closets have walls too.

and..I'm still not done with art.com!!!!

i still haven't forgotten about that walk-in closet I'd love to have someday in this hole.

So here's some artwork that I thought could be fun in my closet!

the 'boy' side

this for the 'girl' side.

me daily plus a hole.

okay...just a few quick things...I love that brown and black are one in the same. I was told that by my VERY fashionable/worldly/beautiful/intelligent aunt, Vicki, from Chicago:) And she told me that 10 years ago while I was there visiting. Even then, when I thought black and brown were worst enemies...she knew better!

pants - Levis

feet - Aldo, no longer on the site:( Just a great boot to have (thanks Neen:). At the moment I have a 15% Off Coupon and chomping at the bit to buy something...what to do, what to do!!!

PS. Ok, just ran some figures and 15% isn't shit. Netermind!!!!

and here are a few pictures to add to my Our Hole collection:) This is a vanity I got for FREE. YES. FREE...Free me likes. A girlfriend of mine wasn't especially loving it and so I scooped it up.

unfortunately, for Jacob, I decided I HAD to/MUST/NO OTHER OPTION but to have both this vanity and the Craig's List couch up and in working order in one night. Needless to say...the wedding's...STILL ON;) Yes, we survived that night.

But...we have no lights in the living room. Yeah. While Jacob was putting our 'new' furniture together, I decided to change a bulb in our living room chandelier type delio and I decided to do this while the lights were still on AND with a bulb that was actually too small.

A few sparks later and some naughty words...and yes, 3 days later, we're still without lights. I have a feeling I'll be talking of our light outage situation till after the 1st of the year. Things like that just go...unfixed.:(

me being 20% cute and a lot more creepy:)

POINT: this is the vanity in it's new home - OUR Bedroom:) The plan isn't to keep it there forever. Eventually I'd like to have a walk-in closet and this puppy will be shoved in there. It needs a solid paint job and at the moment I'm thinking simple white or cream. Mmmm, cream...yep, that sounds about right.

but anything that gives me a stool and huge mirror to apply make-up in the morning is a step-up from being on my knees in dim lighting as I was for months...and monthsssss. I shocked myself when I got to work a few times. Yep. Nothing scarier than feeling like a rock star in dim lighting by your lonesome at home and then hitting those florescent ones in the work bathroom 5 hours later and realizing that the sparkle purple you picked out with the 'blue' eye liner, you could have WORN was black...is massive Don't and those looks you were getting from your coworkers weren't ones of envy. Boo:(

but all that's behind me now!!!!

Here's my new Pretty Face Station. Here's where the magic happens:)

inspirational napping.

in my usual impatient fashion, I've come up with ANOTHER project while we are STILL ankle deep in about 3 other projects.

BUT I've been reassured by Jacob that we willllll indeed have our current list of projects completed by the end of the year. This way we can concentrate all of our efforts on enjoying next year's wedding festivities.

BUT we've both agreed that my most recent idea, brought on by a nap (I have all of my bestest ideas during nap time:), is TOO awesome not to do.

so long story short....if the list below is completed by Nov. 1, 2010, we will more than likely take on this project in the Spring of 2011!!!!:) I'm PUMPED..I'm MOTIVATED. I want my newwwwww Walk-In Closet!!!!!!

Pending Projects - Due Nov. 1, 2010

Kitchen

- trim

- few pieces of ceiling tile

- upper cabinet & open shelving

- lighting

- minimal plastering & painting

Bathroom

- showering tub/shower stall

- minimal plastering & painting

- wood panels for walls

- pedestal sink

- lighting

Outdoors

Living room

- trim

SO this may seem like the.longest.list.everrrrr but it's a lot of little things that can not be done till one other little thing is done and so on and so on. BUT it's totally doable!

see what I have in mind below for our future bedroom and you'll see why I am SO beyond excited and optimistic about this year's projects being behind us so that I can start thinking about this oneeee last one:)

the plan would be to knock out the closet we currently have and push it back and you'd be able to walk around either side of the bed into a walk-in closet...but that wall behind the bed would be a 1/2 wall (pretty tall) and we'd have some nice windows in the closet to let in natural light (small square ones at the top of the room).

love this color, the pull out drawers...and it just looks nice and solid. My hope is to have room for a small desk with a little chair - and luckily I love little chairs and have a nice collection of them to choose from! PS. this is Carrie Bradshaw's closet...super:)
i'm thinking we'll do carpeting in the walk-in and this shag looks ohhhh SO cozy.
i must have a HUGE mirror...with gold trim...and that ottoman...yes. MUST.
mostly loving the island with the awesome counter top...and this feels like an approximate size once all is said and done, probably a bit larger than I'll have but would be a solid layout.

wish us butt loads of luck!
