If you haven't noticed by now, I have been having a difficult time saying goodbye to my blog. I keep saying that you won't hear from me until I get back from the Philippines, and then, BAM, here I am again, creating another extremely exciting and riviting post for all of you to read. It is like a magnet, drawing me back to it every chance it can get! Anyways, no promises of last goodbyes this time, just checking in to say hi and that I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE!!!!! What I really look forward to is getting home and making it look like "the Schlesinger's home".
I LOVE to paint, not like artistically...that I cannot do at all, but paint the walls, bring color to an offwhite world! I have been laying in bed at night and that is all I think about. How about browns, no reds, no blues, and on and on the color schemes go. And now that we have cable, I feel it necessary to watch HGTV so that I can be sure that the colors I choose and the look I am going for will not look horrible when all said and done. The problem I have with HGTV is that with every show comes a whole new idea for me, a new look, and now my mind is just filled with so many "styles" that I can't decide. Do I sound incredibly shallow or what?! But, to me, the look of my home is important. It creates an atmosphere (to an extent), as well as gives friends and guests an impression of what we are about. Are we bold and exciting, are we safe and boring, are we weird, are we simplistic, are we scatterbrained, are we messy and disorganized. Your home, or atleast my home, I feel, gives people an instant insight into who I am and what kind of woman I am. Any women out there feel the same way??? Anyways, all that to say, when I do finally get home and do finally decide on some colors, I will be sure to get pictures for you all to see.
So, ta ta for now.
