Wall!

Here is the entire wall
Getting ready in the morning.
Stationary










I tried to make as much as possible be functional, so here are my "getting ready" and "stationary" stations. 
 
Shelves and decorations

More decorations












Some things are functional only in making me feel comfortable and at home, but I think that's ok for once.

Re-painted mirror
The metal decorations on the full length mirror started out all red (do you see any red in my room?) so I painted it to look like daisies.  It took me a couple of coats and a little bit of patience but the paint covered it ok. 

Most of my decorations were found at craft stores like Ben Franklin and boutiques like Joyworks. 

Clock Part II

After spending some time with my new clock (see earlier post), I decided the fabric I chose was more Hawaiian and less formal than I was looking for so I updated it. 
Since the fabric is primarily white, I needed a background that wouldn't let the ugly butterfly original show through.  I have a pink fabric background underneath that you can see better in person. 
Because of the double fabric I needed something other than the glue dots.  Instead, I used mod podge, which dries clear and smooth.  I use it for a lot of projects, so I just had some laying around the house. 
Enjoy!
