Re-decorating & This Only Happens to Me

This past weekend I started organizing and re-decorating my boyfriend's house I just moved into. (I guess I can call it "our" home now!) He had it decorated nicely when I moved in but it screamed BACHELOR PAD and needed some sprucing up. Enter Moi! I thought I would start with a few accents to update what he already had to mesh our tastes together. And since the one rule he gave me was "No pink!" I worked with neutral colors. The hardest part was staying within my budget but I did it! First I picked up these cute polka dot pillows at Ikea for $25.00 each.

I brought this wooden vase with me from my place and bought three bundles of white branches from Ikea for $7.99 each.

I also got this simple floor lamp from - you guessed it - Ikea. The shade was $15.99 and the base $39.99.

There was no color-scheme in the bathroom. So I chose light blue, light brown and dark brown to go with the light brown tiles and claw-foot bathtub which I LOVE. The shower curtain was $50.00 and the rings $8.00 for a pack of 12 at Bed Bath & Beyond.

So that's all I've done so far.D. hasn't seen any of this because he's out of town until Friday. I hope he likes it!

My next task: Moving this out of our bedroom:

This is the last thing I see before falling asleep. I often dream of Jacob Black and the rest of the werewolf pack from 'Twilight'. A little creepy don't you think? I also need to transplant these to D.'s Man Cave:

I'm speechless. This picture was also taken in our bedroom. Yes, ladies. Cute panda bears and a skull all in the same area.

So when I got home late from Ikea yesterday (my second trip in two days), I was so hungry I wanted to make something quick so I turned to Kraft Dinner and cooked up some Mac & Cheese. After eating I went to the drugstore, filled up with gas and picked up some groceries. Unbeknownst to me I did all of that in public with THIS on my nose:

Yup, Mac & Cheese powder right on my shnozzle. AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING!!! Not even the pharmacist I discussed Vitamin B12 with for a couple of minutes! If I saw someone that looked like they snorted Kraft Dinner I would tell them so they wouldn't look like a complete idiot like I did. I was so embarrassed! This only happens to me! If you saw a stranger with a bright orange streak on her face would YOU say something? I sure hope so!

Have a good day! And ALWAYS look in the mirror before you leave the house ; )
