About 2 months after Casey and I were married I got THE bug. That's right, the baby bug. However, in my mind, I knew we weren't ready, but the bug was still there. Alas, as Tina Fey said on 30 Rock, "My mind controls my body. My body does not control my mind!" so we got a dog. :) Since then I've hit a nesting bug (no more baby!) That resulted in my "nesting" list I have written down by our mail basket. It's so much fun to slowly cross things off the list as we're able to do them. Our apartment is starting to look like a family home rather then two folks crashing in the same digs.
I'm in love with thenest.com and home saving decor magazines- great ideas, some of them actually doable and cheap(er)! I'm willing to put elbow grease into just about anything now, because then I'll have a story and a memory and something one-of-a-kind.
So here's my ever-growing list. :)
1. Paint- dark brown for furniture CHECK!
2. Spray paint- blue, sage, and/or khaki for old picture frames CHECK!
3. Curtains and rods- the good, energy saving kind.
4. A stool- for a bathroom vanity.
5. A real wood desk
6. A real wood bookshelf and cloth baskets for organizing
7. Fake flowers and a planter
8. Throw pillows- Brown, khaki, and blue
9. A new washer- ours is dying :(
10. A real dresser CHECK!
11. A headboard CHECK!
12. Print pictures- wedding and family for frames CHECK!
13. Calla Lily center piece
I love my life. :)
