Hey howdy hey! I’m back! Did you miss me? (Did you notice I was gone?) I’ve spent the last week moving from our rental into our new house just down the street. Moving is the opposite of fun. I’d rather go to the dentist. In a prison. In a third-world country. But phew, we are here now! And we finally have the internet! We still have a loong way to go to get things in order, but when I do, I’m planning to share a little home tour with you.
But not yet! Because right now my bedroom looks exactly like Monica’s before bedroom. Actually, mine looks worse. So let’s enjoy her beautiful bedroom makeover instead, while I try to forget that mine is buried somewhere under piles of moving detritus. Love those stripes and the large-and-in-charge headboard. Great way to make use of all that wall space.
See more at Monica Wants It.

June 9, 2014 at 9:36 AMLindsey, I did miss you. I checked every day to see if you were back. I am glad to see you are posting on your blog again. Any blogger who can use the expression “under piles of moving detritus” about her bedroom without shame deserves my loyal readership. Keep it up!
Oh, and Monica’s bedroom is a nice improvement. I like that pillow that says ‘retreat’ on it.

June 9, 2014 at 10:07 AMI have to agree with you about moving. Everyone thought I was morbid when we moved into our new house two months ago and I told everyone “I WILL DIE HERE. Maybe today, maybe in 60 years…but it will be HERE!” And I did miss your posts! I only follow 2 blogs and you are one of them!
