I’m still pinning like a crazy person – constantly looking for new, beautiful ideas to fill our new home with. Here are my favorite bedroom pins this week.

DIY coat rack
It has been a busy weekend so far. Yesterday Moseyman and I trekked out to the lumber store and picked up some wood so I could start working on some projects for our entryway. As Apartment Diet would say… “start with a corner.” So I picked the corner where our coat hook and bench would go.
Today I worked on our DIY coat rack. I bought some wood that would make a pretty backboard, then asked the nice hardware store worker to cut my wooden dowel into 5 3″ pieces to make ‘hooks’ or ‘pegs’ as I call them.
Once I sanded, glued and screwed everything together, I painted the tips of the pegs with orange-red acrylic paint and voila!
It’s a start right? Next project coming up… the DIY bench!

and the decorating begins…
Happy weekend everyone! What are your plans? Moseyman and I are going to try to make some headway on making our new apartment feel more like a home. Tonight we hung the loooong white linen curtains in our new living room and bedroom. They still need curtain rings so they slide more easily but it’s great to have something up finally! I can’t wait to keep going with the rest of the house!

winning
Guess who’s film won the grand prize at the Fribourg International Film Festival? That’s right… Moseyman’s film won. Yahoooooo!
Back from Switzerland. What a perfect trip we had! Here are a few pics from it. Hope you’re having a wonderful Springy week!

window seat & a new place!
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog because a few weeks ago we moved into our brand new, very own, apartment. Although everything is new, it still needs a lot of love and attention to make it feel like home. Making it feel like home is actually taking much much longer than I thought it would.
The first thing I really want to do (besides get a new couch, a rug, TV table, bedside tables and decorate the balcony) is get a window seat built in to warm up our floor to ceiling windows. I’m dreaming of a long bench with drawer storage – here’s my inspiration so far. I hope to share my extremely slow transformation on my blog so tune in (very slowly).

fribourg film festival
Moseyman and I are heading to Switzerland in a few weeks to hang out and watch his film premier in Europe’s Fribourg Film Festival. We’ve never been to Switzerland so we’re looking forward to it. Anyone have any recommendations for great Swiss veggie food, places to stay, Wintry-Spring things to see, etc? We’ll do our research but wanted to hear from you guys first.
