I wish I was blogging about our vacation right now (you know, the cruise, the day at Disneyland, the time spent with some awesome friends), but the charger thing for my camera has mysteriously disappeared meaning I can't upload pictures. And, be honest, you don't want to hear about my vacation (it was awesome) as much as you want to see pictures from it.
We both came home feeling much more relaxed and rejuvenated. I found new energy to tackle life's hurdles head on (as opposed to side on? backwards? crawling under them? I don't know...) which is awesome. And, I think I even found some motivation to finish some of my incomplete projects (all which were started with the best intentions, but then somehow were never finished). So I'd call that a win.
And now for the reason for my post!
We have a two bedroom apartment. The second bedroom has kinda been my space. My sewing machine, computer and (our) piano all live in that room. I decorated it to be a place of peace and escape for me (at D's permission and encouragement, of course). Well, the room wasn't really serving its (where does the apostrophe go in that word?) purpose. While we were in Disneyland, we went to the Disney Store in Downtown Disney. We found some great treasures. I first said the L word to D while we were watching the movie Cars and D found a really cool print of Lightening McQueen. He also found a statue thing of Mickey Mouse shaking a fire fighter's hand. We left with both in tow but with no where for them to live at our house. Which got me thinking. And those thoughts turned into actions today!
The second bedroom is getting a face lift! Goodbye tan curtain, hello red curtain. Goodbye greens and browns, hello reds and blues! The of the Coca-Cola clock mixed with the firefighter statue is awesome. A print of the Chicago skyline is on its (again, apostrophe where?) way to join the room - D served his mission there. I love that the room is about us.
I think that our bedroom is going to get a facelift next... :)

Can't wait to see these! :)
ReplyDeleteps. No apostrophe in "its". You have it spelled right.
