With Thanksgiving is about a week away I have found myself nesting. My mom is coming to stay with us for the holiday weekend and celebrate with my new family this year. She stayed at our apartment when we went on our surprise honeymoon. I was so embarrassed cause it looked like a bomb went off in my house and I was not expecting guests. Being a good mom she stayed and did not say a word about the mess. In fact when we surprised her by coming home early on Sunday she and my mother-in-law had made plans to clean for us.
After that I was determined to show her that not only did I want her to join me and the new family I had for the holidays but I wanted her to see I was not completely domestically challenged. I can have a clean kitchen and a reasonable amount of laundry not spread through out the house and covering the patio.
Being a young married couple our house hold furniture is donated. Things do not really match or even go together. We are missing some normal pieces of furniture. We have a small bistro table that pretends to be a dining table which we never eat on. So in preparation for my moms arrival and the holidays in general, I have begun to get small things to bring my miss matched house together and decorate with the color black and not seem too girlie or depressing.
I will post pics of the renovations but I have to say so far I like that way things are looking. I might not stick with everything I have chose so far but i like to think of my house as a work in progress until we buy a house in a few years. When I post the pics you will have to let me know if you think I should keep this look or change it.
Make today a great day!!!
