my bookshelf and dresser both came out fabulously! :D my room is definitely not finished but here's a little sneak peak for your viewing pleasure:
once a boring white bookshelf and a separate brown shelving unit
now a light green super bookcase structure!
cost: $12 for spray paint at walmart, shelves free from mom :)
Before: a boring wall and plain brown dresser
now a bright, vintage looking dresser with great accessories!
cost: $12 spray paint at walmart, $10 for the clock, $10 for the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building pictures together, small drawer set was free from mom!
don't they just look too great for words?? :D i'm honestly so proud of myself because i really didn't think they'd turn out this well! but it's all coming together! can't wait to show you all the rest of the pieces!
I still need to work on my comforter but i'm thrilled about the bright teal color sheets i bought to sew together and the diy lace buttons that i'll put on it to make all the blankets and stuffing stay together! I also still need to put up those thrift store picture frames with quotes or pictures in each one and then i have an idea for something to put around my mirror too but i'm wondering how much i'll really be able to get done over the next couple days! my goal is to have it finished by tuesday! i can do it though- i mean i've already done so much in just two days i think a couple more will be plenty :) plus, my bestfriendloversisterforeverandever aka miss emma vidmar is coming over tomorrow for a playdate/ laundry day/ assisting the room renovation! she's so artsy and indie, it'll be a cinch with her :)) i can't wait!
today mostly what i did was work and laugh around with jasmine which is always the best of course! I came home and cleaned more of my room and set up these lovely pieces before taking a nap... for four hours. i came upstairs and my mom said i should've just stayed asleep so i would've slept from like 6 pm til 8 am tomorrow morning. i didnt think that was a good idea so i woke up for some celery and peanut butter instead :) and to write in my blog of course! priorities priorities mother!
i thought i'd write down a couple more things about myself- some things that i absolutely love so i'm not such a stranger!
- i'm obsessed with any point from 1942-1969. The fashion, the music, the camaraderie between everyone, the amazing discoveries and inventions. Think about it: everyone was still dressing up wearing pencil skirts and heels, with curled hair and men were always in suits with hats and cute ties! every day. not just every once in a while and everyone just treated each other much better. plus there was the record player, the trip to the moon, the invention of motown, Pearl Harbor (which i know wasn't the best thing ever but it made our country even stronger!) and elvis and so much dancing! i could go on for hours.
- i love food. it's a problem really- it's my best friend and my worst enemy and i know i need to just relax about it but i just love it so much! making a big fresh salad with mangoes and strawberries and spinach, maybe some grilled chicken and crushed cinnamon almonds! yum! but then there's the ever so wonderful and irresistible cookie dough packed ice cream from my best friends ben and jerry. again, see the problem? i just can't help it :)
- i adore broadway shows and musicals. i would stay at home watching fred astaire and ginger rodgers dance and sing all day if i could. bing crosby, syd charisse- they're real triple threats! no one has that kind of talent nowadays. and don't even get me started on all the musicals: west side story, hairspray, lion king, rent, guys and dolls, my fair lady, wicked! ugh. again, obsessed.
- bags and sunglasses. for some reason, i basically collect those. no matter how many of either one i have, i seem to just keep having a need for more! but i love them! for bags i seem to always be drawn to brown, even though honestly most of my closet is in coordination with black but i'm learning to put brown and black together so it's not so much a problem anymore. and with sunglasses- i just think i have a cute face for them and my eye doctor said i need to wear them because my eyes are weaker in sunlight so i figure that gives me an excuse to by a ton of pairs! :D
- i have a lot to say. and i always take twenty million years to say it. i like words, and i like expressing myself which is why i like dance so much i think because it finally gives me a chance to not talk and just get it all out.
this is so long, i'm sorry. i'm going to bed i promise :)
what have you conquered today? did you have a great time doing something or meeting someone?
goodnight my little ones! great cheers, zero fears!
Loves, Hayley Lynn
