Trash the Dress - Maui Edition



Gahhhh!!! I just looove these photos so, so, so much.  Rhett, Tristen and I went to Maui last week.  The day prior to leaving I went to my sisters wedding dress fitting and came home talking about, for the three hundred and third time, how my dress was sitting in a box in the garage and dangit! I really wish we could do a trash the dress shoot and give my dress a proper goodbye.  Cause sentiments aside, all this dress is ever gonna do is take up space in the garage.  About 12 hours before we were to leave to Maui Rhett said "why don't you bring your dress to Maui.  Let's do this trash shoot your always talking about."  I was undecided, it was such a last minute idea, but when we woke up at 2am to catch our early morning flight, the decision was made to check an extra bag and throw the dress in.  And I am SO.GLAD.WE.DID.  Gosh, I just love these photos. Love Them!  This one above is probably going to be the one printed and framed, but look at all of them!!! I love them all.  And I love Rhett the mostest.  This guy is always making my dreams and ideas come true.  Thanks babe. You're the BEST. 

Deverie of DC Maui Photography did the shoot.  I just love the moments she captured.  If you're ever in Maui and need a photographer, hit this girl up!  She's awesome.

DIY Faux Brick Wall from Lowes




And with this, another DIY faux wall was born! I love, love, love me a brick wall.  I mean, who doesn't, right.  Right?  They are amazing.  The tens of minutes that turn into hours upon hours of searching industrial spaces on Pinterest inevitably include dozens upon dozens of delicious, textured, distressed, exposed brick walls. And I want one.  But.  I don't have the time or space or dolla-dolla bills for one.  Enter the "faux brick" search, and up popped these panels from Lowes.



And at this price tag, we were in business!! 


my honey-does-it-best took all the measurements and concluded we needed 5 panels to do the job.




seriously.  Rhett's expressions kill me.  :D 






... it was love!

the tape outlines are where the couch/sofa bed will go


with a mask and a kiss,
we got started.




















  Room changer!  
Without a doubt.



Up Next.. white washing/distressing, otherwise known as second-guessing,
send a million and one texts to my DIY'er Queen of a SIL, we can always paint over it, torture!
