It's Just What I do

Ok, so last week was not greatest for me and I thank everyone for the cyber hugs and encouragement!

I love you all!!

I tend to deal with stress in a certain way to get me through and I am pretty sure that a lot of you out there do the same thing.....

I don't smoke

I don't do drugs

I don't drink (a lot) :)

I don't exercise (although I really should)

I PAINT!!!!

Since I still had a ton of paint left over from my hutch and entry way re-paint, I decided to paint one more room using those colors.

My bedroom!

I know you might be thinking, "Gosh Michelle, aren't you getting a little carried away with that paint?"

The answer to that is, yes, I most likely am. I don't know why I do it, I just get something that I love and then I run with it until I tell myself to stop or I run out of paint!

Here is what it looked like before

Bright and cheery and summery..

I love it!

But, I felt like I needed a change and now it looks like this..

I feel it is still beachy, but in a sandy-colored way. In the summer I can add my aquas here and there but I am really loving the warmth and coziness of the new color.

I purchased the comforter set which came with the comforter, two king shams and three throw pillows at TJ Maxx for about $110.00.

I thought that it was a good price, everywhere I looked the comforters alone were $100 to $200!

My hubby loves gray (and I do too) and I just love the little ruffles to give it that feminine touch!

The sheets I also got at TJ Maxx for about $30 for a king set. I picked out a brown that matches the wood that I have been adding around my house.

Remember my junk shelf that I picked up about a month ago?

I painted that the same way that I painted my Nantucket sign

and added my beach goodies.

I am thinking about adding some curtains to the four posts on my bed but haven't decided for sure on that one.

So, there you have it, some drink, some smoke, and some exercise their stress away,

me,

I paint!!!

I am linking up to parties on my Linky Party tab!
