so happy. That's probably why I love it. Everyone needs more happy, right?! So unless you don't like being cheerful... you should totally add a pop of yellow to your home. That's all I have to say this week.  :) Have a happy, cheery, sunny yellow Thursday!

Happy Anniversary, Darren. Thank you for loving me just the way I am, making me laugh every day, and for giving me more than I could ever need. I'm so lucky to be your wife. I still can't believe I am the girl that gets to spend the rest of her life by your side!
 

I Heart StickyGrams

Have you heard of StickyGram?! I stumbled across their site a couple weeks ago and couldn't resist giving it a try. So what is it? StickyGram turns your Instagram images into lovely little magnets. Each StickyGram is 50mm x 50mm which is approximately the same size as they appear on your iPhone. Stick them on your fridge, locker or any magnet loving surface. They are only $14.99 for a pack of 9 pictures and shipping is always free! My first pack just arrived yesterday and I am in love!

 

 

They are so stinkin' cute! I can't believe how clear they are too. They look just as good on the magnets as they do on my phone. The pictures I took don't really show how clear they are in person.

 

You NEED to try this... and I have a coupon code to share with you! Use the FRIENDMOLP to get $2 off your first purchase! StickyGrams are great for kids or teens, dads (Father's Day is coming up soon), and grandparents! Really anyone who puts pictures on their fridge will love them... I think that's probably 99% of America. By the way, this is not a sponsored post. I just really love StickyGrams.

Painted Birdhouse Makeover

Most of the projects that I do instantly inspire me the moment I see them. I'm a visionary like that. I can literally look at a piece of junk and know how I want to make it new again right away. This birdhouse... not so much. At first I thought it was the color that I didn't like, but maybe it was the vines that were wrapped around the bottom? Regardless, for reasons I can't be sure of, it didn't grab me and beg for a makeover at first like most of my projects do. It was my mom's and when she moved it went in the yard sale pile. As a joke, my father-in-law put it out in front of my house to see if I would notice (I'm a woman, so of course I noticed). I left it there out of pure laziness, but after awhile it started to grow on me and eventually it called my name.

Those of you that subscribe to HGTV Magazine may have noticed the coupons for free Valspar paint from Lowes that have been in the last two issues. When the hubs and I picked up our free paint we chose a bright coral. When we got home from the store... bazinga! It hit me! The birdhouse would be PERFECT in that shade! And the rest is history...

Don't. You. Just. LOVE. It?! I think it's totes adorbs and it was just the color pop that I needed in front of our otherwise neutral home exterior! So thanks, father-in-law. Your attempt to be annoying turned into something I now adore!
