mon salle de bain! (my bathroom)

thanks to a super awesome IKEA run with ally this week, my bathroom is finally tolerable. unless you look in the shower...there's black mold, which i have no idea what to do about, & the bathroom is seriously the oldest room in the house. it's falling apart. i ought to talk to my landlord about it....anyway. here's how you make ghetto look less ghetto. or at least how i did it.

this is my little corner of the bathroom. i inherited the mirror from my friend ryan when he moved out of logan...it's a favorite of mine! i bought the stool from ikea for 4 bucks, so now i have a little nook to get ready at. ignore the kitty litter.

i like hanging things skiwompus. i don't know why...it's just a thing. but anyways, i bought the framed mirrors also at IKEA for 2 dollars each. before, i had a ghetto painting i got for 50 cents at the DI that would never hang straight. it was bad.

the no parking sign came with the house...awesome, i know. the dresser used to be an ugly cream color, but luke & i bought new knobs & spray painted the thing black. i also bought a bin to keep all our cleaning supplies in.

i made this for 3 dollars...saw the cut out at ben franklin crafts & decided it'd look awesome painted green. it hangs right next to our bathroom door, above the light switch.

i know that's not very classy, but come on. i couldn't resist. hanging it right above the toilet makes it clear...NO SPRINKLING WHILE YOU'RE TINKLING.

i bought 2 green rugs to (kind of) match the peace sign decor as well as the oddly colored shower curtain. we also installed the toilet paper holder as there was none when we moved in.

so...yeah. i guess it's sort of coming along! yay!

home inspiration.

i wish.

i've been greatly looking forward to moving out sometime soon..

hoping by this fall i'll be able to afford it!

so maybe that's why i've been so obsessed with pictures like these lately:

 

 

a chalkboard calendar...amazing. cutest playroom i've ever seen..and two bedrooms i would LOVE to have [a library/bedroom? that's amazing.]

makes me wish i could afford to just buy a house and decorate the crap out of it.

 

a change.

so a couple weeks ago i cut all my hair off. it was pretty last minute, sporadic, and it didn't look bad per se.. but i wanted to make it a bit cuter. [among other things]. sooo today i was lucky enough to get my hair cut and dyed by my awesome cousin lindsay. it turned out amazing!! i've never been happy with a haircut right off the bat.

i love itttt.

this week in general brought on some pretty crazy changes. while i have been fighting moving back with my parents for so long, i couldn't do it anymore and decided to finally take their advice and move back. it's been 3 years since i've lived with my family, and let's say it's taken some getting used to. however it hasn't been near as bad as i imagined. [and why i imagined it being so bad to begin with is beyond me.. my family is amazing].

i think what i was dreading most was change. something i always have a hard time with. when things don't go the way i plan them to i tend to freak out... [it's a weakness of mine. i'm working on it.] so let's just say that the past couple days of being home have kind of been a lot to deal with.  it's just for the summer i'm hoping, until i get my life together. a lot has been going on, a lot i haven't been ready to handle and don't want to handle yet. so being able to be home with my parents and sisters has been a great help. 

not to mention i COMPLETELY forgot about the great people in kaysville. i have little to no friends here now, but i've started to remember the great friends i had. this weekend was just what i needed.

i spent friday at ikea and cabela's with my mom and sister..scored a new dresser, nightstand, and an awesome pair of hiking shoes. i spent the afternoon laying out by my pool with this adorable boy:

is he not the cutest? timmy is my favorite dog on this planet. i love him to bits and pieces. after a lovely afternoon by the pool, i hung out with my 2 friends aaron and jimmy. driving around blasting lady gaga [do not tell them i posted that part on the internet..], sitting in parking lots and finding a random rope swing in the middle of a field made it a pretty fun night. except for when the deer/big foot/policeman came out of the bushes and we ran for our lives.

today was also fabulous. i spent the day swimming with a bunch of my amazing friends. a lot of friends i had forgotten i even had.. i am just overwhelmed, surprised, and grateful for how many friends i still have, and the great people that they are.

here's to hope of a better summer.
