8 Things I Never Thought I’d Do ‘Til I Was Quarantined
1. Paint Mother Mary
Mary’s home is in an alcove at the top of the 2nd floor of my 3 story walk up. She was dreary and dirty, probably untouched for years. She even had a plug that was tucked into the wall and a lightbulb that, when touched, crumbled.
I really love her. Every time I climb the steps and arrive at the top of that 2nd floor, she was a reminder that I was almost home. That last flight is a very steep Brooklyn-doozy, so I always appreciated Mary’s inspiration.
With so much time on our hands, my roommate and I decided to give her a makeover. It started with unhooking her from the alcove, bathing her in the kitchen sink and then painting her together. My favorite parts are her pink lips and the ring on her right index finger (ring not pictured!).

There was a lot of cursing, sweating and moaning involved in this one. Yes, it was a mini-porn show.
I moved to this apartment 2 weeks before quarantine and I was soooo excited to hang plant holders on my walls. It was a sign of settling in and I was excited to showcase my beloved plants.
Turns out, hanging plant holders is haaaaaaaaaaard! To be honst, I hit many…
