That's how I feel right now..there are so many things in life I have no control over, but decorating is NOT one of them and is where I am funneling my energy right now.
I have never lived in one place very long in my life, I went to 4 different elementary schools and a few junior high schools. We were always moving to a new house, I don't think we ever lived in a house longer than 5 years, if that :)
Once I was out on my own over the last 12 years (wow that's a long time) I have lived in 2 apartments and three houses. My first house I bought I was in maybe 2 years and my 2nd I was in for just over a year...anyways the point of this is I have been in my current house for 5 years and I am getting the itch to move and have everything new, the design phase of picking everything out and having that new feeling is my favorite...BUT sadly that cannot happen we are so upside down and with Ryan's schooling and everything else we have going on up in the air right now there is no reason to move. PLUS I love my house and I really don't want to move, we are happy where we are! But I can't help myself I have been in the mood to pretty much change anything I can get my hands on. Most of the women readers will understand what I mean, you get sick of your stuff and want different stuff! Once again....Poor Ryan for having to put up with my craziness.
I have a list a mile long of things I want to change to make the house feel new again! Minus any major painting and changing colors (that I will not do again until we move I HATE painting large spaces)
Ryan has come home the last few weeks to me changing the placement of things all over..
I started with the kitchen, I am over my table and my bar stools so I found these ones at Z' Gallerie for a pretty good price (cheapest place I could find them Target was even more expensive)
They are set to arrive in the next few weeks so excited!!
If I like them since I can't afford a new table right now I might get a few new chairs to mix in and give it a updated look.
Next, I'm moving onto the laundry room that is driving me crazy. I plan to do a make over over the next few weeks, I'll post a before and after once I am done. Adding a few organizers and a can of paint is going to work wonders :) My goal here is a cheap re-organization that will bring my sanity back.
Then I am going to move on to my entryway, I have a table I want to change out
and have been stalking this blog daily to see about purchasing something or getting something made when we go up to Salt Lake next month (shhhh Ryan doesn't know about this yet)
This console she made is perfect for what I am looking for, except I want it in cream and she sold it for $160 that's awesome!
Our bedroom will come after the entryway, but that is a bigger project and a ways away. We are saving up to change up to a king size bed once we get that our old bedroom furniture needs to go! I plan to keep the dresser that holds our TV but I am on the hunt for new side tables a little more manly than the ones I currently have and with more storage.
see don't those scream female room :)
I do not want a foot board I want something like this...
And I am liking a side table like this...
So that's what I have been doing lately, I have pretty much been a homebody the last few weekends doing projects around the house, baking alot and cleaning. I have to take this Friday off and need to just be kind of chill all day, so I have a list in my head of things around the house to do, mainly putting up my Christmas tree..
Yes already...
It's not too soon...because I say so :)
Don't judge me I love Christmas :)
