Space!


I've lived in my new Apartment for about 6 months now. It's a great little place just for myself. It's in my favorite part of town, I can walk everywhere and it's not a bad drive to work! (I'll post pictures of my apartment and area of town in another post) So after 6 months you'd think I'd have everything figured out and organized, but it seems like little things start to bug me after a while and then I'm off to Target to find the perfect organizational piece! The most recent area of concern is in my bathroom. Since this is just a one bed / one bath apartment in an old Carriage house it's not too big or fancy. Currently I have an over the toilet cabinet (target style) and the space under the sink. But still for a place to put extra toilet paper, tissues, towels, hair dryers etc etc. Good Lord you never realize how many things go into a bathroom till you have one all by yourself. So currently the space between the sink and the wall has been functioning as the extra toilet paper holder and hair dryer area. Which... has gotten on my nerves for long enough. So I measured and checked out some things online to make sure they had organizers that fit in less then 12 inches. Poof! They do! So off we go, I didn't want to pay too much money for something so I found a little perfect shelf and cabinet build it yourself from Target that was only 26$ Perfect! So i don't know about you all, but I have a love / hate relationship with these build it yourself things. I love the idea if building them, but hate that they give you just a bag of stuff and pretty shotty instructions, but a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do. So I started the construction phase this morning.


So here is it!

Stell Bell decided to come help, by sitting in my lap... not so much help Stell, but... I love you too..





so after some restraining.....




Ok, She's all taken care of, now time to put this baby together. I was extremely happy to see that Target has this new thing they do with all the pieces. Check this out! HOLY MOLY!




See! Even the little pieces are all stuck together after you take them out!





Everything is all together and labeled on a piece of cardboard. Brilliant Target! Now for the instructions... meh.... they were ok... The last page was a little tough with putting the cabinet door on but Poof! Success!! The bathroom is now organized!








Stella was extremely happy that we were done cause she could run around again!





AND!! While putting the towels away, I found my Saints inflatable helmet that Michael told me he'd wear if the Saints won the SuperBowl! HOORAY!!!!


WHO DAT?!

Hello World!


So I decided it might be pretty neat to start a Blog, so people might know what I'm up to. Not cause I particularly am up to anything too exciting, but because I live far away from some friends and family who might be interested. I'm gonna try and keep this pretty open ended and hopefully entertaining by posting about all my different interests. Probably mostly talking about Architecture, Art, Cooking, Gardening, possibly some about myself etc etc etc. So I hope everyone enjoys it.

Here's some pictures below I hope everyone enjoys!


Michael and I :-)
