Little bit of everything

I got a really cool catalogue today. It is from www.vandykes.com and I found the kitchen cabinet handles I really really want. But until I get the cabinets and new countertops in (which is a ways down the road) I won't know if it will look right. They are the pale green depression glass style. I love green depression glass and suddenly I realize that will be some of the stuff I use in decorating the house. I have always been drawn to it and now I can see it having a place in my new house. I have decided on the new colors in the kitchen will be pale yellow and light mossy green with the white floorboards and doortrim. I'm all excited. Poor kitchen is going from Coca-Cola to depression glass. I hope it can handle the transformation.



This town has the cutest little library. I checked out one of my favorite books, Comte de Monte Cristo. It was interesting to find out that the version I have always read is a censored water down version. This time I'm apparently reading the full blown version. It has been a while since I have read it so it will be interesting to see what differences I notice. Like I don't remember any lesbians in it.

I called my MIL about borrowing her treadmill. She is going to see if my SIL is actually using it and if she isn't I'll get it. I hope so because I really need to figure out a way to exercise some.

I'm a woman obsessed with decorating. If only I had the money to get it all done at one time.

I was looking at houses with someone today and I realized what a real deal I got on this house. She is hoping to pay between $85 to $100 a square foot. The little cute house next door is $65 a square foot. This house was $47 a square foot. And when we had the additional 500 square feet upstairs, it will be an even better deal. I do love a good bargain.

The only sad thing is that I'm betting that none of my BYB friends will ever see it, except in pictures. It is weird to realize that the people who I share so much of my life won't see where I live it. I'm too far off the beaten track for them, no one drifts into this area and a GTG in this house isn't possible because it isn't that big of a house. One or two might make a trip this way but realistically that is it. I know the house isn't what many people would want. I see this from people at work, many of them like the new house approach. I can see the beauty in those houses but it isn't me or my family. I love that my kids will grow up knowing about skeleton keys and old fashion architecture and creaking floor boards. But mostly they will grow up knowing the peace of a house that has been through many episodes of life.

And final thought of the night, when did Hugh Laurie get so sexy?
