House Warming

Some people call it "nesting," but I like to call it "house warming." We even leave a category in our budget labled "house warming." I just like the way it sounds. Nice and cozy, like a home should feel. I think there is something to be said about loving the way your surroundings are set up, especially as an artist. It is amazing to me that I can just throw a little paint up or move some things around and it allows my creativity to flow more rapidly.

One of my treats to myself during my birthday week was to go get some decorating books on a style Brent and I are both excited about. Cabin-chic if you will. (Yes, I just sounded like one of those fancydecoratorpeople.) We both like using natural elements and clean lines, but most of all functional and cozy. Also, I have been so excited to paint over our yellow walls, so I picked up a terra cotta color which is supposed to be the third one down on the swatch once it is nice and even. (Just a side note we already painted over our bright red stop-sign-looking kitchen, ketchupandmustard anyone? Not sure what the last renters were thinking.)

:)
Happy Monday everyone!
