Pretty Things make me Happy!

So I promised to finish a DIY project this weekend and I delivered!! Yesterday while Antz and Liv were napping, I was working hard in the kitchen. We have *the worst paint job* cabinets that were embarrassingly full of unorganized dishes and food. It was a total mess. I bought some cabinet liner paper almost 6 months ago that I intended to use in the hallway linen cabinet. I wasn't in love with the paper I bought so I never used it.

Our messy linen cabinet/liner dots paper

I want a bright turquoise and yellow print for the cabinet. As you can see the cabinet needs organizing and better storage. I have too many toiletries and hair products. So Antz was getting on my ass about when I was going to finish that project so I thought I would buy new paper *in a print I liked better*. While I was at Target with Aimee a few weeks ago, I saw some really pretty wrapping paper. I wanted liner paper because it's thicker and has a sticky side but I figured, I could use wrapping paper and tape and...

"Make it work" as Tim Gun says.

It wasn't difficult at all *after some serious scrubbing*, I just measured the cabinets, cut and taped...easy peasy!

 It helped that the paper was premium *it had some foil in it* quality because it was pliable which made it easy to fit into corners without tearing.

 The walls were disgusting! I used bleach spray and Kaboom to get the gunk out.

 Only we would have a photo of us in our cabinets *total Narcissists!* 
I wish I had prettier dishes and cups*sads*

The spice cabinets before...what slobs!! 

 I was starting a Santos *that's Saints to you heathens* candle collection but the other ones are super scary *like Carrie* looking.

I threw out stuff we never used and by the time I was finished, the cabinets looked less crowded and gave me room for...

My Target canisters!! I really wanted them and I was annoyed I didn't buy them last Thursday with Aimee *especially since they were on clearance* So Antz and I went to our Target *I knew they wouldn't have them* Boo, I had to call like 6 Target's to find them. We had to drive all the way to the East Pasadena store but I got them and they were even cheaper than the ones I saw at the Culver City store! *SWEET*. I was worried for a second they wouldn't fit on the *oddly sized* shelf but I am so happy with how pretty it turned out. I can't wait to do the linen cabinet and maybe even the laundry nook too!

This month is flying by so I had to revisit my Things to Do list and get started on more projects.

I still have a ton of stuff to do...*it's overwhelming* I just got a 10% coupon from Target to use before November 22nd but I wish I had it 3 weeks ago when I spent almost $200 on just household stuff!! Maybe I can finally get the bedding I've been drooling over?

I am so Happy Happy, yesterday I got the tickets for Yo Gabba Gabba Live! We have been listening to the Music is Awesome playlist day and night so we are super stoked to go.
