Where the "magic" happens...and by "magic" I mean "nothing".

 So for the summer and being inspired by Stumbleupon.com (damn youuu!) I decided to fix it...I wanted to paint the room ivy green and decided it was too dark. Scrapping that idea, I took leftover paint from my aunt's house (she lives in Canada so bringing over gallons of industrial sized paints over the border was pretty fun, I guess you can say I'm the Pablo Escobar of paint, doing lines of paint is harsh on the nose...
 Anywho, the room is three different colors and according to my colorblind father, "it's tacky..." yeah, you try to think of a comeback for that. The predominate color is a cool lemon yellow, followed by a bigger wall that's supposed to be "rustic" looking as opposed to "I can't mix paint evenly" looking, ya dig? And finally a small purple wall as a "statement" wall. So that's that.


Those lanterns are made by your truly, you'd be surprised what paper mache and yarn will get you. 


BAM! Hand-painted leaves, how you like me now?! (oh and by hand-painted I mean Sharpie) I'm on a budget. I'm a college student, slack is what I should get...


My poop brown wall, it gives the room...umm...character.  And my hipsterish-ghetto bookcase (lackthereof)


It's a small space so I wanted it to look kinda quirky without being so cluttered...you think Better Homes and Gardens will approve of my attempt? I think so. Well, maybe not that dainty, more like Martha-Stewart-Prison-Break-phase...


That little fella is Gus, my bedside companion. Oh and that's the view of when I dream.


Ghetto lack thereof bookshelf


For those of you whom don't know what TOMS are, for shames! Look them up now. I mean it. 


My wall with the miscellaneous photos I framed to make it look important. You like? I don't care if you don't,                                      no really. I don't.

 
                                               The door that leads you to my humble abode.

The closet space, back of the entrance, part of the purple wall...all in one snapshot.
I hope you liked it, not really.
