bloggers block.

Hey guys, Kylie here.  I'm back.  What a slacker I've been, right?!  Have you missed me?  Did we lose any loyal followers? (all four of you.)  I don't understand how bloggers come up with posts every day.  How do they do it?  What are they on?  Are they faking it? (98% of them are women, you know.)  Someone give me a book of tips- preferably "Blogging for Idiots"

I actually haven't blogged because I've done nothing of value on the majority of my days off over the last two weeks.  Oopsies.  BUT THIS WEEK.... I painted a nightstand and rearranged my room.  How exciting! 

I have this really awkward and obnoxious fake window in my room.  It was a real window at one time, but previous owners decided to put siding directly over the glass and never blocked the window off on the inside of the house.  Thanks, assholes.  Rather than removing the blinds that our landlord installed, I just try to camouflage the eyesore.

My grandma gave me this cedar chest and it's one of my favorite possessions.  

I had an old canvas that had been ruined by my non-artistic attempts at painting.  I wrapped some fabric around the frame, attached this owl postcard, and wrapped some twine.  This was so much easier than painting. 

I printed off some photos a couple of months ago and needed a way to display them.  I picked up some wire and miniature clothespins the other day.  Voila!  I can't decide if it's too "Does she live in a dorm room? That's so ugly" or not.  Feel free to tell me if you like, but keep your jerk comments to yourself if you don't.

My mom made me the most amazing jewelry hanger/organizer out of an old window.   Isn't it incredible?  Are you jealous?  

ringz & thingz.

I picked this up at Joe's Collectibles for $10, I think?  

And there she is, freshly painted, next to my newly positioned pallet bed.  It barely fits but it works.  (excuse me but...  "that's what she said.") 

This is where I would tell you the color I used, but I'm far too comfortable to retrieve the can from downstairs.   It's a light gray/light blue and it's pretty.  So, there you go.

I utilized one of my chalkboard trays to write notes for myself.  My memory continues to fail more frequently with my age (24 going on 72, I'm pretty sure.)  The tray will likely begin to collect junk but I promise not to post pictures of the mess it becomes.  

Well, I head back to work tomorrow.  Does anyone else slip into a depression when the hours before a work week are quickly dwindling away?  Don't get me wrong- I like my job & I couldn't be more grateful for my employment but.... the weather has been too nice & I have so much television to catch up on with my bedroom window open.  Major problem, guys.

seriously.  so real. 

I'm just waiting for HGTV or Lifetime to stumble upon this gem of a blog and whisk me & Kelly away to start filming (while restocking our entire wardrobes, of course.)  I'm a realist, really. 

Well, it's bedtime.  And when I say "bedtime," I mean "I'm going to lay in bed until my eyes finally want to shut at 3 am- two & a half hours before my alarm."  My sleep pattern has been a real twerp lately.  Thank goodness for that narcolepsy diagnosis and narcolepsy medication to keep me awake during the day.
