That is what I keep hearing over and over in my head...and now from Kendra too! I haven't felt like I have much to blog about but she says I have lots so we will see where this rambling takes us!
So I guess I will write about the big exciting move I made last month...and no it was not away from my orphan dream...I moved from my small square of a house to a larger one!!! No more nosey landlords peering in my windows! No more green indoor/outdoor carpeting! No more...well the list could really go on and on!
The down side to my new home is that the previous tenant (who also happens to be my landlord) had HORRIBLE taste in color and decor! My bedroom is seriously 3 different shades of 1980's BHS purple!!!! The trim is lavender, the walls purple, and lucky me there is even a purple sponge painted wall!!! I'm seriously thinking all it needs is a bulldog mural (Sonja when are you coming over to paint it??) My living room/dining room is a lovely shade of mauve (I don't think they still produce that color do they???) and my bathroom is light purple with purple roses stenciled on every inch of the very very tiny little room! She even managed to stencil three between two medicine cabinets! So on to my next big adventure which will be painting! I think it's a good fall project to keep me out of trouble! I have all the colors picked out so maybe at some point you will get some before and after pics!
The best part of my new home is the critters that she left me! Not live ones that I know of thank goodness, but instead a pack of plastic wolves on a shelf on the way to my basement. I will have to post a picture as soon as I get one because it's unbelievable that someone would have these as decor! They are all perfectly arranged on Spanish moss as you are going down the steps...the best part is the shadows that they cast when you turn the light on! I really don't think I will take them down though because they make me laugh and you can't actually see them unless the basement door is open!
I'm sure you all can't wait to come over and visit now!
