7/10/10 - Making Progress

Whew! I'm sure tired after a day like today, I was non-stop all day long. Made lots of progress on little things, but nothing is finished yet.

Here is a before shot of the un-painted light switch-plate & heater grill. So unattractive!!

Then I spray painted them GOLD!!!

I also took out all the old frames that I have & decided what to colors to paint them. I started on some of the gold spray paint, but am saving the white paint for next weekend. All these frames where given to me by a friend, so saved some money there, but they are all missing glass & some will need matte board. I also still have to create the art for them too, this project will probably take me a few months to complete.

I also had my neighbor install a ceiling fan for me! It took awhile, because the instructions weren't clear, but in the end he did a fantastic job & now its breezy and cool in my room!

BEFORE!

AFTER!

I remembered this old piece of art that I've bee storing in the garage. I think it is diffently one of my favorite things I own. I bought it when I was 18 in Ohio, when I went to visit one of my friend after i graduate from High School. Her mom took me out to the vintage & thrift stores in the area & I had a blast. Needless to say, I've missed it on my walls!!
