wanted to post some pics of my new little project. the last coat of paint is drying as we speak. i am creating a little vignette for the new house i am getting ready to move into. pictures of that coming in the next....month. boy i wish those girls would move out quite quick.
step one of the project. paint my old kanakuk trunk to a fantastically stormy blue/green. it's called tropical skies. the name of the paint swatch takes high priority in the choosing of paint colors. this one does wonderfully. a little kahlua and cream helps, along with the madonna episode of glee :)
this was the project i finished probably a week or two ago.
mirror! don't judge the sweatpant look. it's fierce!
im planning on putting my mirror on-top of the trunk to use as a full body mirror.
i like it. and am really excited.
now onto picking out a duvet cover. urgh. i was lazy and didn't order the one i waned from anthro. now im perusing the internet for covers. most interweb surfing sessions end in me feeling as though i need to go shower off the sludge of grossie-ness that comes from websites such as jcpennys.com and beddingsuperstore.com.
yes....i've stooped that low. ugh. absolutely hate admitting that. i've finally narrowed it down to my two favs. a potterybarn teen one, and a target one. time to vote NOW!
Here's the one from target....

Here is the one from
Pottery Barn...

LOVE THE MIRROR. Oh, Julia, I love it sooooooo!!! My little brain is trying to think of all the things I could modge podge with my paper.
ReplyDeleteAs for duvet covers. I vote Target. Hands down.
Good talking with you... Love, Karyn
JULIA!!!! that mirror is amazing! oh how you LOVE modge-podge and paper... what a perfect thing to do with it. can't wait to see it in person someday. and the trunk looks great. and i agree with karyn in my vote for target.
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxoxo!
well done Yoolies! I vote Tar-zchey.
ReplyDeleteand please keep your eyes peeled for a FANTASTIC blog from the fine folks at Stogies and Bogeys.
ReplyDeleteJu! So, I'm just catching up on all your blogs...I don't know how it's been this friggin long since I last looked. So, I'm starting with this post and working my way to the most recent. I'd like to cast my vote, but I'm feeling a little vulnerable about doing so, since you may have already gotten it and let the world know in a more recent post....but I'm putting myself out there and voting nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI see you have a popular vote for the Target cover, which is definitely great. But I am totally drawn to the PB cover, and I think it is beautiful!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the mirror. You rock my socks off with all your modge podge!
