This weekend's project: the hallway.

You may be thinking "wow that's already done, looks great!" but tomorrow's update will have a twist

I was procrastinating (shocking, right?) but finally got it put back together for now. I *love* the wallpaper SO MUCH, it's so fun and cheerful

Wallpaper samples finally arrived and found the obvious winner for the downstairs bathroom

Oh no they're multiplying

(Yes I'm dealing with my dread and anxiety at the state of the world in part by assembling tiny dioramas, in case you're wondering)

Just in case you need it, here is Tähti presiding over her throne of pillows

It's this one. Available at Michael's stores, not sure if it's exclusive or anything

I got one of those little book nook diorama kits, and I regret to share that they are indeed as deeply satisfying as expected

Not everyone is on board with the weather:

Still slowly getting the last of the wallpaper glue off, but finally found my big wrench to replace the showerhead

God that looks good?? (Ignore the pile of stuff I need to put away still lol)

The living room is pretty much done (other than the fact my coffee table randomly collapsed and so that'll need fixed?) and boy is it spiffy AF

Okay that orange needs SO MANY COATS WTAF but it looks so amazing!

Have to work around the mess (product of last night's panicked cleaning of the garage so I could park in it) but here's the before pics of the dining room
January 3, 2026 at 7:48 PM
Starting to work my way towards the dining room, and that means orange accents
January 3, 2026 at 7:46 PM
Everything is awful so idk, here's my progress on the living room
January 3, 2026 at 6:57 PM
God I wish I could be this blissfully unaware and unconcerned for like 1 hour
January 3, 2026 at 6:04 PM
Okay time to let that dry for a bit before coat 2
January 2, 2026 at 11:13 PM
