Embarrassment
I have never really had a room to myself and when I have I A) cant decorate because the rentee doesn't want hole in their walls or to have to repaint B) lived out of plastic bags and laundry buckets because I have had no form of furniture (even had to sleep with the mattress on the floor! Yes, sad to admit) or C) when I lived with my parents I attempted to pain and being the teenager I am completely blotched the job, got paint all over the carpet and didn't tape ANYTHING.. oh well the carpet was older than I was! Seriously.. It has been PATHETIC!
I feel as though my bedroom has always been somewhat of a sanctuary. When I lived at home it was somewhere I could shut out the anyone I wanted. It was a place I could dress, feel, express myself since I was always told how I was suppose to dress, feel, and express myself. I know this is crazy but I have a fascination with bedrooms because I ENVY them.. I always dreamed of the day I would be able to express myself through my very own room.
When I moved in with Bryce, he lived in a completely bachelor pad. we had to mesh our things together into this tiny room and it was NOT pretty. You see our room was grand central station. Everyone and their dog came in whenever they felt like it. I didn't have my personal space, I didn't have my funk, I didn't have anything.. 90% of the time I would be ready for bed and SOMEONE was always in our room using the computer, talking to Bryce or whatever. It was awful! After I finished the kitchen I convinced Bryce to let me have a stab at the room and I would make it 'ours' not 'Grand Central Station'. Now me posting this on my blog I had to give in to the fact that I have to post pre-pictures for you all to get the idea. I am VERY VERY embarrassed by these pictures but it is what it is. Now remember I have put my pride and joy in to this room for if you don't like it, act like you love it or just don't say much about it. I have worked nearly 5 months to peace this thing together. We started on December 24th.. that is right, Christmas Eve I was at Home Depot getting paint. I will also tell you where and how much we paid for everything in case everyone likes my awesome sense of style (rolling eyes)... Here we go... (PS we had already started to move things before we took these pictures so a little bit is already cleaned up but it is still pretty bad..)

I spy... a snoop
Ok so I have a little snoop running around. I was told that I forgot one Vegas picture to upload from my camera. How did this snoop get into my camera?? I am not for sure, but I appreciate the great reminder that I forgot this picture... one day I will learn, soon...
Thanks again little snoop
The rest of our Vegas pictures are below... sad that we only got 5.. I mean 6 pictures.
PS we went to hang up our curtains last night so I could FINALY take pictures of our room.... well the curtain rodds dont fit! That is just great. So I am on a mission to find curtain rods to hold my cute curtains up that fit... Anyone need some curtain rods??
I wish my little snoop would have found that out for me months ago for me when I bought them so I could have taken them back...
