Some recent purchases that I can't wait to come home...LOL. The little guys will look so cute in my kitchen!

Vintage GE Aqua Stove/Oven Combo and Pink/Aqua Kitchen Combo!!!

I am noway affiliated with this person...however I had to post because this is awesome and unfortunately I reside in an apartment...but maybe someone out there might be interested.

These posts are NOT by the same person! Man...I don't understand..if I owned this..I would NOT be selling it! Once again...soooo jealous!

Haven't updated lately. Had a great time at the Nekromantix,Mutilators and Howlers show last week! Venue was a small church..you were right up there next to the bands...it was an amazing time! Nekromantix are my favs and I never miss a chance to see them but this was probably one of my favorite sets that I've seen them perform.



Other than that..not too much going on. I was supposed to be going to Disney for vacation at the end of September but actually called today and cancelled my trip. We just weren't able to afford it at the moment with all our bills and such so we decided that we are going to GO TO GRACELAND INSTEAD!!!!! It's about 600 bucks cheaper than Florida and I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!


I also decided that since we're going to be in our apartment a little longer than we expected since we have to save up as much as we can for a down payment on a home..I'd just go ahead with continuing to customize it. I'm working on the kitchen and decided to go ahead and just paint the full cabinets...where as previous I had a large section of the same color down the center with black pinstripes on each side. I also want to get new bw checkered tile. I mean what..we can always change it before we move or say screw it and just not get our deposit back.I just ordered new cabinet pulls and once I get everything together and all my knick knacks I will post final photos.



Next is the bathroom! I need to decide what I want to do in there....since my apartment is half 50's retro and half horror..I think I wanna go with something retro glam...in either..hmmm pink of course of maybe pale yellow.

I also painted one of my tables pink...I just need to go ahead and clean up the chrome.

Annnnnd....a picture of my table because I loooooove it so much! We got it from a local antique dealer about 3 years ago...It's perfect. The chairs were pulled from the trash and surprisingly match the color PERFECT lol.



The colors of everything don't show well...so much more vibrant in person and the greens are more of a turquoise/seafoam...eventhough the pics make the cupboards look blue-ish....AND don't look at the vomitish tan carpet...sadly that's what I got with my damn apartment :/
Ok I think that's all for now.

Night all

Had a wonderful day out today with the "hubby". Went to one of my favorite diners and had the most delicious belgian tropical waffle...mmm fruit and whipped cream!


Afterwards I wanted to do a little thrifting,so we hit up a local thrift village and goodwill...nothing at all :( I was a little sad but did come out with a few little modern pieces that I just had to have...



Everytime I see these colored cones..I have to pick them up...I figure they'd make great centerpiece options for the wedding.













Next was this little egg....I HAD to have her eventhough she's missing a foot...it reminds me of ones my mum had when I was little.



Lastly was the "Smiling Oscar" repo cookie jar. I knew nothing of it but had to get it because of the look..def adorable and for 4.95..what the hell.
Come to find out it's from the 80's or 90's and was made by Block for an Andy Warhol collection based off of originals he had in his own collection. Pretty cool. Not a lot of info on it that I can find, but I needed it for it's retro look.




After that we stopped at a local car lot and looked at some of the classic cars.
This beauty wanted to come home with me LOL but alas I have no money for her.



Then of course I was hungry again so it was another night @



for a chili cheese dog and banana milkshake, mmmmmmm!!!!

Had a great day today. Went to the Roadhouse car show in Philly. It was soooo hot so the show wasn't huge at all but it was fun none the less. Got to spend time with friends and just get out of those house and have a fun Saturday which when working retail is a rarity!
I did however get some sun burn...but I needed a little color lol. Now I'm kicking back with the hubby and about to watch The Crazies ater enjoying a delicious chocolate milkshake from Checkers! Yum!
