The past couple of days I have been wanting to change up some things & make them a little bit spicier! Whether it be re-doing my bathroom, my sister's old room, my room, or this blog.. I'm going to find time do all the above in the next couple of weeks/months. Being crafty has not been my #1 thing, but here lately I've been finding neat things I could do to spice things up.
With my room being very.very.very small, I've tried to find ways to make it a room I would never want to leave. Since I've lived in the same house, and slept in the same room for the past 21 years, It is starting to become old. My Mom and I have been wanting to move out for years. I'm simply just ready for something new. Not necessarily new new, but new to me. :) I've looked at apartments and houses for rent.. but nothing seems to catch my eye. Honestly, I just don't think I could spend money on a home..right now. I could, I just don't really want to.
Last year I finally re-painted my room to a chocolate brown and have turquoise accents. So that is one thing check marked into spicing things up in my room. I would like to get new picture frames, furniture(I'm currently using what use to be my grandmothers bedroom suite), a new computer desk,curtains for not one. two. but three windows,a mirror for the back of my door,and lamps. I've also even thought about doing a little section of magnet paint to post pictures on with a magnet. I think that would be neat and different. They also make chalk paint, but I think it would be messy. It'd be cute for a child's room, though!
With my bathroom I've been thinking of painting it a La Fonda Fireberry color (see below) and get either black or white accents. When my sister was in high school, she made this tall shelf like thing that we are currently using in the bathroom for storage with hand towels,wash clothes,nail polish/remover,extra toilet paper,etc. & I would like to paint it either white or black.(Whichever color would look best with the main color) I would want for my dad to make a place to drop my blow dryer,curling iron, and straightener in like they have in salons. With only one plug outlet, things get in the way! I haven't really seen anything to give him an idea of exactly what I want, so if you of know of something.. lemme know! :) That's really the only thing I want to change to the bathroom. Oh! and the shower head. The main reason I want to change the shower head is due to buying one of those shelf-like-things that hang from the shower head, well the one we have is too short so the shelf-like-thing doesn't hang right. My luck, of course.

Then, I would like to paint my sister's room. Right now, it's a horrible bright yellow color. Way too bright and it's been like that since she was in high school.. definitely needs some updating! Ha I've thought about a Purple Royalty or a pretty green. I've always wanted to fix it up to be a hang out room so I can actually have people over and not have to sit in the living room or my bedroom. I would have to buy a lot of room decor to fix this room up. Trying to look online for ideas, it's not easy!

On to this blog, if you haven't noticed.. I have added cute fonts to my titles, made them pretty colors, added a signature (I'm at work but once i get home I'm going to make an even cuter one!) added a blog divider and some new gadgets. I found a cute website (Kevin and Amanda) who had a post on how to change title colors and download new fonts for your blogger. & I recently noticed that the couple is from Huntsville.. kinda weird! I love how she explained it and it was very simple. If you're interested in doing so click here . Her post is very helpful. I've also enjoyed reading her other posts especially the ones on blog design - photography - and photoshop. Here lately I've been very interested in photography. So much that I think I'm going to take photography classes this Fall at Calhoun. I'm even going to ask the photography that takes Isabella's pictures (Kelly Clark Baugher Photography) if I could tag a long on some of her sessions. Hopefully, she wouldn't mind! :) So those blog posts from Amanda have been helpful. Hopefully I can spice this blog up! :)
I'm going to be adding pictures of what the bedrooms & the bathroom currently look like and will show my slow progress of spicing em up! :)
