Thinking

I know I am a horrible blogger. I actually think of things to blog all the time but never get around to it. Now that my youngest is in school all day though I don't have an excuse. Yes I am filling my time. However, I am in no way busy. I have time to work out. Wander through stores and just look. Look through my boards at all I have pinned on pinterest. We have tried some new recipes. Some good and some are no longer on my board. But that brings me to my thoughts for tonight. When you moved out for the first time, yes I would say college would count, how did you decorate? My little sister just moved out. Her and her roommate are coordinating things and making it look so cute. All kinds of pinterest ideas in there duplex. So here is my question. Are you just a decorator or not? I remember my first apartment. We bought a used couch and table. I bought cheap silverware and all that and took whatever freebies I could get. I think my mom gave me a few towels and we just mixed and matched. I don't even think we had pictures on the wall. Fast forward to my life. I have a style. It is called relaxed/ modern/livable/craftsman. So basically I decorate very simple. I can't have to much stuff. It may sound weird but it causes me anxiety. I love pinterest and all the ideas. But other than the recipes and some of the kid crafts not much of that stuff will ever be done in my home. I love my matching couches and recliner. I love my modern looking tv stand. I love that the only pictures on my walls are of my family. So, I think I am just not a decorator. I know what I like and it isn't that. I love having a clean and tidy house and don't like having projects all over. If I start something I will finish it very soon. Would love to hear your style and if it has changed as you have gotten older and as your situation has changed. Just my thoughts for the night.

I am definitely NOT a decorator, but I REALLY, REALLY want to be!! I see all those cute ideas on pinterest (or other places) and some of them don't look too complicated, but then I get overwhelmed at the task or the cost (even though they say it's a budget fix.) You can see my lack-of-decorating ability when you walk into our front door! :-(
