It’s not the best, but it’s MINE!

The new apartment is getting cozy as I make new additions, and decorative decisions…

 

…here we have my guitars.  I have them propped up in the corner of my bedroom.  I have a lot of cool ideas for my bedroom, but it’ll be awhile before I can afford to make all the changes I want.

 

 

I got the tapistry at the “OOGA BOOGA”, or Stone Tool Show which was held at Camp Anderson this year.  There’s a guy from over the mountain who competes with “Nature’s Habitat” in the mall, which allowed me to get this peacock tapistry for about 10 dollars cheaper.  That said, I want to get a blacklight to have near it in the dark.  It’s going to look TOTALLY psychedelic when it’s done.  In addition, I’m getting glowing mushrooms,  and hanging beads (to close off the open doorway between the bedroom and dining room).  I bought a lot of candles and incense to help give my room a good vibe.  I’ve got a fancy chandelier I made into a swag lamp.:

 

Completely out of place at the moment, I’m wrapping it in a black stretchy material and putting purple flame bulbs in it for a more contemporary effect.  It’ll be hanging over my pc desk and ”art station” in due time.  Comcast hooks up the cable internet Wednesday.
 

The kitchen leaves ample room to cook for a single person:

…yeah, the throw rugs don’t match.  I’m working on it. lol…

 

The bathroom is powder blue.  My  shower curtains have palm trees!

My living and dining rooms are both nature themed.  This is one of the walls in my dining room, decorated with antique watercolor bird art.  I also have a shelf in the corner that holds all my wildlife books, and a small table displaying a mounted mallard for added effect.

 

The living room is more than just unfinnished.  It’s completely devoid of any couch or love seat.  So, my coffee table and lamps sit, unused.  I even bought a red throw for my “eventual” couch.  I got leaf ends for my curtain rods to give the room a nature feel.  Wildlife art decorates each wall, except the largest which holds a Van Gough painting.

 

…back to the dining room.  This cloth makes a nice table cloth…I just need to get someone who can sew to fix the edges.

 

…anyways.  The pc will be over at the apartment in a few days so we can go back to our regularly scheduled blogging.  I found a ton of old artwork I did, and old scrapped ideas that might be reborn into some new art.

As far as the love life goes…I’m still single.  And because I refuse to compromise my friends and new life HERE for this new person, I may very well continue to be single.  He just seems so busy…always partying…never really going above and beyond for me.  I just have that feeling…and I’m not going to repeat it.

Hope you all enjoyed my new place!
