I just bought this beauty.

This gigantic poster is 36″x48″. Huge pieces of artwork don’t usually come cheap (believe me, I’ve looked) and I love photographs of crystals. It’s brooding and *dare I say it,* sexy! Debbie also makes other prints (and in color too) so do check out her shop! I still need to figure out how to hang it though. I’m thinking… custom framing job.
Initially I had the idea of painting a huge abstract canvas. My first painting project was a success… but I don’t think I can find an inexpensive canvas with the amount of depth that I’d like and the pressure of figuring out what to paint is too much. What if I mess up?
Here is where the poster is going to go:
I think many people would say I’m making a mistake by replacing the Michelle Armas canvas print. I received a lot of compliments on the piece from my EveryGirl feature… Don’t get me wrong I really like the print but honestly I would have preferred her darker, cool-toned Secret Garden work instead. I like pinks but I think I prefer them in smaller doses.
There’s also another important reason why I’m changing up the decor.
I have officially asked Justin to move in with me next year when his lease is up.
(Whooooop!)
This will be the first time I’ve officially moved in with a boy! It’ll be easier on both of our budgets so we can save a little bit more for our future together. In the past I told Justin that once we move in together I’d make the place a little more gender-neutral. The bedroom is already on the masculine side but the gigantic PINK print won’t work anymore. And I’d love a change!
This Lonny photo is still haunting me! I already have the brass lamp too.
This is also why I’m trying to pare down my things. We are going to be living in a >900 sq ft space! I’ve already emptied out the 2nd master closet for him in preparation. (And the closets we have are not very big.) I need to learn to live with less and it’ll take some time to get used to it.
I’m excited! 😀
