here goes nothing ...

as my first post i am at a loss as to what to blog about ... especially since i have this feeling that no one is reading this.  haha! 
my boyfriend, matt, just bought his first house!  it is precious, a perfect starter home, on my dream street, sooo it is now my little project.  it might have driven me to this blog ... i swear i cannot sleep without thinking about that house.  matt says im obsessed  ... annndd i might be. maybe.  but really, i went to school for this!  it is time to shine, but oh does some grind come with all that.  we started working on the house tuesday.  today is only friday and so far i have gotten high off of ammonia, debris in the eyeball so i am wearing my nerdy glasses today, i've really gotten to know the paint lady at lowe's, and last night i managed to get white freckles from painting the ceiling. needless to say i am tired.  and i wish i were this fabulous designer with assistants to do all the crappy work.  i'm ready for the fun stuff dangit! here are a few of my favorites i've picked out for the house ...

living room ...

dining room ...

love these plates for the kitchen ...

there is a screened in patio to the side of the house that adds so much character to the house ... i look forward to spending time out there and love these things to furnish it ...

i really really am excited. i am.  but all of this prep work is tough and i don't like it. it will pay off in the end i guess.  i will post progress pictures soon ...
