It makes me want to . . .

Okay kids! I was studying like crazy for a test tomorrow . . . needed a break and got hooked on watching a certain amazing interior decorating show . . . and then my brain started thinking faster (in this case yes this did happen) and I began imagining projects to do one day!

I get a little "to Wanda" in me sometimes and want to pull everything off my walls and rearrange everything, this usually happens when Toph is watching the game, or at midnight and I just get in the mood for a change . . . I am afraid that this may one day escalate when we own a home and Toph will come home to find me hacking tile off of our fireplace: to re tile/stone it, tearing up carpet: for tile or hardwood, moving furniture: to paint, or who knows what else!

Whenever I see all of the new styles and colors of tile, especially the little cubes that are all taped together waiting to become a kitchen back splash or surround a fireplace I especially want to do something! Some of the designs are kind of "edgy" . . . and it makes me want a black (or brown) and white cowhide looking chair, or to gather multi colored bottles, vases and jars and create an amazing shelf display . . . one day . . . until then I am content scouting out more pillows, having a red (yes I said red . . . oh yes edgy indeed) end table in my living room, and simply dreaming of the day when I put up multicolored metallic looking glass tiles as a kitchen back splash. (of course by then I am sure that a whole new image while spring up in my mind . . .) Until then I am sure that my husband will grimace a bit at the visions that I share and smile while hoping that my sanity returns soon! Just think Toph . . . we'll be like Sean Thornton and Mary Kate Danaher . . . only instead of planting roses we will be laying tile! What a dream!

I too have a weakness for HGTV and DIY. I would love to lay tile and create something awesome. Hopefully someday.

You're so funny. That is fun though.
