Need a laugh??  Watch this.



This is better than Publishers Clearing House for me, PEOPLE!!!

Mandi from Vintage Revivals (who it's no secret that I adore) is doing another EPIC ROOM MAKEOVER GIVEAWAY!!   I HAVE to enter.  


I'm pretty much dying over her sponsors, who are providing ever dime to fund this baby!  Decorating on someone else's dime is totally the way to go.

So, here's my room, in all it's bland glory.  I liked it okay for a long time... like 5 years long.  It's seriously time for a change. It needs to ooze with our style. 

We have two choices here.  I'd love this room to have a major facelift.



It has a serious case of the Beige Blahs!!

OR 


We could do this room which I'd REEEEALLY like to have done.  

It needed some Mandiliciousness like, yesterday.

It's the first room in my house.  I teach violin in here and every. stinkin. week I wish it was done.  

I have zero photography skills, and the lighting stinks, so don't judge!!



This couch is in perfect condition, it just needs a makeover of it's own.

Notice.  No light fixture.  Why did they build homes like this???
The side table is actually awesome, you can't see it well.  

You could do SO much in here!!!

Horrible picture!  Blame it on the lack of lighting :)
This window is so big and begging for a new outfit!



How do you decorate around this baby?  I know you can come up with something awesome!!



HUGE reasons to pick me!!!.............

*The biggest plus about this room is that it's HUGE!!

*It has perfect bones to be anything.

*I have a huge covered patio that is perfect for all painting projects. Out of the sun.

**Brooke is here! You, Hailey & Brooke...we'd have superhero decorating power X a gazillion!! I'm sure Summer will be in too!  She lives down the street.  My husband is a total handyman and will be here too!! See, I have this baby staffed already.  Done.

*I'm not too shabby with a can of Krylon myself.  I'm crazy about the stuff!

*I'm quite handy with a sewing machine and my serger will come in darn handy too, I'm sure.

*Plus, we have the BEST HOMEGOODS ever!!!

****Oh ya, one more GIANT point...I'M A HUGE, DEDICATED FAN!!!

Mandi, need I remind you about this??  You love me :)




















Which reminds me, my silhouette is dying to meet you too!

Oh yes, don't forget Halloween.  There's NOTHING like having CRaZY fans show up at your door with freaking awesome costumes.
(Thanks Brooke from All Things Thrifty for the pics)

I'm guessing that you might need a nurse handy during your epic room makeover, not that anyone will need CPR, but just in case, I'm really good at it! Ok, really I would just love to see the "process" and I always carry bandaids...Good luck and you definitely have my vote!
