I have been known to occasionally be a dreamer. For someone that is such a realist it is nice to escape every once in a while. Usually I take my escape in a good book. Other times I like to plan vacations for the future. Brian will tell you my dreams are very vivid. I've been this way for a long time. I named my precious horses Fantasy, Sonjo (Italian for dream) and Majestic....see what I mean?
Yet the majority of the time I am way too realistic for my own good. Today I am dreaming of decorating this house to reflect me and my personality. I wish that I had the money to fill it with cool, funky, vintage pieces and some nice Pottery Barn accessories to boot; but let's face it-it's not gonna happen! Instead it's turning into a really bad version of my mom's house in Idaho (via all of her leftover furniture); it just doesn't look half as good. No offense mom, I like your house AND your style. Here it just needs some tweaking. Now those who know my mom realize that I was raised in an environment where there is COLOR. Every room had a different color-that's the way it should be. I like the "neutral" tone on our walls but our ENTIRE house (except Cristine's room) is painted the same color. I have heard that if you don't make the changes you want to within 4 months of moving, it won't happen. I am thinking about painting the master bedroom robin egg blue with red bed linens. I'm wondering if Cole's room is too small to take on a bold chocolate. The guest bath needs to be green. Plus, the customary red wall MUST happen...perhaps the one by the stairs?? What are you dreaming about?
Today I am thankful for:
1. Friends-old and new
2. Baby Einstein for getting 20 minutes of Cole's attention
3. Access to Cristine's closet-loving the houndstooth jacket I borrowed.

I would like to stand and bare my testimony that I know it these things to be true: IF YOU Don't do it now...you won't. You'll paint blue ugliness tester spots all over your kitchen walls and hate it and then you've lost your visions! So go w/ it! You go girl!
i am dreaming about NOT painting anything else, NOT hanging anything else on the walls and NOT having to decide whether one more thing needs to stay , be moved to another location or just be chucked!!!!
Such violent emotions!! Maybe I need therapy???
perhaps you do need therapy....I know someone :)
