Holy CRAP!!!!

IM IN APARTMENT THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!

I'M KIND OF freaking out. I never thought my apartment would get featured. WTF!
So cool!!!!!!

new front door.

This morning, on my third to last day of "stay-cation" I woke up, walked into the hallway, rubbed my eyes and decided to paint the font door. No second guessing when I plow into a project. This girl just goes.

Wanna know what remains on my kind of lame "stay-cation" bucket list?

-Get a Library Card, and load up on books.
-Buy Husband some non-ugly shorts - DONE
-Buy a new sports bra for running - DONE
-Go to Richmond Centre because you have been there in years - DONE
-Go have lunch with husband on his break
-Go lay in the park across the street with some library books and get a tan (weather permitting!)

that's it! Our real vacation starts later in August when we fly down to LA, rent a car and visit some friends, and drive up the coast to visit Billy's dad and hit up some sweet food joints a la Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives

Before & After!

WHO doesn't appreciate a good BEFORE & AFTER project!? I certainly do.

BEFORE:

AFTER!
New bedroom bookcase/shoe/who knows what storage!

And yes...I'm aware that I paint EVERYTHING various shades of turquoise. Maybe Turquoise should stop looking so damn good, so I can move on to another color.

I need more books to stack in it. It matches our bedspread, which was absolutely intentional.

photo jacked from my brother!

Today we said goodbye to our little minnie. after 17 years of watching my brother and I grow up, move out of the house and still come back for sunday dinners, she will be dearly missed on those days.

She was my very first kitten, she had a scratchy meow, and we adored her. <3

I hope my mom can relax now, knowing she is not in pain and not having to face the stress of worrying about her anymore. While the loss of a sick pet is always painful, I understand and lived through the strange relief that comes with it when it's over.
