I was so busy yesterday, I completely forgot to post fluff. Let’s face it: this blog is just fluff, but sometimes that’s what you need because there just isn’t enough Calgon™ to go around.
Anyway, yesterday I decided to go around town looking for cheap junk items of small value to alter for Eldest’s room. As y’all may recall, she wanted me to Steampunk the whole thing. Well, that’s hard to do when she keeps it looking like Hurricane Ike hit it.
And that, my friends, is a VAST improvement over what it was like only two days ago. Because you can walk around the room!! Yes, that’s a strip of duct tape on the corner. And she does write on the little mirrors. By the way, I warned her I would be posting a pic of the DMZ room, so this won’t freak her out. Much… Anyway, today I get to paint PVC pipes, cut up corks and foam insulation board. Oh, and do some fake mercury glass, because I am NOT paying out the nose for that stuff when I can easily fashion my own.
I can’t wait to finish her room, and then I will be waiting impatiently for her to move out so I can take it over 😀

Im not sure if I should be concerned that your daughter has “dict” tape in her rom, or jealous that its placed so dang high up the wall! Anyway, Steampunk is always awesome!

I corrected it!! Also, she’s very tall. She doesn’t get that from me.
I am more excited about her room than she is…. sigh….

Don’t worry, not everyone can be graced with the wisdom and enlightenment to truly enjoy the mysteries of Steampunk. I shall pray for her shiny brass soul.

On pins and needles waiting to see the final outcome!!! Also, soooo jealous of Eldest… No one will do my room for me. 🙂

She is very lucky. And sick. So I’m hoping she gets well enough to finish so I can post the “after” next week 😀
