Repeat After Me

So I've been talking about the addition to our home for oh let's see TWO YEARS. Ugh. I hope I don't bite my tongue but I'm pretty sure {real deal yo} we are signing the contract to commit to our contractor this evening. I'm so dang excited I can't even handle it.  Repeat after me: clean slate.  I will now have a family room, bedroom, master bath and walk in closet to decorate. This is amazing.  Well, I guess its only amazing if I don't end up in divorce court.  Womp. Womp.

Wisteria.  Repeat that.  Everyone all together now: clean slate/wisteria/clean slate/wisteria

When I pull that shiny little gem of a catalog out of my mailbox the world just stops. I retreat to the bathroom, lock the door, sit on the floor and swoon.  The dog can be tooting all over the house, M can be running amuck and NPF4 can be crying because M is frightening him.  None of it matters because I am in a catalog coma.

Honestly, you I need everything in the catalog and on the website. I'm coffee table obsessed at the moment.   As my M says when she sees cupcakes - I NEED THIS.  Smart girl.  I've obv taught her well.

I have two visions for my family room; both very different. These will fit with my first vision and the travertine my second.

Mirror for the master bath.

 Der, more nautical.  You always have a place in my home.

Sit down in my new family room chairs.

Have a seat. Don't exactly know where this lady love will fit but she certainly is a beauty.

I need to stop.  I've tired myself out.  Let's be real.  I'm going to IKEA. Repeat after me: IKEA. xox

Pink

Since the 5th grade my favorite color has been green.  Yes, 5th grade.  The only reason I remember this is because the boy I had a crush on told me it was his favorite color so I figured it might as well be mine too.  Duh, another lie. Actually, the truth is, I thought if it was my favorite color he would like me.  Fail. Big fail.

So basically I've had a long term relationship with the color green and not my 5th grade crush.  Love the color.   Crisp. Clean. Fun.  I'm partial to chartreuse  but I don't discriminate against other shades of green.   I'm scared to even  type these words - I'm falling in love (madly) with the color pink.  Eeeks.  My association with pink is frills, ruffles, sparkles and lace. Barf. I have shied away from the color most of my life and now I tend to gravitate toward it.   Sorry green.  I still love ya.  Just need a change. 


To much blabbing. Need to get to the pics. The short of it,  pink can be used tastefully in any room of your house.  The pictures below prove it.


First Impressions. Knock. Knock.

Pink it's my newest obsession 

Yeah, pink it's not even a question

Do you remember that song Pink from Aerosmith?  Barf.  Worst. Song. Ever. 
Anyway, crappy Aerosmith song or not I've found a new crush.
