My New Oasis! "Woman-Land!"

Well, as you can see, I decided to do something about our plain, white, blah loft this week. It sits just across from our secondary loft, which we lovingly call, "Man-land" b/c of its massive flat screen and huge comfy couch, dominated only by those loving football, playstations, and salsa. The little loft has been empty since we moved in last August!! White walls, staring at me, taunting me. As most of you know, I like lots of color on my walls and these white walls simply would not do! One day last week at work, I had a vision of what I wanted to do with the room. I went out on my lunch break, bought a cute studio couch (also doubles as a futon!), and I bought some paint. A week later, TA DA!!! I finally got my room put together with Elizabeth Street Blue and Bermuda Stone paint colors. Do not be alarmed by the "orbs" in this photo. However, every picture that we took of the room seems to have these, as you can see below. Its very bizarre.

Needless to say, even though I have blue/brown paint all over my hands and somehow got brown paint on my face, I am very proud of my painting job!! Adam's job was to put the couch together because he's not much of a painter, bless his heart. And I assure you, I'm no Michaelangelo, only a Picasso at best. I also can not "color" inside the lines, I had blue paint bleeding onto my brown. And I threw caution to the wind by not using ANY painters tape! Nope. None. ... seriously! None! I got slightly distracted while watching Oprah and almost stepped in the paint as well. Damn you Oprah! (j/k, if you're reading, I really need a new car!).

Well, I'm off to watch my new obsession, "Gossip Girl", and bask in the glory of my new room! And stay tuned for more updated photos as the room transforms into my own personal oasis! Maybe I'll even turn it into a scrapbooking room!!!! (Somewhere Adam just groaned....).
