Jumping on the DIY Bandwagon

I've had it. I'm done. I can no longer live in a bland, color-less, personality-less, boring bachelor pad. The time has come for a serious apartment revamp. You may ask, "How in the world are you going to redecorate with a job that soaks up all your time and energy, and a salary that goes almost exclusively to savings?" Excellent question. But FEAR NOT virtual world! I am determined to bring some color to our apartment! It might take all my yard sale bartering skills, it might take patience to find the perfect material (magically 90% off), it might take all the creativity I can muster, it might take hours of convincing a certain spouse that a certain clock would really look better with a little paint, it might even require that I delve into the s-word realm (shopping- gross), but I WILL find ways to bring our apartment to life!!!
I SHALL CONQUER!!

  4. The backdrop for your life is important! Maybe you should ask for Michael's or JoAnne's gift cards for your b-dash! Do they have those stores in IN?
