Not a Lazy Saturday

It's DIY Saturday at apartment 6D. This is the first time I've been off my feet since 10am with the exception of a 15-minute break for leftover tacos. Here I offer the photographic evidence:

First, let me present my new walls. They are yellow or 'lemon merengue' according to my fine friends at Benjamin Moore, and the whole room feels sunny and bright. After weeks of trying to choose the perfect color, I made the right decision.

And now that the walls are painted, I can put some pictures up. I've placed Grandpa Mousey's racing photo above the doorway.

This is kind of a messy picture, but it's full of happy. Notice I've placed my wand (made at Harry Potter Place when the final book came out) on my cabinet handles. Magic. And I've got my Heidi Kenney art up. Donuts and ice cream by the microwave, broccoli over the stove.

Here's a small little DIY project. This switchplate used to be two little kids kissing or playing the saxophone or doing something similarly creepy (it was the kind of thing Angela from The Office would enjoy). With Vince's help, I found a customizable switch plate. Today I popped in an Ashley G. postcard that came with one of my Etsy orders and viola!

Last weekend I bought these hanging bud vases from CB2. They're on the wall facing my bed. I need to get some flowers, it's a little lame with leaves.

And the final project of the night? I hung up some hooks in the hallway. I decided that I'm going to get a vinyl wall sticker thing from Blik instead of painting. It costs about the same as painting, and I found a pattern with tree branches that I love.
