My first spring/summer shoe purchase.
These studded gladiator flip flops were screaming my name at Target today.
They are so versatile + comfy.
They come in a lot of colors and I am definitely gonna splurge another $12.99 for the turquoise pair.

What are you LOVING these days, my little chickens?

Here's what I did over the weekend:

(besides eat and drink beer)

DIY: Spray Paint
My new additions to my room:
They were a gift from a family friend.
(there's a matching bookshelf, also)
I loved them + they are super useful.
BUT I was so not crazy about the formica fake wood.
woof.

Since my wall are like a medium gray, I wanted another deep color than could easily translate as I change and rearrange.  In my bedroom, I like darker neutrals with pops of color that I can change often, because I get bored easily.

(This is my first love affair with spray paint*, we didn't get along the whole day, but we may have a second date- it just depends)

FIRST, I primed everything.

THEN I PAINTED

yeah, i'm not that technical.

I wanted the nightstand to be different so I chose a purple to match my tapestry.

Oh and Ozzy really wanted to be a part of this DIY reveal.

What a ham.

For the dresser and bookshelf- I went with Valspar's Indigo Streamer.

It didn't photograph well and the lighting is HORRIBLE (its actually darker than this), 

but TRUST ME it looks FAB against the gray walls.

I will tackle the bookshelf another weekend.  I think I got carpal tunnel syndrome 

from holding the spray button for so long.

*I don't claim to have any knowledge of painting, and I am certainly not an expert. I live and learn from doing.  It was fun and if you want to spice things up in your area, it was pretty easy :)

XOXO
