Yesterday, Y'all.....I Became an HGTV Designer (In my own Mind)
I was in town all day yesterday picking out new ceiling fans and light fixtures for Sam's dad's house, and let me tell y'all...I forgot how exhausting the world of home decor can be. One minute I was sipping on a Dr. Pepper just feeling normal and the next minute I was squinting at a wall of 297 light fixtures....wondering why on earth there are that many selections to choose from. And don't even get me started on how many different kinds of light bulbs are on the market.
We've been having his house redone on the inside, and I am loving the white color I selected for the cabinets. I marched myself into the store and right down the fan aisle like I was Joanna Gaines with a mission. LOL. I chose black fans and black fixtures that I know will really stand out against the white.
My car was packed from front to back and the boxes were reaching as high as they could go. I had to use my side mirrors while driving home cause there sure wasn't any vision in my rear view mirror.
The flooring is next...OH mercy!! I've already googled so many options that my phone probably thinks I'm opening a flooring store. I'm just hoping that the house ends up looking exactly how I envisioned.
By the end of the day, I was absolutely convinced that I could star in my own HGTV show. I am excited and I can't wait to see the finished look!! BTW...if any of you happen to see me walking through Home Depot with a huge amount of confidence (that I really haven't earned) .... Just let me have my moment of basically becoming the newest designer...
And in other news....It looks like I'll be hosting Thanksgiving lunch this year for 7 of us. Seven hungry humans will gather around my table and feast on a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Some of the grands will be off spending Thanksgiving in Colorado....They will be breathing in that cool mountain air and probably sending me pictures of themselves all bundled up making snowmen. Honestly...this sounds like fun and I can't wait to hear every single detail of their Thanksgiving trip.
Back home here, I'll be fluffing napkins and reminding myself that hosting a small crowd is practically like being on vacation.
Happy Friday, friends...let the weekend shuffle begin!!
Shug... 🦃
Whew, your trip made me tired. Love that you had a drink with you. I like to do that when I hit Target for a long trip. Though a different drink than yours but still, the idea of the fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick out all that stuff. I end up second guessing myself all the time. Now I can't wait to see the house when you're done! I'll watch your HGTV show!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished product, hope you will show it to us and now I am picturing you in Home Depot. wish I could walk through any store selling anything and not have to rush...
