So I've decided to change the blog again. So many things have changed in my life since the last time I posted on here regularly. I've got a new love. My hunnybunny Steve who adores me and I adore equally as much or even more. We're engaged. We haven't set a date or started planning. I guess I'm not the typical bride who's been planning her wedding since childhood. Now that I've watched countless hours of Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings, and My Fair Wedding with David Tutera I'm even more clueless than I was before. There's so much to decide on and I don't know the first thing about planning a wedding, but I'll keep that for another post.
I've moved out of my parents' house for the first time ever. Honestly had I not met Steve, I would've stayed there forever. So I made the 964 mile move from Lafayette, Louisiana to Fayetteville, North Carolina. I've been here since January and I'm still dealing with bouts of homesickness. You never really learn to appreciate a place until you're no longer there. I love and miss my family, my dog, my friends, the food, the music, and the city. So instead of moping around the apartment, I've undertaken the task of decorating and styling the apartment to feel more like a home. I spend the day searching blogs for inspiration and ideas and scowering craigslist for finds. So far the only furniture we've bought new is the bedroom set and that was before I knew that not every piece has to be "matchy-matchy," a phrase Steve often makes fun of me with.
This is one of many projects we've got going on in the apartment. I felt like the kitchen and entryway needed some interest so I decided to go with some pretty bold stripes. A little measuring, a level, tons of frog tape (which is amazing by the way!), three coats of paint later and voila!
