No, I'm not having a baby. But we ARE moving! We have found a house that we LOVE, but, nothing is official yet. No papers signed as of now. Once things are set in stone (hopefully in the next week or two) I will have an awesome story about how God, once again, provided in His perfect timing. So that's all I'm going to say about it for now. We know for sure that whatever happens with the house, we won't be staying where we are currently. And the amature interior decorator inside me is screaming with joy. I can barely contain it. When I'm presented with a situation to redecorate, especially a blank canvas of a house, my desire is to go mad. I could take a whole week and shop until I can't see straight. Then paint, DIY, and style until I can't move. I could seriously have a decorate till I drop party. I know I have a few friends who'd willingly join me. BUT. Our budget sits back and laughs at that idea with an arrogant "let me know how that goes" type laugh. So, this will be a slow, progressive, on an extreme budget type deal. But I'm excited. My goal is to use as much of what we already have and redo things. I have big plans for our living room end tables, our bedroom furniture, and the girls iron beds. And that's just the short list. Last week, one of the blogs I follow, View Along The Way, had a post that was perfectly timed about decorating. So, I've been gleaning from her wisdom and starting with a "lead" piece instead of with a paint color like I usually do. Our couches are relatively neutral so my plan was to find a fabric I could use as throw pillows, or maybe an accent piece like an ottoman, and then bounce the rest of the room off that. And so after a few minutes searching, I found a Waverly print that I LOVE!!! and it comes in a few tones. It's called Santa Maria. This is a picture of what our couch and loveseat look like. You get the idea of the color we're working with. Our furniture is new so we won't be replacing because it's still in great shape. This was the first sample I saw. It's obviously in a deeper jewel tone. It's called Santa Maria Gem. Next to it are the Sherwin-Williams paint chip suggestions. This is my safe zone. These colors are ones that I understand. I can easy put a room together based on these. I love the bold punch of red and blue, but it's fairly sedated. This was the second one I came across. THE GAME CHANGER! It's Santa Maria Desert Flower. I am head over heels for this print. And it's way over the top for me. Like, this will take some serious brain power on my part to put a room together around this. Especially a living room! But, I just love it so much I think I might do it. I'm thinking the Curio Gray color for the walls, maybe a little red or gold chevron, and some black and white Ikat thrown in. And I've been really wanting some teal furniture in my house somewhere, so we'll see. Sounds like a hot mess right now, but it looks awesome in my head! (if that's any comfort to those reading like my husband and my mom) Which do you like better? The more sedate jewel tones or the bold, bright one? Does the idea of a new house/room/space excite your inner decorator like it does me?
Happy Thursday!

OH EM GEE. I am DYING over your fabric choice. (Both are beautiful but the second one makes me just fall over and die out of love for it.) So many beautiful color options there. I love the little shot of black, and the pink and green together could be so preppy and happy. Okay, now I'm kinda itching to decorate til I drop with that fabric too.

Thanks. And I know! Isn't it a fantastic print? I can almost picture the whole room. I've had to put the brakes on a little because new fun decorating plans were consuming me and we don't even have a move date yet.

Hey Gina, I saw your comment about Dr. Onokun medication concerning Fibroid sometime ago and you were right, I tried it and it worked like magic for me. It was like hell living with FIBROID all this years until now, no more pains, bleeding and no miscarriage and I would've come with my testimony before now but I have to wait for a couple of months to see if it will regrow again but there's still no sign of fibroid, I also went to the hospital for test and still i was tested negative. All thanks to Dr. onokun and to you too Gina. And for anyone out there who wish to try can reach the doctor through Email: [email protected] or WhatsApp +2349064844957
