my first entry.

With winter break coming to a fast halt, my friend Carrie thought of one last activity that must be accomplished: Start my blog. Since blogging has been a great way to get her wonderful photography viewed by friends, potential customers, and anyone else who might stumble upon it, she thought my own blog might be a good place to show off some of my college life creations. Ever since I have moved into my first apartment and living on a budget that doesn't include my parents paper, its been a struggle to find cute decor for a really darn adorable price. Luckily since my first project, my crafting instincts have kicked into high gear. This first entry will include photo's taken by Carrie of things around my apartment that I have painted or put together so far!

Empty wine bottles have proved to be the most inexpensive flower vases. 

This used to be a nice wood, but puke green is more my style.
Its easy to take old furniture (that I got for free) and make it chic!

A display of my obsession with tree's.
Probably my favorite thing I've painted so far.

Old jar, new cat.

Stencils are a god sent. 

My shower is extremely small and shower curtains are pricey. What I found to be the most affordable was to
buy a cheap plastic curtain, and put some black cloth right in front of it. Use double sided fabric tape to add
 a strip of fancy cloth, and you have one sexy shower. 

Its easy to find cheap plain jewelry boxes, and paint them prettyness. 

Runners can add a lot to a room. I got some furnishing fabric on sale, and used the double sided
fabric tape to hem the seams.

Meatball and Phyllis. Note that I have not painted them...

Yet.
