I’m blagging (which I guess means lagging on my blog) recently. Home repairs are few and far between, no thrift store shopping has been happening, and overall I’m at a stalemate with the exterior colors of the house – or better yet – anything that involves an actual decision about the house. My inspiration is waning…as well as my bank account.
I’m not sure why, but I feel a little bored by the Brick House (and its only been 6 months) and I want a new (old) house with loads of charm and fantastic details – like a beautiful Victorian, Craftsman, or an old Brownstone. Sadly, here in California my little mid century house is pretty much what I can afford – and even this boring little place needs a lot more elbow grease.
So I’ve been cheating on the Brick House and stalking Door Sixteen and ooohhhing and aaahhhing over all the charm and details in her house. I love love love the neutrals and black and white palette shes got going, and feel the need to class up my abode a bit with a more edited and streamlined color scheme.
All I know is that I NEED one of these hanging rattan chair things on my front porch. Like RIGHT now.

Oh, and shelves. Lots of shelves…

Hang tough homie! You are an inspiration to all us low-buck DIYers. Sure you can tune in to HGTV and see some moran blow through 50K and get everything he/she wants but where’s the challenge in that?
It’s us working stiffs with realistic credit limits, unrealistic balances and the whole mortgage-food-gas thing working against you that really need the airtime. You provide it for us.
When you get bored, take a break from it; distance will make the heart grow fonder and before you know it, you’ll be back in love. Trust me.
