Paint

FIRST OFF! Here is the interview marykae did with me: Sarah could probably beat you up if she had to.

I have learned that I speak in run-on sentences, and greatly overuse the word "super" when I've just woken up and haven't had my coffee. But some guy already made a comment about how I seem cool, so I guess I should cut myself some slack. AND he also said that I have good design skills, and that's based on my hideously outdated design portfolio, so YAY <3

My bedroom is on its way to looking swank, little by little...! This is less than half of the room. The ceiling, trim, door, etc. will all stay white, but the rest of the unpainted wall shown there will be in the purple:



I really hope there are some fun-and-cheap matchy fabrics at the textiles show in Vegas. After I paint, I'll set up my sewing machine in the green nook, and then I can make curtains! I could get more ambitious and make a bedspread, too, but I'll probably just buy one eventually. I also have a cool canopy idea for the bed (a.k.a. Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Photo) that I need good textiles for, so if I can just get textiles for the curtains and the canopy, I'll be happy.

I also keep lingering near the potted flowers and plants selection when I'm at Trader Joe's, which probably means I'll get a plant soon, too. Fortunately, I know for a fact that those are only a few bucks. Now that I'll be in a clutter-free space, the likelihood of me forgetting to water the flowers and subsequently killing them is *vastly* reduced.

AND, then I'll work up some nice black-and-white prints of my own photos for the purple walls, since there'll be more empty space to break up there. I'm also thinking about painting an interesting and possibly plant-like pattern growing out of one color and into the other, if I have enough paint left over.

Runting around for cheap and easy ways to make my room pretty has been really enjoyable, so far. I AM EXCITED.

I think I already said this but for cheap textiles I haven't been able to beat Ross.

I'll definitely have to look there when I go to get sheets and such for the bed! I probably won't feel like making any of that stuff, and I'd probably also pick the wrong kinds of fabrics. It's one thing when you only have to look at it, but it's another when you'll be encased in it while you sleep every night.

They have some super nice sheets... and always much cheaper than anywhere else. I worked at bed bath and beyond so I know way to much about sheets. And pans. And knives.
