Girl with the Pink Toolbelt

So I teased out a picture the other day- did you see it?  Did you make any guesses as to what it was going to end up?  Some of the guesses were pretty hilarious! Well here is what it turned into.....

I typed that post title and realized it sounds a lot kinkier than it really is.  Heeeeeeeey boys!  I bet I'll get some pervs searching Google and will come up with that title and they'll be all excited when they click the link only to find out this is a post about change out beds, not the people who are in them.  Sorry to disappoint.  Freaks.  Anyway- on to the bed swapping. So first thing this morning I tackled taking apart the bed in the back spare room.  This room was the room that I stayed in for the first year + after buying this house.  So it technically was the first room done.  But even though it was "done" it was NOT to my liking.  It was super boring.  I never had a problem falling asleep in this room because it was such a snoozefest. I keep the doors closed to the two spare bedrooms so that I don't pay to heat or cool them since no one stays in them.  So I didn't really mind at first just how ugly it was.  But since I started adding some pops of

This weekend I knocked another project off of the To Do List.  This one I've been wanting to do for quite some time- but just haven't found the right fabric for it.  So it sat and sat and sat.  Until a series of unfortunate events happened. It all started when Miss Wendy and I went shopping and I found this super cute duvet cover. {My apologies to Colin & Justin for what is coming next} I was just planning on swapping out the pink accents with some sort of bright green.  Except I couldn't find green anything- anywhere.  UGH.  So this sat on the bed for weeks. Snoooooooooozefest.  Booooooooooring. Laaaaaaaaaaaaame.  It did come with pillow shams but those were being used for something else when I took this picture.  Just wait.  You'll see in a minute.  With the tan walls and gray bedding this room definitely needed a pop of color.  But there was just something about this duvet that wasn't sitting right with me.  I loved the look of it on the packag

Hi All!!  So last week marked the 2nd year anniversary of me starting Girl With The Pink Toolbelt.  Crazy how some days it seems like it was just yesterday that I designed the blog and wrote my first post and then other times it seems like I've totally run out of shit to talk about.  Who knows how long I will keep these shenanigans up- could be another year or 10.  I guess as long as you are all still reading I will keep posting!  Believe me, I have plenty of projects coming down the pipeline that I'm sure you are just on the edge of your seats waiting for.  Sarcasm at it's finest there.  I was actually talking to my dad tonight about his ever growing list of things to do when he comes out again (possibly this summer!) so this mama either needs to get a 2nd job to save up some money or I'm going to have to pimp myself out on the weekends.  I'm not a fan of fishnets and pleather.  Just sayin.  One of the two big projects will be either the wood floors in the enti
