cozy and okay

This house is slowly coming along... I haven't really documented it like the last house.

I kinda bought the house, moved my stuff in, unpacked it, and went about my job and my life.

A lot of stuff has sat where I unpacked it, months ago. Some things I have plans for, some I haven't figured out yet. I'm just kinda going with it.

After what seems like a long time, I'm starting to do some of the things I want to do to make this space feel like mine.

I finished painting the formal dining room (aka craft/ game room) and every time I walk by I think, "Oh, it's so pretty!" It was a perfectly fine shade of olive green but it was way too dark for the room. You know I like my rooms to feel light and airy.

The living room looks majorly better after replacing the strange window treatments with pretty (on clearance!) curtains. Still haven't figured out the ideal tv/couch arrangement, but Christmas is coming so I'll figure out a place for the tree and then figure it out next year.


The bedroom really is peaceful. The headboard is exactly what I wanted, and the sun shines through those curtains every morning and it's so dang pretty out there.


...just don't get me started on the pond maintenance that's costing me an arm and a leg.
