Gearing Up To Return

 Each year I decorate my room and say I will not redo it the following year. However, there is just something about beginning a new school year, coupled with Pinterest, that makes me want to redo my room Every. Single. Year.  So...here is what I walked into at the end of July.

It was a BIG mess because we have to clean our rooms out, completely, before we leave for summer vacation. It's always overwhelming when I walk back in for the first time so it typically takes a few trips before I get in a good working groove. 

When I left for the beach on August 2nd this is what I had accomplished. 

I am not finished with my room but I got enough accomplished so that I cou,d leave town until school starts back and not return in a full panic. I painted the front wall and a tree on the side wall, redid bulletin boards, rearranged, mod podged my filing cabinet, & made several new decor items. I have several things left to do when I return like:  hang clips from the ceiling, fill up wall space, decorate my back cabinets, and create a writing center. 

Also, these lovelys are being mailed out tomorrow. Will one arrive at your house???
