The Daily Beef: DIY

What break from school would be complete for me...without some DIY? I love do it yourself projects.

Jenty called while I was in the middle of working on this shelf and the conversation went something like this:

Jenty: Beeeffffff!!!! Girl what are you doing?

Me: BIG JANETYYYYYY! Painting. What about you?

Jenty: Of course you are...

My little "DIY's" have kind of become a joke with my friends...but I don't care.

I got a TV (for my room) for Christmas. I was most excited. I really can't wait to be all snuggly in my bed while watching TV. Well if you give a girl a TV...she's going to need something to put it on. Family to the rescue.

Isn't it great? The molding is really unique and fun. I looked at it and knew I wanted to paint it gray. Why? I'm not sure but it seemed fitting. I also wanted to cover some foam with fabric to put in the back of the shelves. I found a really great rust and turquoise diamond print linen fabric. It was just right!

Big difference, huh? I really love the way it turned out. I hope these pictures do it justice. My room is the size of a large shipping box, my bed is the size of a ship, and my lamps have blue halogen bulbs (yeasss...no over head lighting)...so you get what you get.

I traveled back to the Big City today. As a gypsy. My car was absolutely loaded down. So much so that three lovely individuals asked me if I was moving in. No. Just came back from Christmas. Here was my passenger today

Btheway...this is only the shelf (from the night before take off). I also had hanging clothes, four suitcases, a cooler, groceries, a laundry basket, TV, and a bunch of other things that we had to MacGyver into the car.

Yessssir. Buckled in.

After getting all my dreck inside and unloaded I was exhausted. Like real tired. Actually did feel similar to the day I moved in. Here are some adds to the apartment from Christmas...if you're interested.
