We spent some time looking at houses this weekend and I fell in love with yet another home! And, SHOCKER, Neil did not. GOOOOOD GRIEFFFFF!?! So, what's the plan stan? Heck if I know. Our lease is up March 30. However, we have the option to go month to month. Which, in my eyes, is just a way to delay the inevitable. We are going to have to compromise. NOT SETTLE...Compromise! Neil and I both have wants in our forever home. My biggest want is a home with character and space. I have found FIVE of those. Neil's biggest want is acerage. Well, of those FIVE, they all had a minimum of 3 acres. However, it's not FLAT acerage. AHHHH.....well, you see, I didn't know that was part of the deal. So, as I have looked more at flat land, I have realized, we are going to either have to compromise on price, or the size of the home. So, you guessed it, Neil and I are dead-locked. I don't want my forever home to be a brick box with no potential. Or one that we can "one day" add on to. Because, "one day" may be 10 years from now. Ok. I'm done venting. Moving on to a little day-dreamin'.
I haven't spent much time thinking about Hudson's room because he is still in a baby bed and I will have to change up his room decor once he moves into a big-boy bed. Well, all it took was one look at
Restoration Hardware's new Baby & Child magazine to get the wheels turning. WOW! Check out this room.
The only problem is, Hudson's room has some red in it that comes from his Dresser that I re-did as a Changing table. I LOVE it and I LOVE red. So, I'm gonna have to tie some red in somehow. So, Here's what I'm thinking. I will have to knock-off many of the things I love about the room. I mean, who can spend $300 on a light for there kids room. UMM, not I! But, one thing I can't knock off are those adorable sheets!
And, I'm thinking I will just get a navy coverlet to go with it. (I'm not a big fan of denim) But, that's just me. Then, I will use this dust ruffle I found at the...wait for IT.......Thrift store ;-) for $1.98.
This will bring it the RED . Then, we can keep the beloved dresser
and, the big "H" his Uncle Jo Jo made for him.
What do you think? Who am I kidding. I only have like 3 followers. haha! But, I would still like your thoughts.
That's one more room planned out for my future home. Continue to pray for my patience and for Neil to get a little urgency.
Have a great day-
Kelli
