"More For Me"

I went out to Home Sense today looking for a chair for my desk, with a particular idea in mind and I found it! I love Home Sense.

Perfection...

After much hmming and hawing over a duvet cover, I decided to go with a damask print in red and burgundy. I think the other duvet cover set will go much better in Dad's room. I'm still hmming and hawing about that one. It's kinda pricey ( I did find another website that has it that does ship to Canada). The one I'm getting for myself is a steal of a deal. Only 4-8 business days and my room can look like this...

Minus all the extra pillows.

Thanks Overstock.com.

Now back to Dad's room. I washed down the wall that the wallpaper will be going on. I went to Home Depot and picked up my very own wallpaper kit. And purchased Shieldz Clear Wall Size. It prepares the surface for wallpaper, makes positioning easy, and helps adhesion. At least thats what the container says. I had it tinted a chocolate brown so that if any seems show through the wallpaper it won't be as noticeable. One step at a time. Wall size tomorrow. Then paint my primed walls, 2 coats. Then wallpaper. I'm still stressed about pattern matching and doing it all by my lonesome.

I suppose we shall see how diy-y I am afterall.

Update August 22: I caved. I got the duvet set for Dad's room. Spending Spree now over. So has to be over.
