Decorating slump

I’ve been off work since the 22nd and I’ve done very little, in fact I’m in a bit of a decor slump :) 

I want to do something to this humongo frame but since I have no artistic capability, it sits blank.

I did manage to get a couple of things done though

I removed the toilet roll holder from my bathroom. Who designs houses anyway? You practically had to do an about face to get paper while sitting on the throne :) Of course removing it meant that I had to repaint the wall.

 

While I had the paint out, I repainted the powder room off of my bedroom.

It’s now a much more soothing shade of blue. I got rid of the stand behind the toilet in favour of these two shelves that I got while junkin’ in the summer.

I have distressed one of them to see which I like better and I still can’t decide. Which do you prefer?

And I got some new bedside lamps. I love the lamps that I had, but they take up valuable space on my side tables. I bought the lamps for $6 each and the shades for $1.50 each. I have to come up with a way to cover the cords as the thrift store were fresh out of covers :)

Today is my big bubba’s 18th birthday!  I know, I know, hard to believe that a woman this young looking can have an 18 year old. Ha ha. We are going out for dinner tonight and his choice is Korean bbq, of which none of us have ever tried, it should be interesting.

Here he is with my daughter. They really do adore one another and get along so well.

I’ll see you all in 2012!
