Handy

Someone came over to my house last week and told me I'm always moving around my furniture. While that is partially true, it was mainly because I had moved everything around for my Christmas tree, and he hadn't been over since then. However, I do indeed like to do projects around the house. This last weekend was a prime example! What began as a trip to the store to recycle some cans turned into a major weekend project. I ended up at Menards (so I could save big money), and I found all kinds of exciting things for my house!

First up was the light fixture in my bathroom. I used to have this poor old fixture which, in my turquoise bathroom, just wasn't cutting it. Anyways, I ended up buying a new fixture and despite the fact that I had no idea what I was doing, I installed it!

Before:
After:
Much better! It works and everything, I'm totally handy.

Now, judging from my brightly colored bathroom, one would assume the rest of my house would be similarly decorated. Well, now it is! I actually picked up paint chips like three weeks ago to paint my bedroom, but I just now got the motivation to start the project. Unfortunately I didn't take any before pictures, but here are the afters. It was originally white and a dark gray/green color. Now it is tan and blue.


It was quite the adventure, especially when I had all the furniture moved around. Luckily I still had a place to sleep! I like it a lot. Also, I thought it was funny that the name of the tan paint was "henna glow." Hmm...
