More With Chalk Paint!

So, if you read my other post about chalk paint you already know how much I love the stuff! If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you go give it a quick look-see! Anyway, my last post was about the awesome picture frames I made. After I made them as decoration for my room, I realized I wanted more things with the same kind of design! So, I decided to paint some shelves to try and match my frames! Here's what I got out of it!

These were so fun and so easy to make! The paint really makes a huge difference! They were originally green with purple splatter so I decided to try and cover that up with the lighter gray, like I had previously done with my frames! 

After I did the first layer of light gray, I dry brushed the dark gray on top of the lighter. (the way you do dry brush is pretty much explained in the name! Take a dry brush, put a little bit of paint on it and rub it on). It's so simple but you still end up with an amazing product that looks brand new! 

The paint is supposed to make them look a little worn, some people don't really like the look, but personally, I'm obsessed! Hopefully I'll put them up soon and be able to share them with everyone! In the mean time feel free to share any fun DIY tips! 

My "Guilty Pleasure"

Everyone has a "guilty pleasure"! Something that makes them so elated that nobody could ever understand. My guilty pleasure? Live concerts! I'm absolutely addicted, it's almost pathetic. I actually have three concerts coming up (American Authors, Gavin DeGraw and Maroon 5) and I constantly find myself looking for more! After these three concerts I will be at a grand total of 19 concerts! Insane. It's impossible to pick my favorite because I had loved all of them!

I think the reason I love them so much is because I find it inspiring how so many different people can come together for one night because of their love for a certain group or band and just scream until their lungs give out. It honestly blows my mind! One of my favorite things to do before a concert is take a picture of me and the people I'm there with so I can always remember the day! Here are some of the many pictures I have taken.

Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson at Jones Beach with Keara

Fall Out Boy at Barclay's Center with Emily

The Fray and Oh Honey at Pier 97 with ToniAnn

Bruno Mars at Madison Square Garden with Steve, Keara, Emily, Mom and Dad

Justin Timberlake at Madison Square Garden with Emily 

(She loves concerts almost as much as me!!)

 I plan on making a scrap book with those pictures, the set list and one of the tickets, keep up with my blog and I'll try and post about it in the future! This is a great idea for any type of event you enjoy attending; whether it be athletic games, movies, or concerts, like me! It's a fun activity to do and a great way to reminisce on the fun times you've had with the ones you love!

Have a fun "guilty pleasure" or been to an amazing concert? Feel free to share in the comments, I look forward to hearing about your experiences!
