I have been so overwhelmed with all that life has thrown into my lap. I finally....yes finally finished the kitchen cabinets. I must say, it really has a refreshed and clean and new look and feeling to it. I can't help but take a step back and pause when I walk into the kitchen in the morning for my cup of coffee.
My mind is quickly set on all the next things I have to do. It really is unending. The next step of the kitchen process will be to take down the wallpaper, paint the walls, trim and door. Putting in new flooring hopefully next month and then of course the little things like making curtains and painting the bar stools to keep with the the decor. Of course then I am on a mission to find all the little decor items. I am on the hunt for cool looking plates to display on the wall. I have gone to a few different antique/ flea markets, just have not been able to find the ones that really get my attention. I have great plans in my head for these plates, just a matter of starting and going for it. I am realizing that I have a really difficult time making final decisions. I really do break out in a sweat and then heaven forbid if I actually do buy something, then I spend the rest of the night with buyers remorse. Lord I need help with the little things in life. I have so much to do with this house. I see that it is not a matter of I have to get it done because the house is selling soon to I have to because the house isn't livable, it is a matter of me trying my hardest to make this house MY home. I am still struggling some days to make sure that my decisions for paint colors and things, are the the decisions and thoughts of my parents. What would my Dad say???? What is Mom going to think of it???? Now, I have to say what do I want and what do I like and be satisfied with that.
I have taken some time to see family that have come in from out of town. In the middle of all the craziness that is my everyday life, there has been some laughter as well.
My life has always and most likely will always be like a roller coaster. Up and Down and All around!
