Project Paint the Master Bath!

So I decided our Master Bath would be the first room to get painted in our new apartment.  I was thinking either a tealish color or a deep lavender.  Ryan vetoed the purple hues, so I picked a teal color, went to Lowe's and realized the color was way off from how it looked online so I went with a completely random teal I saw without even looking at the name.  I get home and go to look the color up online and notice the name of the color was "Twilight Meadow"- googled it and leads me to an article about Valspar Twilight inspired colors.... So even subconsciously I'm hooked to the Twilight Saga j/k!lol  I also wondered why on earth they weren't advertising the paint colors with Twilight posters and crap, it'd sell.  lol  Anyways here's the before and after paint, we still need to touch up a few spots, and get some "decor" for the bath but the color looks fab!

My Freebie Lamp Project

I got this lamp for free off Craigslist and decided to re-vamp it!  It cost about $7 in supplies.. oh how I love what a little paint and accents can do! :0)

I added beads to the lampshade and painted the lamp base a satin black

Our New Home in Arizona, Good-Bye San Diego!!

We relocated to Arizona in April and were living with some roommates and now have our own 1086 sq ft 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Chandler, AZ.  It's been fun unpacking and moving in and once things get a little less chaotic with projects I will post some updated pics of the apartment.  Interior Design has been a passion of mine since playing with Barbies as a kid.  lol

Here is the living room and dining area

I finally have a kitchen I can actually COOK and BAKE in!! yay! :0)

View into the Master Bedroom and Patio
