Make up Section make over

Hey ladies its Friday !!! so out of nowhere this week I said to myself that's it I'm changing my make section like I just think of something and I have to do it !!! so this was the original disaster that everything was all piled up my jewelry hair products and make up
So first off I had to get this ugly looking shelf thing out of here and change the wall color I was thinking of white to open the space ...
SO that's what I did ...about this time I knew I had gone way over my head this was going to be a bigger project then expected hahah .

I had to involved my closet now let me tell you my house is small but one of my rooms in my little house was transformed into a closet couple years of go to supply me and my shopping addiction a retreat  to showcase all my gems lol here's the picture when it was just done

so obviously I out grow this now looking where the hell where my shoes lol
 then I bought this little guy and it wasn't enough , I was like the old lady that lived in a shoe that's how I felt !!
 so as you see this middle table here was doing nothing just laying there so I put it to work I made it my make up desk !!! and it fit perfect  and I come up with this amazing idea to move my shelf toward to middle so I can have access on both sides check it it out

back side


So it was a total win I took the back off the shelves and a placed shoes on both sides !!! and had room for one little shelf for the hubs!! and a little sitting area and a jewelry and purse section
it was just getting better and better I go these storage bins form Ikea and made a little jewelry section featuring my two CL shoes that I have I have to show you  my new pair on another post   !! anyways and some purses  not all of them some are on the top in there boxes .
so after doing the closet it was time to start... what was the first thing that started all this the make up section I painted it Ivory and boy did it blow up the section.
I had shelves that had to placed so the handy hubs got it done thank you honey bunz

so the following pictures lay back and enjoy my extreme hard work 

hope you liked it ladies sorry its such a long post thanks for stopping by if question let me know love to know what you guys think !!

Elbow grease

Hey you guys !! so I've been off my blog for a second, but my office stressed me out so much and I've been enjoying it so much I was on deco rehab I swear. But I did want to share some project I did with my office so I can wrap  it up and move on to the bathroom yes you heard right the bathroom !!! can't wait I'm thinking HOT PINK  !!!

so here's a easy way to not over spend on cute deco pieces all you need is some imagination
I thought these vases where so cute but not liking that ugly brown
Doesn't look like anyone else liked them to on clearance for 2 bucks
Nothing some spray paint can't fix ... actually I don't even know if this was the right spray can but this is what  I had at hand . I went with white since there white anyways

Nothing like a new paint job  they look awesome right !!!
In the space perfect right and for 4 bucks you can't bet it

SO next was my desk this was a challenge I knew what I wanted but wasn't finding it anywhere , so when your looking for a particular thing widen you search . Craig list , ebay , yard sales what ever it takes to find what you want . Well I found my desk on Craig list at a local store / thrift shop / antique store . SO antique stores scare me honestly everything really old and very expensive so I was kinda unsure but we went anyways.
 
And there it was a solid wood white desk with the perfect drawers and perfect handles  but did need a repaint so I bought it for 200 bucks which it was a bit high but perfect at the same time . I knew I couldn't find it anywhere else . And I drove all the way to West Hollywood so why not 

 Here's the desk as you can see it was brown and one time but they painted it white and missed allot of spots 
 SO I started I took out the drawers
And the hard ware
got special wood paint ,no its not green the tray was green from the last paint a roll brush and a regular painter brush .
I did it all and got all these black corners


then placed the drawers and didn't close them they can get stuck if the paint is  wet ekkk
 and now just waited for it to dry this paint is strong so wear a face mask !!! you don't want to pass out lol
And there you have a brand new desk with a classic feel , I put so much work in this desk because this is what I had pictured for the space . So if you want something you have to work hard for it and that was the case here  !!!

and you guys saw this picture already , but here's the finish desk look 

 So that finishes the office  I have so many new ideas stay tune folks

I'll leave the light on for you

Hey hello there and welcome to all my new followers thanks for stopping by I wanted to share with you some new additions to my desk . And show you that you don';t have to place a desk lamp on a desk ... check this out
So I brought in this pattern in my carpet I figured I would bring in the shelves to tie in the space .

SO instead of placing it as a desk lamp I placed right behind the desk on the shelf and lights up perfectly . pattern of the lamp shade makes the white pop .
Love it ...
At night it reflect beautifully , reminds me of a recces lighting
Here's some little things I got for my desk top a Ipad dock and a pink picture frame , that I placed a picture of my husband making a funny face when we went Paris love this picture puts a smile on my face =)
Along with this scent perfume bottle smells so good with the wind from the window it brings in such a pleasant smell
This cute glass box that also has a similar black and white pattern that I wanted to in-corp with the deco .The Box really doesn't have a function but it brings the pattern up towards the desk .
And this awesome mouse pad note thing so cute 

so that's it for now but I have plenty more just not enough fingers to type fast lolol 

"When everything is wrong I look at your picture , and it makes me smile "

The greatest place !!!

SO hello there thanks for stopping by !!! I have the finish project the office is completed let the office speak for it's self 
I couldn't wait for the paint to dry to put this frame it looked to plain with the fabric so I went with the mirror inside makes it look like art 
So here's where the purple came in the drapes I placed them all the way till the top to make the illusion of a taller ceiling
I needed shelves since it was going to be a office, I got these two white shelves and complemented the frame and the mirror !!! I used the hole wall that we worked so hard for =)
So I had brought lime green and purple accessorizes for the shelves I had more green then purple so the purple really stood out !!! I didn't want to over clutter the shelves to I kept it to a minimum ...

I added the rug that I had before I didn't think it worked but it did it fit perfectly 
Then I got this antique desk , that I refinished that I will show you on another post 
and I got this very cool mag  rack form Ikea  love it
This is also a chair that I refinished that I 'll show you guys
All the pieces came together  and here it !!! my office

was allot of hard work !!! but look at this space I must say I'm totally showing off hahah I just love it and I'm very blessed to had the opportunity to have this done my Hubs and my dad helped so much love them and thank you so much 


So here's the before 

and the after
