It Ain't Spring Break Unless...

...You do a little home improvement!

I FINALLY painted my bedroom, after contemplating it for 6 months! The color is a lot darker than I had intended, but I've decided that I'm very pleased with the outcome. And, I bought the paint pre-mixed for half off! It was in the 'mistint' section at Walmart, which they sell for cheap :) Overall, the painting cost me about $30, with tape, brushes, etc. Combined with a set of vinyl letters and a set of square shelves both at 66% off, a new cubical dresser, and the curtains, I got a new room for just over $100 bucks!

My friend Amanda loaned me her rag roller. I am definitely not an accomplished painter, but am trying to let go of the perfectionist in me and embrace the "perfect imperfections" :D. The lettering says "You Are Definitely Worth It!", which was Brandi's & my mantra when we were roommates. :)

Before...

shortly after I moved in.



...After!

And this is as of tonight!

I haven't quite figured out what to do with the shelves, but I couldn't pass them up when I saw 'em!
