my adpi apartment

honeychile · #1 03-31-2007, 12:18 AM

I have most of my ADPi items in my media room - a framed Creed, awards, afghan, lions on my monitor, ADPi books & other lions on the shelves. There's a tiny pot of violets in my breakfront, and a large, old fashioned saltbox full of violets in my kitchen (my kitchen is all botanical prints). I used to have my paddle hanging up, but too many people made the typical "ha-ha, I know y'all paddled each other!" remarks.

I also have a few of violet china pieces that I only bring out when I have sisters over, or am taking something to the chapter. I don't leave it out, though. I love the idea of a violet bathroom - mine's blues, with blue star guest soaps.

Speaking of soaps, has anyone else bought the ADPi soaps by a certain seller on ebay? She is a licensed vendor and makes really awesome soaps in all our symbols! I've done a lot of business with her - those things make great gifts for eboard, advisors, alumnae... anyone!

Since I don't have my own "place" yet, my ADPi stuff is pretty restricted to my bedroom - lions, violets, etc.

I do, however, have things to remind me of ADPi up in my "office" at school - I have an ENTIRE portable classroom as my office for my internship at one of my schools (gotta love construction!), so I have a bunch of pictures up that have ADPi meanings - sisters, pictures from VLS last summer, lions, even a violet "plaque" that my mom had picked up in a resale shop that was hanging out in my room until I figured out where to put it.

Even if I don't specifically mention being Greek to my kids, I can subliminally get the message across

From Louisiana? Yes, I have! I've given several of the stars as gifts to ADPis - they smell so good and are so pretty!! And yes, she will give a discount if you buy a certain amount!

since we talking adpi stuff, does anyone have suggestions on getting my certificate framed and/or mounted?

I've seen a really pretty one on ebay w/ the crest and all that, but I believe that oversize frame was horizontal.. and i think our membership certificate is vertical? It's been awhile, it is packed up with all my other adpi stuff.

A tiffany blue and white room will be elegant and classy! I really want to do that with my next place.

Most of my ADPi items are packed away at the moment, but I have a few violet items on display-- picture frames, a plate from Houston Convention. Go with some pretty and subtle touches-- go crazy with kitchen magnets though-- you can never have too many magnets on the fridge! Don't forget picture frames with photos of sisters!

And of course, if you have an office, that is a great place to display your favorite alphie, an ADPi cup to hold pens, your membership certificate, maybe a framed copy of the creed.

Also, you could make a quilt of your t-shirts and use it as a throw for your sofa. I've been meaning to do this for years.

One of my chapter sisters had a quilt made of her high school tshirts (homecoming, sports, etc.). It looks awesome.

I did a blue and white theme for my guestroom. Its blue walls and white bedspread, furniture and towels. I get a lot of compliments for it.

I too want to do a quilt of tshirts but considering most of my tshirts are adpi ones I've been retiring them as they begin to fall apart so it might be awhile before I actually make it. If I retired them all at one I think I'd need a new tshirt wardrobe.

The chapter president when i was at GU had hers done at Hobby Lobby once she got her jewel degree certificate. It is gorgeous. I would sugget looking at something like that.
