Little By Little

Since being in college, this is my very first time having my own room.  My space to call my own.  It's precious.  I don't know about you, but I'm a homebody, and when you're one of those, it's so important to have a room you enjoy spending time in.  To put it mildly, when I walked in the house I had a panic attack.  My room is the old dining room, so it boasts tile floor, 3 doors to the room, and no closet.  NO CLOSET...this is obviously a problem for me. Or anyone, really.  The previous owner also had a dog who apparently loved to use the dining room {now my room} as a bathroom, so it smelled just lovely.  After some serious freak out moments, a game plan, sanitizing, swiffering, taking full advantage of my Pottery Barn discount, shopping trip to Anthro, and a few gallons of paint later, I think it's almost finished!


Yesterday I went to the Farmer's Market to get my vintage furniture and I scored a desk and shelf, but another lady grabbed the dresser I wanted before I could get it :(  So, the hunt for a dresser is on! Because I have no dresser, clothes are still everywhere and that's no good for pictures! I have managed to take some fun small snapshots for you, though.  It's like a teaser, really. But hey- gotta keep you in suspense (;


Kitchen:

 Bedroom:

cure to any bad smell: Anthro candles.

Anthro knobs make me happy!

Desk area:

My desk is beautiful...I adore it. The chair and desk came as a set and I couldn't be happier with them. Now if only that lady would grow a heart and give the poor old college student the dresser (;


Hope you have a wonderful Monday! Today's my first day of classes. Should be fun!
Love,
