Don't you just hate it when your sheets don't match your comforter? Your towels don't match your toothbrush? Yeah - I don't care either. Living the frugal life we live; we don't really give a darn how things look, as long as they work.
There has been an exception to the rule folks. This weekend we engaged in some serious interior decorating. It was high time that our desk and end table actually matched the rest of our furniture. The sig other has been watching a lot of design programs in his free time. Not to mention food and fashion programs too. (I was beginning to wonder just how straight of a man he really was - but it has been confirmed - he is. The baseball hat and bodily noises/odors attest to this factoid... amongst other things). ;o)
So Sunday came, as did daylight savings time. We took a much needed trip to one of the home warehouse stores and got ourselves some black paint, primer and white paint. Then we got some stencils to be more artsy. It was actually very relaxing and rejuvenating to work on making something look better. Damn the cold weather and having all windows open as to not faint in our apartment; we had to stop as the sun went down because there were no more layers to put on. We hope to continue and finish this weekend. (Ignore that it's supposed to snow this week.)
The depressing thing about home decorating is -- we don't actually have a home. We just have a place to quasi-call our own. When we do have a place that is rightfully ours, I don't think we'll ever want to leave. Decorating can be fun! Now if only we could get paid for it too... ;)
