this weekend was veryyy relaxing- borderline boring. but i think it's what i needed. i don't feel like such a slug anymore today :) it was cool and rainy both days which is a great excuse to sit inside and do nothing! so after my hair appt on saturday, we didnt do much except eat and watch movies.
sunday we emerged early to hang out with colin's dad. we watched some soccer and got some lunch (yum!) then returned to the apartment to watch the football game- go skins! 2-0! ;) and once colin left, i needed to get out of the house so i went to my go to place of entertainment- target! i got some wine and snacks and ran into some xmas lights during my adventure ( i LOVE christmas and lights and all that jazz) so i was feeling inspired. i grabbed a couple boxes of regular old white string lights and began to scheme...
they were under $3 a box which is amazing so i knew i had to do something fun. i decided to spruce up my bed since i don't have a headboard or any art above the bed. i simply attached the two strings and did a vertical zig zag pattern above my bed from mattress to ceiling (these lights don't get hot, so i dont have to worry about them lighting my pillows on fire.) and there you have it- the easiest, most inexpensive ($5 and change) and festive headboard you've ever seen!
add a few homemade pillows and it feels very cozy, yet glamourous ;) that was my crafty sunday... i think i will make this a new tradition! yay :)

Love the picture of the lights surrounding the bed. So pretty and whimsical!
