Change

I crave change. Well, I crave change in small, measurable, controlled amounts. Why? I have no idea. Be that as it may, I've been changing things in my house. At first I thought it was wrong, like maybe I was coveting and being ungrateful for the things that I have. But, as we all know I an not an ungrateful person, so I resolved my issues and went for the change. This will mainly be a post of pictures with things that I have changed around my house. There are no before pictures, you'll just have to trust me that the after pictures are an improvement. Remember I only lie about Christmas presents.

First, up, hair cut. Don't worry, I know I still look like I'm 12.

Plants that are still alive after a month in.

Meg's new room.

Continued.

Cool, right? The locker, not the magnet, although that's cool too.

New fancy, shmancy pillows. I'm embracing the white couch, since it's not going anywhere for a while.

Ta-da. So briefly, I painted the doors and the fireplace rock thingy, and re-did the mantel decor, which you wouldn't know since I have no before picture.

New wreaths on doors. Narnia here we come.

Um, I'd like to think this looks cooler in person, but it may not. Those are oval frames with old pictures in them hanging from snazzy door pulls.

New scale.

I changed my friend Beth's lilac bush by cutting these off for her. (I borrowed her camera to favor you all with updated pictures.) Generous, I know. I scored that vase at the thrift store. That for sure is way cooler in person. It feels very English cottage.

Next time, just come and visit and you can see all the improvements.

Awaiting visitors,

Katie
