thrifting (or should I say, garage sale-ing) haul

So on Saturday I helped run a big garage sale. While I was there I also peeked through everyone else's sections and got some great finds! I ended up getting a set of 3 pinup style art canvas prints, an awesome red bag, and a pair of cowboy boots! I always wanted a pair of cowboy boots.. They will look awesome with my white sundress. Here are the pictures:

I'm super excited about the prints. I think they will look super lovely on my new lilac wall! 

visions of purple on my walls

So today I started painting my room. Correction: half of my room. Right now I have one green wall, one plum purple, one robin's egg blue, and one lilac. Today I painted the little walls around my door lilac and I'm hoping to finish painting over the green with the lilac tomorrow. Green is a lovely color, just not for bedroom walls. It gives everything a weird green tinge, including your skin when you look in the mirror. It makes it really hard to successfully do your makeup or know what color your skin actually is. Turns out my skin is not yellow green like my walls convinced me it was... Anyway, I also did some modge podge magic over my light switch plate and my cat kept me company through the whole thing! Here are a couple low- quality pictures for your entertainment:

Pretty colors huh? I am just in love with them. My new room will be lovely! I'm going to re-paint my furniture  too. Instead of being turquoise, my desk will be white with turquoise accents. And instead of being black and blue, my dresser will be white with some other color for an accent. I'm excited! :D What big projects are you working on?

come on in!

Well... this is try #3 at blogging for me... Recently though, I've found myself inspired by other awesome blogs and wanting something to do with my time. So here I am! To get us started, here's a fun fact about me: I paint my nails once a week!

Here's this week's mani:
