I was told, "only boring people are ever bored"! WELL...I certainly did NOT want to be considered "boring" so...I found something to do instead.

My husband and I were removing vent covers to clean and paint, and low and behold...playboys and beer. The previous owners had a very advanced 11 year old boy. We told our neighbors, and he exclaimed, "that's where my playboy subscription went!!!" lol. the kid had been pilfering the neighbor's mail!

I feel the love people. and I ADORE the cats making the karate chops. Rusty my weenie dog is constantly RUINING my perfectly chopped down pillows!!! Silly weenie. (how many women have said that?!!!) I am not a designer, but do decorate high end houses at christmas time, and my clients love the fact that I proudly display their children's homemade ornaments along with 1000 dollar bows and baubles. Life is too short not to smile every time you walk in the front door.

lol...I also have a keep calm and carry on poster....framed in green, and a sectional...also in green velvet (down filled...mmmmmm) see....one person's trash is another person's treasure. After my divorce, when I moved from a HUGE mc mansion into a tiny brick rambler, I decided that all design decisions would be based upon the heart and the smile upon my face. if it makes me smile and makes my heart glad, it is IN.

I did it after seeing it here...and I love it. Makes me feel calm and happy every time I look at it. That said, my best friend says it makes me appear ocd. and I'm ok with that.
