And for my next trick.....

When my son was alive, we wanted to move out of our house into a rambler/ranch style house. But, between the hospital stays and worrying about disinfecting someone else's germs, it was not task we had time for. I still want to move, but right now, our house isn't worth what we owe. There are good and bad sides to this problem. The bad is that I want to move, I don't feel as though I can settle down in this house knowing that, hopefully, in the next few years we will be moving along. Now, the GREAT part is that I can become even more of a blog-stalker and follow the ideas of all of the creative women whose blogs I have posted. I have always wanted to live by the ocean in a cottage, but I will not leave my baby boy or our families, so we will stay in Utah. This does NOT mean that I can't still have a beach cottage house. So until we move and probably still after, I will look to find inspiration from these women while creating a home that will be a sanctuary for us. I have already begun to repurpose and repaint. I am checking garage sales and thrift stores to find vintage and chic items that will help to create this space. I have always loved white and these blogs show that you can never have too much. Plus, all of the white reminds me of Heaven, thus making me feel even closer to my son. When I find my camera, I will begin to post pictures of my projects so far.
