Girl with the Pink Toolbelt

Not much has gone on in Kristi's Palace since I redid the screened porch I won't go much into it but yesterday I started sanding the dresser that I recently purchased for the new TV stand for my living room.  If you are friends with me on FB then you saw what it originally looked like.  Can't wait for the finished product. One thing that has happened the last couple of weeks was some of my flowers started to bloom.  I also planted 2 new rose bushes in front of my dining room windows.  The daffodils and tulips that I planted last fall have come up around the two tress on the side of my yard.  See how pretty they are? I also seeded the lawn so hopefully some of the dirt patches will fill in and the lawn will look a little bit better this summer.  But because I did that, I can't put the weed killer on it for another 5 weeks.  So I'm totally rocking the free dandelions ALL OVER my yard.  Whatevs.  I'm a little disappointed in...

OK if one could actually marry a screened porch, I'd be the first in line to get that marriage certificate.  I mean, in some states you can marry a goat, so I'm thinking I might just have a chance with my porch.  This makeover is FAR from done but the last two days I have spent almost every waking hour out there fixing 'er up and getting 'er done.  Beware, you might want to go potty or get a drink cuz this is gonna be a long one.  Don't say I didn't warn you. If you've followed this blog for a while, you will know that I hate my screened porch.  Like DESPISE it.  I was so unbelievably excited to spend $5,000 on it when purchasing my mansion.  I had dreams of sitting out there, bug free, enjoying the sunsets with a nice cold beer.  All of the houses that I toured did not have a screened porch and when I closed on my house, I knew why.  Cuz it was the worst $5,000 I had ever spent.  And I throw 5 G's around like it's nothing, l...

So what started out as a simple mirror swap turned into a complete bathroom makeover.  Cuz no, I can never make anything easy.  Never. It started out with me looking for a really ornate mirror for my upstairs bathroom.  After searching for about a year to no avail, I finally found something that fit that bathroom more than the idea in my head.  You can read about that mirror by clicking here  So literally the day after posting about the purple mirror- I went shopping and found....you guessed it.... my ornate mirror.  Of course I did.  Although it's not as ornate as the one in my head- if that even exists- it is just dainty enough for the powder room downstairs.

If you think that one mirror post was enough- brace yourself bitches- I've got three!  But for now we'll stick with the 2nd.  I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with my awesome spray painting skills all at once.  Since I had a case of the trigger finger from working on my new aqua mirror-which you can read about by clicking   here I was super antsy to get the second mirror done and hung up.  Which meant that I'd also need to take down the recently framed mirror first. Which was a bitch.  Needless to say, he's a little broken post removal. Well this one was definitely not the color that I wanted but I just fell in lurv with the shape of it in the store.  I figured that I'd put it in the upstairs bathroom but at least gave it a try in the downstairs powder room.  And that was a no go.  But luckily I just got home with mirror numero tres for that room.  Yippie! After I tested it out here- - I knew this was the right spot for it. ...
