Sweet Somethings: Man Cave

I'm generally pretty productive. I get stuff done when I need to and sometimes before I need to. But today I was productive on crack. I seriously got my butt kicked with the amount of work I got done, even after getting up at 10:30. I had to start by seriously scrubbing my skin raw to get the paint off from yesterday. I crashed last night before I got a chance to shower which left caked and dried paint up and down my legs and arms.

At work we have this huge storage room which frankly was a freaking disaster. You could barely see the floor and you couldn't find anything. Being as organized as I am, it secretly irked me beyond belief. My coworker, LaHoma also runs a separate business, See More Celebrations,( a really cool kids birthday party company) and had a lot of her supplies stored in there as well. So today we teamed up to begin the grueling task of taking alllllll of the crap out of the room, organizing it, and putting it back. We must be on the brink of insanity because anyone in their right mind wouldn't take on a task like that, and that probably how it ended up looking like that in the first place. I must say that I am truly devastated that I didn't get a picture of it all before, and for that matter what it looked like after. Because after 4 hours, the room was truly night and day, and we aren't even finished yet. I think I went through about 12 boxes of things which out of those 6 stayed. It was was hard work to say the least, but as I like to say "Workin' hard or hardly working'!"

All of that wiped me out. I was tired and grumpy and what better to cheer me up than catching up on So You Think You Can Dance. I was thrilled to see Jess go home but less than extacic to see Jordan go home. I can't wait until Melinie wins the whole thing!

My mom cooked a huge meal tonight including scalloped potatoes. I can freaking chow on that stuff right there. The whole family was over plus Kek's Bff at the end. I love how dysfunctional this picture is, but its who we are.

After Din, I went up stairs to wrap up the last patch of painting. Can I just say that when I pored the paint out I had a heart attack cause it looked pink.. So it looks red in his picture, but seriously it. was. pink.

The stripe ended up needing 3 coats of paint. Luckily, it was just a small patch of the wall! Here is the finished product. I love the burst of color it adds to the monochromatic colors already in the room.

Remember these crates?

I had an epiphany to hang them on the wall like a book shelf to hold all our dvds and knick knacks and not to ring my own bell but it turned out pretty dang awesome.

We didn't pay anything for the knick knacks. I ran around the house finding things that would look cool, like my collection of vintage camera, a mason jar, old baseball and an old glass coke bottle. And although the picture doesn't do it justice, I love the functionality and the height it adds to the room. And ways here are some pictures of the semi-decorated man cave. There wasn't much light so excuse the poor quality photos.
