I'm bad at blogging.

I love reading house design blogs and when I finally got my own home I thought it would be so much fun to have my own blog... I was wrong. Getting a blog is easy, maintaining it is another story. The blogs I like have these detailed, how-to projects and as much as love doing the projects I really don't care to talk about them after they are finished.

BUT, I don't want to give up just yet so here is another attempt.

This picture is of my new kitchen... pretty blah, but perfectly nice. I started by pulling up the old contact paper. And by 'I' I mean with my mom's help and by 'old' I mean from the 1930s. It took a while.

Then we cleaned it all up and then I decided to paint the inside of the cabinets the same color as the wall. I don't have a picture of the painted cabinets because I'm really bad at blogging.

Maybe next time.

I bought a house.

Well, I bought a house. By myself.

After a few years on the east coast paying thousands of dollars in rent, I was done. I moved back to my hometown of Indianapolis in search of a home of my own. And after seven (very long) months of living with my parents and littlest brother I finally closed on a great little house.

I love design. Even as a little girl I would often redesign spaces in my head... first grade class room, dentist office, BMV... it's true, government offices are the worst.

This blog will be about my adventures in homeownership and the fulfillment of all my design fantasies!
