brown and pink

so i had a problem because we are moving into a new apartment this week (which we are super siked about by the way because it is way better than the apartment that we are in! but more about that later...) anyways. moving into a new apartment and the only downside is that we have a lot less closet space in the new apartment and we have a ton of blankets in our closet that i had no idea what to do with. my friend mal, who just got married, lives in the same apartment complex had the same problem and she got a cute basket/coffee table for her blankets. but i couldnt find a basket that big in our price range right now so i had to get a little creative and came up with this guy for our new apartment......

not going to lie......didnt know exactly how my idea was going to turn out but..... i love it!!!!!!

so all i did was take a big tub that we had been using for storage and covered it with fabric (brown and pink....i know. i cant help it...they are totally my favorite!!!) i put some quilt matting underneath the fabric to help get rid of the tub shape and make it a little more kooshy. bobby was even happy about how good it turned out and he usually doesnt care about this stuff haha. it is the perfect box for blankets and i have been feeling quite proud of my craft and wanted to show it off!

we are moving into our apartment on thursday and we are so excited! we are going to be living in the same ward as our good friends the judy's and our new apartment is going to rock! we are going to be on the first floor and we get a dishwasher and a washer and dryer! cant wait!!! i'll put pictures of our new apartment up when we get settled in.

right now our life is all about packing. the summer semester is over and bobby and i both rocked our classes even with our busy summer of traveling. we cant wait to move and then take a vaca to iowa the first week of august to visit with bobbys family! we love both of our families and love being able to take vacations with them! this last picture is of us just hanging out at the drive in...waiting for the movie to start. we love our life! :)
