wannabe antlers

as you all know we moved into a new to us home at the end of may. i have been working 'round the clock to make this house our home. i don't know about you but every time we move (and we've moved a lot in our fifteen years of marriage, TWELVE TIMES) i always get the living spaces that people see in order first. ALWAYS always leaving my bedroom for last. 

the other day i was browsing my "FOR BED" pinterest board and came across the below pin. i pinned it 23 weeks ago. ( I'm a habitual pinner. i'm working on it) and i fell in love with it all over again.
i love the simplicity of this room. in my opinion, bedrooms should be calm. a safe haven if you will. a place that you could stay in forever. ok I'm sure you get the point. the wreath above the bed is my favorite part. its made of antlers. i want it in a bad way. but lets be real, real antlers are expensive and hunting deer is not something we come by easily where i live. SO i wracked my little brain and it came to me "buy a grapevine wreath and spray paint it white" so thats exactly what i did. 


i used a 40% off coupon from the news paper at michaels and got this bad boy 


i went back the next day and used another 40% coupon from my michaels.com and bought the spray paint. in my haste i forgot to take a picture of that. worlds worst diy-er ever. 
i used design master colortool spray in flat white. 


i still have a long way to go before our room is complete, but i love how the wreath turned out. it has the same organic feel as the antlers. now, i sort of wish i'd gone a little bit bigger. 


do you use coupons? 

also i've been wanting to change my blog name. is that blog suicide?
