As you guys know, I love finding creative ways to update my things… and well, I obviously love my Duct Tape! I recently bought a zebra print bed set and pillows and decided that my room definitely looked “off” with nothing else matching. I wanted to have other things that are zebra print to bring my room all together. I don’t have the funds, nor do I want to spend money on buying brand new furniture just to match my new bed set and let’s be honest, I could come up with a new idea and want to completely change my room again, next week!

A lot of my furniture is old and used. I surely don’t have a flat screen plasma tv to say the least, so the thought of taping my stuff with Duct tape wasn’t that big of a concern. I swear, all my furniture is from the 60′s and in dieing need of some revamping anyway! However, if you are a student, stuck in a tiny dorm and were lucky enough to have your parents buy you all brand new stuff from Ikea, you should probably rethink the duct taping idea and skip to another post of mine. Your parents might kill you if you Duct tape all the new stuff they just got for you – or they might even kill me for that matter for giving you this idea! Although…. my ideas are pretty awesome though! Maybe I should teach some online college courses about my fabulously creative ways. I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything – just being honest. ;) For now, my blog courses for you will do justice!

Okay, off topic again – surprise, surprise! What I did was the simplest of crafts and furniture upholstery possible! I went and got my Zebra print Duct tape and starting taping my book cases, end tables, computer desk and even my tv! I made sure not to go over board, because I want my room to be chic with a hint of the exotic jungle. I didn’t want it to be tacky and living in the jungle. Trust me, there’s a big difference! Be sure to leave some things the way they were. Some things are just meant not to be touched!

Hey! At least my doggie loves my new bed sheets.

All in sync now…. ‘awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww’
