I can't believe I used to paint everyday!

So as you know, I have moved home. Since a lot of my stuff was already out of my room since I took it to college, it seemed like prime time to paint.

Below is a progression of clearing out my room to the new paint and setup. The pictures look a little pixelated, I don't know why. I apologize. The top picture is a more accurate color match of the walls, the ones below it they look really blue.



Now I also have a new comforter that is not pictured, but it is also black (surprise, surprise) so it looks relatively the same. Though in these photos the one I had looks kind of gray because it was so faded.



My bookcase looks so sad an empty :-(. It's a little more filled out now. I just need some wall art (courtesy of Lizzy Whalen, perhaps?) and it will be complete.

"You know it was a good 21st Birthday when you wake up to someone passed out in your bathroom" -My mom

This is a few weeks old at this point but I wanted to share the fantastic things I made for my friend Meghan's 21st birthday!

I picked up the mugs for a DOLLAR a piece, got some puffy paint and went to work. They looked awesome and were a perfect party favor for a 21st birthday. I also made sure to wash them before painting them just in case they don't survive the dishwasher. They will get at least one use.

Then I also made a fun mug for the next morning for the birthday girl.

It says "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will tech you to keep your mouth shut. -Ernest Hemingway" (I don't know why the pics uploaded backwards. I'm still getting the hang of this)

That's all I have to share right now. But I just painted my room and I'll share that transformation soon too.
