My bff's headboard!!

Apparently, we're in full-blown new headboard season. And I thought it was just Thanksgiving. One of my bff's, who is super-talented, painted an old headboard. After a good bit of back-and-forth with what to paint, he decided on VanGogh's "Vincent's Bedroom in Arles". How fun is this?
thanks to my friend, rickybobby, for sending me the pics!!

I found it!

Well, I found multiple things. One, I found my new favorite store... Called EQ3, they have a *bunch* of great stuff there. Mostly a modern vintage-y vibe, but also set up similarly to Ethan Allen. Which makes no sense. Because Ethan Allen is neither modern nor vintage. Silly. I'm talking about the showroom-style-ness of it all. But you can also run in and grab stuff. The floor samples are super-cheap, so next time I'm looking for some furniture, I'm going there. Or rather, the first time I ever go furniture shopping, I'm going there. Maybe when I grow up, I'll look into that.

Two, I found my new duvet cover. I bought one, brought it home, and it was all wrong. Wrong color, wrong vibe, wrong wrong wrong. And it was like $130 or so. Which was a bit out of my price range. So I took it back and got this one instead. Right right right. Exactly what I wasn't looking for and fell in love with anyway. (Wonder if that's how it's going to be with my future hubby?!) Anyway, I digress. Took this bad boy up to the register, and plopped down a whopping $32. A birthday miracle!! And happiness happens to me any time I walk into my room.

My. New. House.

Here it is. In all of it's messyness and unfancy glory. I kept getting pressure to post some pictures, and despite the fact that nothing is presentable and ready for pictures, I kept getting pressure. So I gave up trying to get the house ready for pictures, because, let's be honest... it's going to take months... years, even, to get the house picture-ready. Years may be a little dramatic, but you get the point. I bit the bullet and posted pics of my unfinished bed/headboard combination, so I might as well post pics of the unfinished house.



And here she is.

The front living room. And Ed.

The kitchen.

The back living room.

And the best part about my house.
