Daydreaming, daydreaming
Spring is really starting to take off here, and now that it's only 30 days till we have our new house, I'm really good for nothing. I'm daydreaming all day about paint colors, new furniture, refinishing hardwood floors, you name it. I think my mom said it best "I never should have given you that paint swatch book." I've been carrying it around with me like a baby's teddy bear.
At night I have dreams like this: last night I was at an estate sale outside the Columbia mall (between sears and MC sports) and there were fabulous furniture pieces all around! But I left my cell at home, and needed to call my dad to come with his big truck. When he got there, most things were sold, the one desk I thought I had held onto was suddenly built for a child, not an adult, and the person whose cell phone I stole was looking for me. Hmm.
One thing at a time. We'll have our hands full with the projects that need to get done before we can move in--painting, refinishing the hardwoods, and staining the concrete in my (209 square foot!!) studio. Then we'll move on to furniture. In the meantime, I'm going to be showing you some photoshopped versions of rooms and asking for opinions. Disclaimer: Jason will probably have final say.
Let the fun begin!

Sounds about like my goofy wedding dreams I've been having! :)
I'm just gonna say what people say to me about the wedding - enjoy the phase! Good luck.
WOW those are my pre-waling into The GO wakeing dreams! After letting that couch slip from my hands. Yes, I know I found another on Ebay, but still...
I have got to spend a little time with your family, I breifly met your mom at an Artisan show, but seriously, they sound like a hoot!
I just knew I'd get to make all those home-y decisions when I got married 10 years ago (to a fellow graphic designer)... what a pipe dream. We took months to decide on paint color. All decisions are a joint effort. Sigh. :)
