W O W

i am BLOWN away by all the gifted people out there. i read blogs and get inspired by many things: photographs, fashion, their lovely homes...i can go on and on. so i go through this phase where i want to re-do SO many things, in particular ~ our home...but am restricted by budget. my problem is, i want to do everything all at once. if i had it my way i'd sit down with one of the many "gifted" people i am inspired by and give my vision and give a few essentials and let them wave their magic wand and have it be D O N E. here are some projects and inspirations i have for our home:

common sense is to set aside a budget and begin one project at at time. my husband is in total support of this...we both love our home and now it's time to make it feel like a home. this coming Christmas will make it our 2 year anniversary since we bought it and it still looks barren. the walls BARELY have anything on them because i'm afraid to commit. it's also hard because i'd love to change the paint color of all the walls and this is why i find myself very hesitant to purchase anything...{sigh} here i go again...feeling too overwhelmed to even start.

goal: by the end of 2011, i will have finished one {or two} projects.
