...before....after

I love my little apartment. Seriously, it is probably one of my favorite places that I've ever lived in. And I love that slowly....over time...it is really starting to resemble me and my taste. My crazy, bedazzled, jeweled, loud, rocker-chic taste. (rocker-chic...that's my look I've decided. More on that later....)

Anyway, in just looking around my place, I realize I have tons of stuff that I like...but not love. So I'm redoing them until I love them. These are just three of the things I redid yesterday afternoon. (Sunday Funday was a pool day...and then the storms rolled in. So I turned on the NCIS marathon, got out my craft table...and crafted the afternoon/evening away. It's so therapeutic. Seriousy. Love it.)

Brought To You By The Letter K...

I LOVE monogrammed stuff. I LOVE having my intials everywhere. I LOVE when I find "K's" that are pretty and scripty. I purchased this K a few years ago at Archivers. It was tremendously on sale and I thought...heck yeah! I can always use another K in my life. But I've been looking at it recently and the plain black just isn't working for me anymore. Sooooo....I got out some turquoise paint (actually, I mixed a few colors until I got it just right), my Martha Stewart glitter and got to work. (First of all, I'm slightly obsessed with this glitter. It's glitter, but not really. It's smaller and finer and AMAZING. God Bless Martha Stewart.)

And here's the final product!!! Doesn't it look awesome next to my Harry Potter collection... :)

Oh La La...the French Have Invaded My Kitchen!

I got these two sweet little towel holders from the Pier One outlet store YEARS ago. I just love them. However, I don't love the color scheme of them. It just isn't "me". So I was talking with my wonderful sister earlier this weekend and I told her I wanted to paint them. I was thinking about painting them hot pink or turquoise, but then she said that a silouette of them would probably look really cool. Gosh, she's brilliant.

So I took her advice. I painted them metallic black. And then got out my handy dandy Martha Stewart glitter again (this time in black--I find it essential to have it in every color). And voila! The final products turned out better than I could have imagined!!!

Live it.Love it.Create it.
