Shrooms....

It's been a while since I wrote, but last week was busy with the Fourth holiday and a trip to the cities (and Ikea!!). I must have bought about half of the store, but here are some of my favorite finds: To the left, a mirror! It's about as tall as me and two and half feet wide. All for $35! To the right, a bowl with round things... The table came from our "Trailer House Collection". After relatives are done with various furniture it goes into the Trailer House for storage until someone wants it. The coffee table and end table were my Great Aunt Clarice's. They were a blonde wood color so I decided to paint them a clean white to go with my shabby chic look. I also found these white candlesticks. I think these will go great on my dining room table.

I've decided to paint the kitchen a light green, with the bottom being white (I'm also installing a chair rail). My mom and I decided to share paint, so I need to wait for her to paint the bathroom before I can paint the kitchen. I'm sure it will work out in the long run, but right now it's kind of a pain because I want to get it done! So I'm thinking the clean white will go well with the light pistachio color we chose.

My bathroom is finally clean and organized. Just when I was feeling it was good to go (until I'm ready to redo the walls of course) I found a mushroom growing in the shower. Seriously. It's just a little guy right now, but I need to do something to fix it. After my shower I went downstairs to check on my laundry. It was then I noticed there was a pretty bad leak under the shower. There was also a field of mushrooms growing on the ceiling underneath the shower....it's times like this I'm really glad I'm renting! I called the landlord and we're hoping to find some sort of solution. Until then, bleach is going to be a friend of mine. Speaking of good friends, my friend Nick is going to help me clean out the nasty basement soon! What a great guy. I, personally, didn't want to clean the basement because the thought of doing so scares me. I have a horrible fear of bugs, damp basements, darkness, mice, really everything that the basement IS. Freak-outs may be at an all-time high tonight so wish me luck!
