... and so I'm getting the urge to redecorate and plant flowers. It's this time of year that I always curse myself for not planting bulbs in the fall. It's also the time of year that I tell myself this is the year I'm actually going to do the back flowerbed and plant lots of annuals and actually have a decent lawn. It might really happen this time. I can't really plant any flowers until around Mother's Day--they'll just get frostbitten otherwise--but I can repaint the master suite in the meantime. I'm thinking brown walls in the bedroom, teal blue walls in the bathroom, and curtains/bedding/accents with a mixture of both colors. I've found towels and curtains I like a Target; finding new bedding could be an issue, as could finding a shower curtain. I'll search around until I find something, but I forsee a weekend soon where I'm up to my elbows in paint. I can't wait. And then maybe we'll be grown-ups and buy an actual bedroom furniture set. Right now it's a mish-mash of childhood, garage sale, and hand-me-down furniture.
I've also been pondering re-doing Ken's den. He's actually just turned our spare room into his office; I'd like to surprise him with new paint and a few cool asian-feel pictures for the walls. I think he'd really appreciate that, and it wouldn't take much effort. Maybe the next time he's away on business.

I don't think redoing Ken's den is a surprise anymore.
Good luck with the flowers. We had a bunch of rain a while back and a couple of our big plants drown. I couldn't believe it. So now we need to get new plants too. I'm thinking our own palm tree and then some flowers for the patio.
More later.
You assume two things: one, Ken actually reads this blog, and two, Ken actually believes I would go through with it. The first might be true, but the second is iffy at best. :)
Rain in L.A.? What is the world coming to?
I'm surrounded by home improvement and redecorating...and mishmash hand-me-down furniture. It's getting overwhelming. I do have lots of bulbs coming up though. Some I planted in the fall, some were already here. I don't even remember which is which. We're also attempting to rejuvenate the lawn right now.
