Honestly, you can really find everythign your little heart desires there!! For instance I love love love upholstered beds.  However, as you see my taste typically finds me looking at bed I cannot afford.  Much like the ones I posted about before, $1k!  Target to the rescue!!!! I found this great eheadboard for only $329!!

How I love their looks . . They are the only store who carries beds that talk directly to me!  Here is what I would love . .

It is so wonderful.  However very girly and would probably never keep it if I was living with a man.  I have a personal thing against very feminine decor when there is a man in residence even if he doesn’t care, I do.   Below is where I would go if I had a man in the house.

It is still lush but the lines makes it very gender netural and still very much my style.

I hate painting . . .

Posted in Home tagged , , , at 9:20 am by growthstylenlove

Mostly because I am horrible at it! I have high standards, bad technique, and not enough physical energy to finish.  Currently, I am working on finishing painting my bedroom.  I want dark gray moldings (crown n bottom), a silver accent wall (RL Iron Gate), white ceiling, with pearl white walls.  So far I painted the bottom moldings and the side walls.  I got one coat of paint on the ceiling and the accent wall.  Today I was preparing to paint my crown molding.  Yea . . about that . . here is how far I have gotten . .

Unfinished molding

Yeeeaaahhh, my arms got tired and everything.  Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, sad!  I really need to up my energy!  Want to be let in on the worst of it?  I did the worst job ever!! Making sure that I have do extra work when painting the second coat on the ceiling and the accent wall.  Look and see for yourself!

Wish I had painter!

I have been painting with a foam brush but now I know I need to go back and paint with a brush.  I hate painting with a brush. .  Lets not to mention I still need to buy a new can of paint for the accent wall because I don’t have enough paint for the second coat.  

*sigh*

So I get distracted . .

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I have been hiding for a while.  I moved back in my basement so that I can paint my bedrooom.  My Internet is in my bedroom and I haven’t been getting farther than my bed and the kitchen lately. Plus I moved my space heater down stairs which is also why I have been MIA.  I did find a camera!  That one did not come through on the camera although the text about reconciling with his child’s mother was nice :) .  Yet I found Mom’s camera so soon I will upload the pics of the the finished painted bedroom.
