Vloggin' Vednesday {Guilty Pleasures}

Filed Under: Family

Photobucket

Here is my Vloggin’ Vednesday this week.  “Guilty Pleasures” – OK, we know you’ve got ‘em, let ‘em all hang out.

{You Tube always picks the worse starting picture}

I lowered my quality of video and guess what? It only took 8 minutes to upload. Woohoo! I did normal quality at smaller pixels. I can deal with 8 minutes. A lot better then 3 hours last week. I also used Andie and Ashley’s trick about manually focusing this time. I had Dustyn get in the chair {by bribing him with the m&m’s. I think it worked better. I actually put on make up this week, but you can’t really tell cause it is so far away. ha ha. My dogs were totally trying to get my peanut butter m&m’s. I was giving them the evil eye.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
