Splash of Color

He is coming! Ah I can't believe it, a little less than 3 months and I will be holding my little baby. Tay and I went and registered at Target and I was completely unimpressed with their baby stuff. I am very picky and it just was not working out between Target and I which is unusual. I only  had about 20 items on my list. Well then this lady came up to us because she heard me saying how I don't like any of the car seats and she purposed that I go to BuyBuy Baby! Never heard of it but onward I went and discovered awesome stuff! I am so excited, they are owned by BedBath & Beyond, they have such wonderful things! They are located by South Town mall so if anyone is having a baby soon I highly recommend going, all the employs are very helpful!

Anyways..even after going to BuyBuy Baby I was not that impressed with their section of bedding but I found a cute Owl bedding that has orange, turquoise, and lime green colors (I normal am not into owls but sometimes you just got to break out of your comfort bubble which I have totally done ever since I have started design school). I really like the bright colors and all these ideas went flowing in my head! So I am excited to put my ideas in action! 

Brief interruption of cute chubby baby! :) 

I really don't care to pay 300 dollars for a changing station so I want to make my own I am on a look out but I want to put together/make something like this:

But in orange not yellow.

Well that is it for now, I just wanted to blog while my hubby was working on his lesson for church tomorrow but he is done now so that makes me done with blogging.

have a fabulous weekend!:)

Well that's Nice

Tay and I have been looking for a new bed spread.

We are very particular with our taste. We both agree we LOVE this whole look.

Although I would add a little color..like yellow:) 

COLOR is an amazing thing and I don't want our bedroom to look stark. 

It is not a Pintrest post with out babies.

 I like to see all the creative ways people come up with for baby pictures:)

Weddings: I love them and miss them! I really thought I was going to be a wedding planner one day..

but then something better happened..Tay:)

Mace spray gun- I had a dream I had this and then I saw it on pintrest. Someone is raiding my dreams!!

Really though..I want one. 

I love tramps! Especially ground level ones. Brings back so many fun memories in my childhood. 

Sleep overs were the best on the trampoline. 

I wonder if the ground level ones are safer then the high trampolines...I do remember a lot of my friends/family members breaking something or just getting hurt badly. 

Either way Tay and I will own one once we have a home. Maybe we will have a netted one so less people are prone to injury. 

Ha. I highly enjoy this picture. The facial expressions are just great. 

:) 

Well that is it for now folks!

I have some homework staring me down, threatening me pretty much. Better attend my duties. 

Till next post:)

Like A Pie In The Face

I took on the ridiculous task to build a chandelier. I really thought it would turn out

amazing. Unfortunately it is one of those projects you keep thinking..."even though I have spent so much time, money, and EFFORT..it will be worth it!"

Well I can tell that to the lame Jury because this Chandelier was pretty much a slap in my face.

I started from complete scratch and with my Dads awesome tools I was able to cut the metal and

drill holes that at least look half decent but the rest just kind of looks like a sad mess that I can't clean up.

I hung it in our room to see what Tay would say. I thought he would laugh but he actually likes it but he is just a sweetie trying to make me feel like I didn't completely

waste time and money.

(I don't know why everything I write is underlined..I can't take it off..maybe what I have to say is just so profound the computer feels it needs to be underlined, who knows?)

SCHOOL:

For one of my classes final projects the whole class was asked to design a condo in Park City

for a client. The teacher told us about the client:

She is;

50 yrs old

a chief

a business women

very athletic

a dancer

a skater

a singer

heavily involved in politicians

a role model to many

she has her own clothes line

(WOW this lady sounds amazing!)

She has recently been divorced and is getting married to him again.

SHE IS:

yep! It is Barbie, I was very excited to take on this task. We got to see the pictures Jordan Adler designed for the BARBIE Malibu Dream house here are some of the pictures of the house:

This is a barbie Chandelier made out of hair..Unique but kind of gross..

I love all the fun COLORS! He is such an amazing designer!

PINK:)

This house is so popular in Malibu they wanted us to design a condo in Party city that little girls could go tour. The clients were there and explained what they wanted in the design. They were going to come again next class to judge the whole class and pick their favorite and who ever designed the best condo would win and get the JOB.

Well you would think it would be all BARBIE HOT PINK but they gave us a wallpaper sample that was very vintage and had birds on it...NOT very barbie to me but I still thought I could make it barbie enough.

We only had one week.

I was so nervous and was hoping I could at least take 3rd place.

I usually dont' mind speaking in front of the class but I was super nervous.

When the clients named who got 3rd (I was sad to know it was not me) then 2nd and

then She said, 1st place goes to CRYSTAL NIELSEN, she got the job! Well she is lucky, wait..that is me!

I was very excited, until I found out they are NOT really building a condo in Park City. HA another joke on me. Tay called me and he asked if I got 1st place and I said yeah I won, he freaked out and said well what does this entail...and I am like nothing..I just won, I mean I guess you could call it a pride booster. Tay was as sad as I was ha.

They should have made it real so the winner could actually have experience but I guess it was fun for one week to actually think I was doing an important project.

Just like BARBIE..it was fake..beside the client part and the grade of course:)

My next post will be about CHRISTMAS!
