Looking for 10

The last time I blogged was July...I wish I had some really awesome excuse like I've been abroad or joined the Peace Corps. No, I've just been working and sitting around. I've decided to bring back the blog while I sit around...can I get a "woot woot!"?

Anyway, somehow 190 of you are stilling following my blog after this long absence. Y'all are awesome! (Although, I'm sure you just forgot my blog even existed.)

So, I'm looking for 10 more followers to have a "Welcome Back, I have 200 Followers Giveaway". Here's a hint at what one lucky winner will win!

Shelving Project - Finished!!

Today, with the help of my awesome dad, I finished my bookshelf project.

I'm not sure the pictures do it justice.


I love the new molding. I love the color. I love the contact paper. I just love everything about it, and I can't wait to fill it up with my tv, books, and accessories in my new apartment!

Shelving Project - Progress

I'm still working on my bookcase project from my last post. I have primed the areas that will painted, removed one of the shelves, scraped off the corkboard, and added a decorate crown molding to the top.



I cannot wait to get this thing painted and the contact paper in place. The next post should be my finished product!!

Shelving Project

I'm starting a new project that I'm very excited about.


The first time I took these this bookcase on as a project, I was in middle school. What a wonderful time to paint a piece of furniture! Luckily, my parents knew how awesome I was and let me have free reign with all of our left-over paint. Obviously, I chose to use every color.


I'm actually proud of the corkboard top shelf. But, alas, it's time for this bookcase to be transformed. I plan on painting the entire thing gray and using a gray and yellow floral contact paper for the back of the each shelf.

I've turned the bookcase upside down, and I plan on removing the once bottom, now top, shelf so that the larger opening will house my TV.

I'll be sure to post pictures of my process and the final result!
