My life can be full to the top. That is where I am. Between Dunk being on spring break, keeping Gator and Sconicle on track and the animals on track I find myself more tired. Even though I am tired, I also feel revived. Texas had some great weather this week and last week, which can so make me feel a bit like spring.

I am slowly, frugally doing some simple redecorating. Sconicle’s room is almost done, except a coat of paint. His bedding still needs an update but I am looking for bargains, which in his style are not easy to find. His toys have been paired down and organized; it is a relaxing fun room. The last touch was his curtains. I had been shopping for fabric online and in the stores, even at Goodwill without any luck. I am a great sewer of curtains and drapes, not in any way a sewer of clothes. Fabric was just out of reach at what I was finding. Target and Wal-Mart were having sheet sales though. The last run to the feed store we stopped at the new Target, and picked up curtains for the living room and Sconicle’s room. His can eventually go along with his hope for bedding. I checked out with three huge window dressings for less than twenty dollars.

Spring has that effect on me, a fresh clean start is always good. Sconicle is ready and fresher than ever. I have toyed and toyed with color in my house. Now at this point in my life I am ready for clean white and relaxing. We have enough color with accessories that white walls with all the rich wood will look beautiful. When I get bored I can always change artwork or knick knacks. I have done my research and comparisons, and yes I am ready to commit to a paint color! White, I will update you exactly which white when I get it. I am so happy, the right paint store helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. The plan is to paint Sconicle’s, living room and my bedroom a refreshing white. I know what color I think I want but I want to be sure.

Decluttering my bedroom has included the busy wallpaper that I bought on sale years ago. I finally put it up a few years back and hated it. I wondered what I was thinking when I bought it! No more frustration with colors that bring me down, I am done feeling guilty after wasting money. The plan is to never waste that much money on a emotional irrational buy. Plan, plan and then budget and plan some more. Hubby feels good about my decision. My hardest decision has been the sheen! I finally found the right sheen for my shiny need that will not keep up Hubby during the day sleep.

Everyone I think needs inspiration. What I found is this picture here. It is not exactly what I love, but the comfy easy feel, the simple palate makes me warm and cozy inside.
