Finally. After *seven* months. My bedroom is complete, {organic} carpet and all…


All I gotta do now is re-hang my artwork.
Woot!

Filed Under home decor, pity party | 2 Comments

Alright, some people have been asking about my house. You know, the water damage and mold issue that arose almost *three* months ago now? Yeah, that. Remember?

Well, it continues. And here are some pictures as my way of throwing a full fledged pity party for myself on this, the eve of Thanksgiving.

Here is my bathroom ceiling…

bathroom ceiling is still a hole

~~~

The only consolation here is that I was able to install a nice new can light to replace the ugly 60s fixture and a ceiling fan to aid in avoiding any of this happening again. Silver lining there. I do my best to find them.

Here is the current state of my hallway…

hallway is disarray

~~~

I’m thinking it’s styled in a very modern, messy, industrial, sort of “coming-undone” style, to match the crumbling state of the economy. Hip, I know. I’m an artist, ok?

And my bedroom is like this…

bedroom floor dismantled bedroom deconstructed

~~~

That’s the floor on the left and the East wall on the right. You can see that it is styled in much the same fashion as the hallway…

Finally, I am still sleeping in my dining room, which hardly helps me want to make my bed…

I am over it and I’d like your pity now please. Tomorrow I will go back to being grateful…

I heart these prints…

I also love the website “etsy.com” where everything is handmade!

my kitchen cabinetry came with very unfortunate knobs on the drawers and doors…but I finally gave them a little face lift.

before…
knobs: before
*trust me, don’t let the little flowers fool you. granny? are you there?

after…
knobs: after
*and don’t let my poor photography fool you. very simple and fresh.

knobs: much better

it’s amazing what 34 knobs can do in so little time!
too bad it’s not as inexpensive just to replace the cabinetry altogether.

it has arrived…

My desk/drawers/cool-looking piece for the living room or dining room (haven’t decided yet) was delivered today! I love it.

Look…

Here it is closed and then open:
closed = drawers open = desk

How cool is that!?

In other news, today is my Grandma’s 95th birthday, tomorrow is Rie’s birthday pool party and I actually get Monday off…Yay!
