This Red Thing Is Cramping My Style!

I haven't been here in a while. 

Clearly, I'm not cutout for this blogging stuff BUT I try

Here we go...

I decided to embark on a refurbishing enterprise

I want my apartment to have a

"Modern-shabby-chic"

Feel to it and 

This bright red bookcase was just

Ruining all possibilities of modern-shabby-chic!

So I headed over to Home Depot,

Tackled down the nearest sales associate in the

Paint department, and drilled him with all the

Questions I had

I came out with these supplies and some 

Behr Premium Plus Ultra Paint And Primer In One

I decided to first build myself a 

~Plastic Fortress~

To keep in all the dust from scuffing

Aka light sanding

Only one problem..

I used painters tape to secure the plastic to the

Ceiling and walls and when I went to check it the next morning

I got this

:(

Darn plastic fortress!!

I gave up on the fortress and just went to work

It got messy but it didn't get ugly

It dried fairly quick so I finished it up in about eight hours

(Dinning out with my cousin is included in those eight hours. 

I had paint on my nails, hands, elbows, legs...)

And Voile!

The new bookcase

Ahhhh such a relaxing color...

The red was screaming, 

"Geronimo! Yabbah Dabah Doo! Arrrrghh!"

And the light light blue is whispering,

"Wooosaahh, angels, breathe, unicorns, relaxation"

I also changed the door knobs to these super cute glass and gold beauties

ONE minor issue

(Or major depending on your anal-ism-istic levels)

I think the bookcase needed thorough sanding and

Not only scuffing because the paint comes off O_O

Yah, I'll live with it...

For now
