I'm Ready For a Change

Do you know what happens when you start a project and it never ends?  Well, I do! 

By the time you get even close to getting where you want to be, you realize you're kinda over it.

But every time  I think of changing it, I look up at the crown molding.  Never, ever has painting been something I longed to do and believe me I've done more than my share.  I just have this problem.  I like change.  But back to those moldings.  That's a lot of taping and painting.   

I'm really wanting to go to lighter, brighter colors, cooler, more coastal colors.  Something in a pale gray with white trim.  But it can't be as simple as all that for me.  I'd have to paint the walls, and the trim and the ceiling.  We painted the ceiling in a lighter coordinating shade to the wall colors.  It's really beautiful and when we first chose it, it was perfect for that warm Tuscany look that I longed for.  But these are warm colors which are perfect for a cozy winter palate but like I said there's no way to just change the walls without painting the trim too.  Oh' and that's not to mention the wide layered floor trim moldings.

And take a look at the color of my sofas, well okay you can't get see the true colors.  They're prettier and a little darker olive green with golds and plums in the pillows.  They're too new to get rid of, as if that as even an option.  Not really wanting slip covers either.  I do like slip covers, I'm just not wanting them.  Plus the rug has a pale green/gold olive with white.  That would be another change.  When I bought this I kept saying I wanted to go neutral, so that I could change pillows and things when the seasons changed and have I could have a new look.  So what happened there?  Where did that plan go? 

So what about y'all?  Are you making any changes for the new season?  Do you have any money saving tips or idea's?  How would you handle a burning desire for change on an almost nil budget?  Let me know, I'm really wanting to hear what y'all think.  

By the way are you reading this FrogTape, Valspar paint, and Lowes or Home Depot?  I'd love to review your products!

I've Been Contacted! No Not By Aliens.....

I'm not the first mind you.  Others have been contacted before me.  All of a sudden it was just there.  Bar furniture,  toys, clothes, furniture.  They have it all. I looked and rubbed my eyes and looked again!   Who was it you ask?


Well as you know I recently won  a giveaway which was sponsored by CSN stores and went over there to check them out.  No kidding they have everything imaginable.  CSN stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from  Bar furniture
where you can find wonderful stools for your kitchen counter to sewing machines.  As well as toys to home decor, cookware to shoes and clothes, and tons more! If you haven't checked CSN out you will want to and believe me you will be there awhile.  There is so much to see.


Now back to who contacted me.  If you haven't already figured it out, it was CSN stores!  Yeah!!!  I'm so excited!  They have given me the opportunity to do a product review for them.  Be sure to come back and see which fab product I will be reviewing.  I can hardly wait!
