S-L-O-O-O-W-W Moving...

Wow! I am shocked at how slow I am doing things these days. Not because I turned 39. It's just that I have become a serial procrastinator. The amount of work that needs to be put into my "To-Do" list is just ........there's no word for it.


(What?! I love her! She looks really happy!)

I also HATE everything in my house and my yard. I need something new and exciting to look forward to. SO , my plan is this; whine, complain, beg my husband to let me "redo" a few things in my house. Nothing major. Just maybe a new sofa for my den since our cats have shredded the legs on the red one so bad that they are beyond disgusting. And, maybe, if I quit cooking, he'll let me remove my wallpaper in my breakfast room and kitchen and let me paint it. Also, I've decided that the foofy shades in my dining room/living room are just not me anymore so I think they will be bidding "Adieu", as well. I think I am going to go with (brace yourselves!) with an all white/cream/khaki/browns scheme that I can add color to with dishes, flowers, pillows, etc.


(In case I haven't mentioned this blog, it is awesome! Go take a look at her chicken house.)

I am a HUGE collector of stuff. Dishes - love'em. Linens - love'em. Weirdities - uh, LOOOVVE'em! Right now I have a triangular glass "thing" that is filled with dried hydrangea blooms and the bird nest that I found in my Christmas tree. And can I just tell you that every time I pass by it, I smile! It is just my favorite little something right now. That kind of stuff.


So, let's review, shall we? #1 I am old. I am slow. Working on doing better............
#2 Need something new. New sofa, new walls, new window treatments. I have already started this process. Started the subtle nagging this week.
#3. I like weird stuff. Admit it. You do, too. You were just waiting for somebody to admit it first!

  1. Do it!! Take the nagging up a notch this weekend. Paint is cheap though, you ain't gotta get permission for that one! And I totally agree with the neutral scheme. We are painting everything right now and I figure I can change out accessories when I want something different! Can't wait to see all these changes in a few weeks ;)
