Movin' on up...

God, work is so slow today. Molasses ain't got shit on this place. Ugh.
In the meantime, I've taken to daydreaming about how I will decorate my next (teeny tiny) bedroom while thinking of ways to convince my future roomie/landlady to let me paint it up.

Here are the deats:
1. The room is microscopic. Like, maybe 10x10? Maybe? On a good day?
2. It's in the basement (i.e., no windows. Mega booo).
3. The closet is pretty darn small too.
4. The current carpet is begging, just BEGGING, for me to throw down some sort of awesome amazing rug to warm it up.
5. I can't remember if there's an overhead light....oh dear.
So, while it's currently a bland white box, I'm thinking it needs some serious light colors like this:
-
Gentle Butterfly by Benjamin Moore
-
-
Dolphin's Cove by Benjamin Moore
-
-
I'm really rooting for the Gentle Butterfly despite the douchey name/mega femme feel. I think it will lighten that janx up and make is sparkle in all its gloomy basement glory. Also, my current room is pretty much exactly the color of the Dolphin's Cove, and I feel like I might be over that.

(Not-so) Secretly, I wish I were just moving into a room like this.
Those windows are my babies. And the ceilings are my baby's daddy.

Hmm, maybe I'll just have a cute little window like this with some sweet ass cherry blossoms and matching blue and pink paint scheme. Why? Because I'm awesome.

Points of interest: AMAZING AWESOME MIRROR; bleachy wood cabinets; pink, multicolored pillows on the kitchen chairs; delicious vase of flowers; 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster peaking its way in; bowl of lemons/limes; chandelier reflection; etc...

Amazgasm glitter shiny bathroom wall tiles.

-
Magical swan faucet. Golden.

Anyway. There's another mandatory happy hour from 4:30-6:00 today at work. Then off to sign a lease/pack up shit at my current house/water my tomato plant because it gave me my FIRST BABY MATER YESTERDAY YESSSSS!!

Here's to surviving the heat/ozone hellzone!

  1. You need to paint it dolphin cove, and then put those new cool vinyl stickers on it of cherry blossoms. And do a window sash with a mirror inside it, and voila! You have picture number two. Although I can also picture you with yellow walls and a cool Liberty of London bedspread...I'm just sayin'

  2. Ooh genius ideas all around. I'm stumped over wall color because I really heart the Gentle Butterfly or whatevs, but if the girl's anti-pink, I've gotta go another route. I love yellow, but I had a yellow (living) room already and I wanna spice it up. Also, this is (one of) my bedspread/color scheme I'm working with: http://debbyschuh.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451ac6369e201157054c3fb970b-300wi

    We'll see...!
