it's time for a little honesty: i'm a generally happy and upbeat person, but sometimes you just get in a funk and instead of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, suddenly everything is tinted crummy. i usually keep it out of my blog, but the unavoidable truth right now is that we're going through a rough time. last week was hard and brought some very difficult choices to our doorstep. the last few months have been a roller-coaster ride of job interviews and rejections and while it is good to finally have an answer to the "what will we do next year" question, the answer is hard to accept.
we will not be moving.
and that pretty much sums it up. it's going to take some time to wrap my mind around spending another year in kansas, and so very very far away from the people we love, surrounded by allergens that seem intent upon killing me oh-so-slowly. but i know that it's the right choice. of course that doesn't make it easy. at all.
so, in light of this news, i'm launching myself into some major craft therapy meshed with a desire to have a beautiful and comfy home. after all, we'll be here one more year. i've already made a lot of small changes, but my new project is the bedroom, which i've never been very fond of. it currently feels like a second thought- a room where all the leftovers go. and while pursuing pintrest i found my perfect inspiration:
the colors, the words, everything is beautiful perfection.
so i'm off and running with this image in my brain. and since it's sold {for $540.00!} i'm going to be recreating it with my own {slight} twist. which makes me feel like a low-class art thief {sad} but honestly, if it keeps me busy and gives me a beautiful bedroom then i will just have to live with low-class-theify self!
and if you happen to be having a low week, or even if you're not, then maybe you can find some cheery inspiration from rachel castle too!
