The very first OlioBoard that I made was for one of our spare bedrooms. Right now this room is where all of our miscellaneous things are stored. It also still has the crazy crayola colors on the walls from the previous owners...our poor house guests probably have nightmares of rogue Sesame Street characters when they sleep over...not so good :/ Here is what I came up with...
I am OBSESSED with this white bookcase from Ikea. It's 6'x6' and is perfect for displaying picture frames and holding baskets, folders, books, etc. It would definitely be the focal point of the room and can store so much! LOVE :) Desk is also from Ikea. Instead of a boring old leather chair for the desk, I'm thinking it would be more fun to find a vintage chair and reupholster it with a bright yellow print. I really like the combination of the teal wall and the yellow chair :) I also plan on framing old magazine advertisements from the 50's and 60's for cheap, vintage wall art. It could be due to the fact that I have watched every Mad Men episode way too many times...but I think vintage ad's are really interesting.
So there is my OlioBoard for spare bedroom #1, a.k.a the office :) More boards to follow!

I came home the other day to this amazing book! He compiled all the handwritten letters, motomail letters and cards from his last deployment and I had tears in my eyes from the minute I opened it. I knew that he saved everything, but seeing it all displayed like this really means a lot. This is definitely something I will cherish forever ♥ I feel like our relationship is as strong as it is today, in part, because of the deployments. You learn to appreciate the little things and ignore the trivial stuff. Communication was huge and our little moments here and there made every second that much more special. I also formed an amazing bond with my incredible in-laws during this time and I am very grateful for that ♥
