• Buyers Remorse

    buyers remorseI seem to dream a lot.  Mostly my dreams are crazy happenings and events.  

    But most often my dreams are about houses, their layouts, decorating, and purchasing cottages that I then renovate.  I have this reoccurring dream that I purchase a cottage.  Now, this isn’t just any cottage, but a structure that it seemed no one wanted.  I always wanted to be located very close to the water and I always said, “I want a shack in the woods on a lake”.   

  • I’d Rather Be Camping

    campingThrough the years I have discovered that my absolute favorite outdoor activity is camping.  I especially love tent camping unless, of course,  it is raining.  This can make it a little uncomfortable unless you are savvy about how to set your tent up to avoid leaking.

  • Work With What You Have

    homeFrom an early age, I have loved houses.  I feel every house has a possibility.  I do get sort of frustrated with the HDTV shows where they take a house, tear out fireplaces, knock down walls, and completely change the floor plans.  I, myself, like to look at a house, work with for the most part what it has, update it, and make decorating changes to make it functional and beautiful.  Not everyone has the money to practically tear up the whole house and begin from scratch.  It is a lovely idea, but not probable or practical.
