From the Window to the Wall...

Sometimes I can't believe how effing boring I am . I mean this before wall below, WTH? It was inspired by Pinterest but come on, my execution was terrible. LOL

 I am much happier with the "after" wall and will add more to it as I find stuff. The whole living room has a black and gold and teal theme and to be honest this picture doesn't really do it justice but It's my blog and Ill post if I want to. I cant wait to keep adding crap to it. 

Before and After Part 1

I've been revamping my life lately. Change is good and I always feel like you'll keep being the same person you are as long as you keep doing what you've always done so do some different shiz now and then.  So anyway, fall is coming, I HOPE, and in honor of my life makeover I figured I'd start tweaking the house. So here is one of the walls in the living room. It started off as functional but looked pretty boring so a color injection later, this is what happened. 

So now it's ready for fall with a lot less crap to dust. I hate dusting. 

 A sweet little side view. 

 Looking at this picstitched before and after below,  just shows you what a stab of color can do. It is well with my soul. Namaste. 

Play Me a Song Piano Girl

Last year for my 31st birthday I went out and bought myself a gift that's a little random to some people, for me, not so much. This is a 1930 Hobart M. Cable Upright piano that had been stored or moved to be stored since it was purchased. It had a few dings and chips and scratches but nothing that didn't make it lovable. 

Fast forward to yesterday August 25, 2013, I decided that I was inspired by all the painted pianos on Pinterest and wanted some collah up in my life. So I trekked on over to the Home Depot and got hung up on two teal colors. I couldn't decide on the two until I read their names. One was Surfer and the other Mermaid Treasure. Mermaids for the win. Makes me think of sweet Callie Clifford and all her cuteness. 

 

 So to make a long story short, I painted an 83 year old piano and I have to say that I'm completely obsessed with the outcome. It's a whole new bright spot on my day. 

 It needs to dry completely before I decorate it but it's doing the job making me happy just like that. 

Bath Time for Everyone

People bring me random stuff all the time. Here Leah, here's this gnarly thing from my house, have it. Well to those people I say, Thank you! My most recent afternoon project started out life as a lamp from Bailenes house. It ended yesterday afternoon as a bird bath in my jasmine garden. Pretty cute. Now to catch the birds using it.
