A whole new beginning....



From this.... a wall bombarded by two large pieces of furniture, solid pieces which were constant statues in the room of where I've grown up. There comes a time in someones life when they need some sort of change, whether that be an environment change, emotional change, or physical change....
it comes knocking on the door of everyone one of us.... and recently to mine...... a knock that came in the change of  environment......
My best friend Kim decided to jump head first into re-inventing and refurbishing a beauty vanity that has been in her family for longer then our own time lines date back. A birthday present for none other than myself, and I couldn't of felt more honored. She painted it a chrome brown and reupholstered it..... This amazing piece of furniture inspired me to rearrange my entire room....
Yesterday we removed the GI-GAN-TA-SOAR-OUS armourer that once took up most of  the right side part of my abode.  Kim and I were on a mission to move it from my room, to my balcony... and we did it.
Hundred something pound, large ass hunk of wood, tilted and brought back up again outside.... 
WE DID IT!

(Don't hate on the gloves, when you move furniture that has sat for years, there is bound to be mounds of dust)



......Resulting in this....
a little love + wall art + new carpets = a whole new look on life... I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed waking up every morning in a changed environment, even it if has only changed a little.  It still lifts my spirit.





* A special thanks to my best friend.... my someone who is always willing to do whatever, no matter the time or day.... a someone who knows who I'm about, what I need to hear, and what I don't. I love you Kimi and I always will- Ronnie *
