Cotorra!
That's what I've been called! Last week I saw this pic on a blog and I just loved it.
I love the wood and white with the green as the focus point. Then on Sunday I found this at my fav place... TJ Maxx. I found it in the clearance section all the way in the back! It was only $7. I just had to get it.
On Sunday, a mass for the 1 year anniversary of my grandma's passing was said and for some reason after her passing I have grown very fond of birds... I don't know why. I think maybe she liked them or for some reason they remind me of her... anyways, I think she also called me cotorra sometime. I don't know where I am going with this... but finding the ceramic parrot felt good, kinda like a hug from my grandma. Maybe I am crazy, but I am so happy with my new "pet".

My Own Dressing Room!
A couple months ago I saw a posting on a dressing room. The couple had an extra room in their house and the wife decided to make it her dressing room! How great is that?! Well, since I do live in a studio with not even a bedroom... I can't quite have that... but I do have a small closet room!
A trip to Wal-Mart got the decorating juices flowing... I got a $3 poster, a $7 frame and a $10 rug. I also moved a lamp from the "living room" and waaalaaa! I got me a dressing room!
At one point I was upset with myself for getting the red dresser instead of the black one. It has been two years since I changed my bedroom decor from red to green to blue... so the dresser stood out like a sore thumb (literally!), but when I saw this pic it all fell into place!
I also thought the framed poster made it more glam than a mirror could. I already have a full length mirror so I won't be missing out on anything. What do u think? I love it!
It also makes me want to keep an organized closet. Which the actual closet part is still a WIP, but I will keep you updated on any progress.
