I am feeling inspired. Big time. I've even been dreaming about it. Dreams of houses and furniture and art projects. It's been awhile since I have felt any type of motivation to be artsy or fartsy for that matter. But I feel it again. I want to paint and re-do furniture. I even have an idea for a kids clothes design. I want to shop thrift stores and vintage shops. I want to sell this modern furniture and replace it with funky pieces that have character and meaning. I want to print my photography, frame it and actually hang it on my walls (if you know me this is a big deal). I want to buy fabrics and textiles. I want to rid myself of the new and bring in the old.
It feels good to be inspired again. Since having kids I've just been in a major slump. I haven't enjoyed the arts like I used to or even been interested in it. Haven't picked up a paintbrush or canvas. But now, now I want to give new life to old pieces and bring in some spunk to this house. I want this place to be a reflection of us. What makes this giddiness so much more exciting is that Jeremiah is on board. He is encouraging me and even wants to be apart of this change.
So, yes, we don't have a lot of money to just go buck wild. But I am going to start. Start slow. Maybe pick out a new paint color. Sell some of this drab furniture. Buy some cool fabric and make some funky drapes for the living room. I am just going to ease into it. First stop.... Jeremiah and I are going on a date night tomorrow. Thai food and vintage shops in Hawthorne here we come! Can't wait.
