The Adventures of Aqua Woman

This morning I had a dilemma. I didn't have any idea what I was going to do all day. And then it struck me—I still had to paint my kitchen. Yes, that meant having to move my refrigerator, stove, and my enormous washer/dryer...but I decided it was worth the trouble. So I went to Walmart and bought a bucket of this satin-finish aqua paint, and spent about five hours at work. But I am so happy with the result! I wanted my kitchen to be colorful, and I think this is the perfect color.

For some reason, I'm a little aqua crazy. They have this exact right blend of blue green at Target, which is where I got most of my things like towels, comforter, shower curtain etc etc etc. I think it's my favorite color. No, it's definitely my favorite color, lol.

In other news, I made the pillowcase from the vintage fabric I talked about the other day. It's the orange pillow in the middle next to my penguin, Toby (Granny named him). I thought the fabric went really well with my sheets and everything, and I didn't have enough of it for a curtain, so pillowcase—yay!

Finds

I have been having so much fun decorating and exploring lately!

The other day I painted my bathroom and it makes such a huge difference. I thought the color went well with my aqua stuff I already had everywhere. Oh and my kitchen is next. Hopefully some time next week. The only trouble is I can't reach the top, so I'm going to have to wait for a tall person to come visit and recruit them to help me :P

Also, today I went shopping around to all the thrift stores I could find. There are some great ones around here, but my absolute favorite was called the "Way Out" Thrift Store. It's basically a tiny house turned into a treasure chest. And everything from the books and knick-knacks down to the shelves they're sitting on are for sale! So I bought this amazing table for only $8! I also saw this accordion door and thought I could do something really cool with it just as a decorative piece, so here is what I came up with. The living room is still so bare, but at least it's a start.

I also got this amazing two piece vintage dress today, but haven't been able to get a good picture yet for lack of a good enough mirror. I will post pictures of it as soon as I get some good ones!

Anyway, that's all the news for now!
