REINVENT

















Every now and then i get an itch that tells me it’s time to update my wardrobe, get a fresh hair cut, or change up my room. It happens quite frequently with me, actually, as most of my friends will tell you my hair style changes as often as the weather in San Francisco…Unfortunately, my budget can no longer keep up with my periodic tendencies so I’ve had to find alternatives to satisfy the need for constant newness. While I wish I could change the color of my room at the snap of a finger, for example, time and money will not allow so lately I’ve become kind of obsessed with painting old furniture. It gives my room a new look and feel without spending more than a few bucks and in very little time.

Each piece took me less than an hour to do. I just wish I had some before shots so you could see how bland these looked before. (the mannequin went from white with a silver pole to pepto bismol pink with neon pink splashes, turquoise on the top, and a gold pole/ the desk: black to a deep orange/ the night stand (bought off a co-worker): wood with many scratches and water marks to a lovely olive green)
