I have made a few decor/DIY updates to my place! However, tutorials are pretty unnecessary! but I'm very proud of the progress! and it will have to do for the time being! I may try to pump out one last project, the ottoman my grandpa is helping me with, and maybe later on purchasing the light fixture I want.
It's not a fancy apt, but it's slowly becoming very me! and whenever I am ready to get a real home I'll be ready to get right to the big DIY stuff!
Somehow I've latched on to a slightly southwestern look, but there are still some girly aspects and retro aspects here and there. I'm loving it!
As I said I'm most anxious to finish the big ottoman and get a hanging lamp over the couch. I'm using a small table lamp perched on the corner of the couch and leaning against the wall. It's just bad.
I'd love to be able to get a plush area rug, make a small tall table for my aloe plant, new throw pillows, a few more pieces of wall art for the living and dining and ultimately a bar cart! But I'm so proud of myself for the progress I have made, and i need to focus not only on small steps, but taking care of my plants! I've sadly killed a few here and there! and now that winter is coming I will need to pay plenty of attention so as to not be without any all winter!
In big BIG news for me, I GOT A NEW JOB! I'm going to be a Para at the grade school I grew up in! I was SO thrilled when I was offered the job on the spot! The Principal noticed in my letter and resume that I want to be a teacher so she placed me in the position she says has the most growth potential under two Master 1st Grade Teachers. AH!!!!!! Sounds awesome!!! And on top of this I begin my junior(?) year of college the same day!!! It's going to be so great getting this experience along with school! So I plan on beginning another blog to write personally about my professional adventure. It's a pitty I can't seem to figure out how to get any of these blogs truly off the ground! but I'm so thankful the outlet is available when I need it!
