Yesterday afternoon my dad came to College Station to help me paint my apartment. I have been wanting to paint my living room/kitchen for awhile now...I am so happy it is finally done! My friend Kristan also helped us...she was such a big help! Thanks so much Kristan! When my dad got here we went to Home Depot to pick out the paint I wanted and to get the supplies. Afterwards we went an ate at Los Cucos....which is my favorite Mexican restaurant here in CS. So...it was after 8:00 before we started painting! Ha! We finished most of it last night by like 1:00...today we just had to do touch ups.
This past summer I added leopard decorations to my apartment for a new look. I decided to paint the walls in my living room a goldish tan color. It turned out GREAT! It matches perfectly!
I really wanted to hang up the cute curtains my Aunt Tina made me this weekend but the curtain rod we bought yesterday did not fit. We went all over town today looking for another rod but all the stores were sold out (this weekend is move in weekend here at A&M....so I'm guessing that's why). I am hoping I can get them up SOON! They are going to look great with my new wall color!
Here are some pictures of my living room before I added the leopard decorations and painted it:

NOW AFTER...
Isn't that leopard lamp not the cutest thing? I have been looking for it at EVERY Hobby Lobby and I finally found it yesterday! It was only $14.99 too!!
I decided to paint the wall above the table in my kitchen red. I am not sure if I like or not? I also painted above my cabinets red too. My mom came today to pick up my dad and she is not too sure about it either. What do YOU think? My mom thinks it should be painted the goldish tan color too. (I could not hang a picture on this wall yet because it was still too wet).

I am SOOO pleased with how everything turned out! I feel like I live in a new apartment! I am so worn out...I will definitely sleep good tonight!!!!
