Let's Make This Place Homey!



Happy Monday! (Kindof, Sorry this is late!)

Sorry for my posts being fairly few and far between lately. The last week has been crazy! I worked what felt like a million hours including training our newest waitress (a.k.a MY younger sister!) and on top of that I had to prepare for my first ever gallery show in the states (more news on that later!) as well as pack and move to Philadelphia! Can you tell I'm a recovering procrastinator?

In stead of accomplishing things I was busy running around with this lady! (My best friend, Tori)
Coincidentally, she inspired my craft/ art tutorial this week! 

Although I have not had as much time lately to blog as much as I wanted, I want to uphold my promise to post an art/craft related segment every Monday (ish). SO! This week's crafty idea comes from my BFF. This girl is the MOST organized person I know and her room looks like a pier one imports. Unfortunately, we were not all granted the gift of having it together, so I tend to follow in her foot steps in an effort to figure it out. She is now helping me uphold 2 of my new year's goals: to keep a blog and to get organized! 


Tori gave me the idea for these beautiful shelves! Which were SUPER cheap and are now acting as my DIY vanity :) 

I was really searching for inspiration for my new place in Philly. When you're in college you are constantly moving every few months so it is hard to ever really get comfortable. But I want to use this new semester to open up my creativity, organization, and patience to feel at home. These shelves are perfect because I feel like the "dorm" way of life always leaves girls doing their make up on the floor or taking up the already crowded bathroom. 

I purchased these shelves and wall mounts at the home depot for about $25 total! 





Luckily I had my handy dandy men to help put this together :)
Clearly, I was extremely helpful.

SUPPLIES:

  • Stud finder
  • tape measurer
  • drill
  • level 
  • all screws and attachment came with wall mounts
I mean really, it was simple, they just had to measure and drill them into the wall. But they were so quick, easy, and effective! 

Tada! 

...if only unpacking were so easy

Zach was thrilled to help though!

I hope everyone has a happy and productive Tuesday! And I'll get myself into my new schedule in Philly so I can hopefully post everyday!
