My husband thinks I'm crazy

Let's do this!  This is what I tell myself everyday, every minute, no wait every second.  So here I am taking a chance to talk about what I really love and that's decorating. It's been a passion of mine since I was a teenager. I remember when the first IKEA opened about an hour away from where I lived growing up.  When I walked into that store it was love at first sight, I was probably about 14 years old.  My creative wheels where racing the Indy 500. Thank goodness my mother saw how happy I was and bought me a few pictures, candles, and vases.  My bedroom remodel started immediately. After a complete transformation and my first time painting walls and sponge painting my ceiling, I know tacky..right, I was so excited to show my friends.  By the time anyone saw my new room it was  hit by the tornado that flew into my closet and lifted all of my belongings up and threw them all over the floor! Ok I won't lie I was a messy child but under the destruction of tornado wardrobe was a beautiful teenagers bedroom.  My mother and father would like to know who kidnapped that messy kid and dropped off a neat freak... HELLO parents I actually bought all of my belongs that I have now.  It's amazing how spending your own money makes you take better care of things.

Now let's talk about why my husband thinks I'm nuts.  I went to college and have a Bachelors degree in dietetics.  I wanted to go into interior design but at the time I didn't know what jobs would be available so I didn't follow my heart.  I currently work at a hospital as a food service supervisor.  Although I like the, I said like not love, creative menu planning, I have decorating on my mind all the time.  I recently had foot surgery and being off work for a few weeks has my mind on design decorating, design, decorating.... Everyday my husband comes home from work I have a new project for him.  He's just dying for me to go back to work! I started to sell " Design Boxes" on EBay, which includes a complete new package of decorative materials to give your dining room buffet, living room console table, Foyer, or Fireplace a new look.  I do the shopping, set up a display, and if you like it and make the purchase all you have to do is open the a box and set it up.  I have so many creative ideas to hang pictures in unique and cheap ways and I'm soooooo excited to share the things that are filling my head like the finale fireworks on the 4th of July. As soon as my first project is finished I will be posting pictures.  So my journey now begins to talk about what I LOVE and maybe help others create beautiful affordable spaces.  Ready Set Go...
