Room ReDec!

We finally finished! :D 
The downstairs bedroom is now officially my craft/ clothes/ and spare bedroom room :D 
I think it turned out so rad, but don't take my word for it! Tons of pictures!:

The three little illustrations shown above are prints from the amazing crazy talented Ambird. Who also now has a blog!! ^_^ check her out here: amberlynnseegmiller.blogspot.com
The best part is, we only spent $100 on the whole room! I used a ton of thrifted finds I had that were mismatched throughout the house and combined them in this lovely sparkly room! I wish the pictures came out clearer to accurately represent all of the awesome haha. It's full of color and brightness and tons of art and gemstones and crafts supplies and cloootthhess! We were running out of room for all of them in the rest of the house heh. Speaking of sparkly awesomeness, I tried Sally Johnson Salon Effects nail strips today and they came out amazing! 

I'll have to do a full review sometime! They were pretty time consuming, but pretty worth it I'd say! :)

Not everything this weekend was as awesome though, on our way home from shopping for all of these things, a truck turned into our lane and smashed up my little Kia pretty bad :( 

Thankfully no one was hurt, (except a pretty whopper bruise on my knee) and I think the insurance will cover everything, but it was just not a fun way to start the weekend ya know?

Ah well, everything will work out.
I've missed you guys!

All the best and brightest,
Grace Elizabeth.

Oh My Gosh

I feel freaking terrible about not blogging in so long! 
We're trying to get the downstairs bedroom renovated into a craft/clothes area for me on top of the portraits I'm working on and a crazy week at work= crapping blogging by Grace.

I'm so dang sorry guys!
I will be back as soon as I can :D 

I hope you guys are having an amazing week.
Let me know how you've been?

All the best, 
Grace Elizabeth.

WIHWW

For this post, I'm joining the sweet and hilarious Pamplemousse  and To Make Love Stay in their "What I Honestly Wore Wednesday" feature.


I thought it would be a nice chance to get a little real with ya'll :)


It's all well and good to see someone's outfit after they spent 2 hours getting ready to go to a special event, but it's another thing entirely to see what they wore to work after waking up 20 minutes late haha. I want you guys to feel like you know me, the real me. I want to be friends :) So here goes:


What I (Honestly) Wore Wednesday: 




This may not look too horrendous, paired with the wicked adorable scarf my Momma loomed for me :D (she's amazing- she's made me one in every color within like 3 weeks!) but trust me- the shoes are completely falling apart, hair went unwashed- cardigan roughly 6 years old :P


And oooooh, check out my super fashionable work lab coat. Irresistible- I know :P


I did, however put a little bit of time into my slightly grody hair using this tutorial 

from the always amazing Elsie Larson- honestly, is there a more innovative, hardworking, creative lady out there? Color me jealous!


I hope you enjoyed this little look into my real life haha, more to come the upcoming Wednesday's I'm sure, and be sure to check out the past WIHM posts from Pamplemousse and To Make Love Stay - they're fantastic! :)


All the best my lovely readers!
Grace Elizabeth.
