More apartment

Jeez. how many posts can I drone on and on about my one bedroom apartment? You would be surprised. Sit back people. Another chapter in poor man's decorating is about to begin.

Chandelier: $3 at Goodwill
Spray paint: $3
Husband-hanger: free.
Husband-curse words: also free.

Then I had a vision for a monogram wall, so I went to work (read: I got frustrated after three letters and asked Zach to take over).

letter wall
Nevermind my Halloween owls at the bottom of the pic, they pop out of a Halloween tree and sing a Halloween song. But that's neither here nor there.

And finally, I had to join in on the chair make-over fun: Design*Sponge and Liz's cute projects to inspire. Chair found at Goodwill, $6. Although I think they should have paid me to take this atrocity off their hands.

Yikes.

A little spray paint, a little fabric, a little staple gun; and here it is! Yay a new chair for my desk.

The end. ByeIloveyou.

I demand you either stop being so attractive or that you use your power for good at my house.

I love the chair and the fabric you used for the seat, amazing. Everything you are doing looks super cute. I can't wait until you add other little initials to that wall....

Don't you love the limitless space in a one bedroom? yeah, so do I. But you are making yours so darn cute! I need lessons.

Chelise said...

I will pay you for your chair.

Are you KIDDING ME?? Wow. You are definitely incredible. Seriously.

Alisse Baldwin said...

Will you (& Zach) marry me so I can put you to work at my house- free of charge?

Rachel Cunningham said...

You need your own show. I think my favorite is the spray-painted letters on your back porch.

I've been blogstalking you so long, I don't even remember how I found your blog. I get so excited when you update - you're my comedic relief. I think I have a bunch of my friends reading along too. Keep up the hysterical life!

you are very creative! If you need to decorate a "house" you can come over anytime! (don't mind that we have never met) I need some creative juices, my house seriously needs help.

Hi Crafty Crafterson, I thought your new married name was Young.

So cute! And I like the thriftyness in it, because if I just saw the after shots I would have had no idea that it was goodwill stuff. You are a clever feline. I miss you guys, Yeah for Christmas!!!
