Purchase a home because you love it.

I purchased my home two years ago.  I thought it was a really nice home for the money though it was not decorated to my taste. I told myself that I would have it decorated and vying for "most beautiful home" in no time. Now two years later, my HGTV (I can tackle anything) motivation is waining, and I'm still looking at "BIG TOP CIRCUS STRIPES" in both my baths that I did not put there.  Yes, that is right ladies and gentleman,  with all the decorating expertise I possess and all the HGTV motivation in the world, I still cannot get in the mood to remove those dastardly stripes.  Oh it wouldn't be so bad if the stripes were beige upon lighter beige,  but no these are dark hunter green and beige in one room and "baby I'm so blue baby blue" with beige.  Hideous to say the least.

So ladies and gentleman, when you purchase a home even with the best of intentions, purchase one you love warts and all because sometimes the warts hang around longer than you could have ever imagined.

P. S.  I'm blaming this issue on my husband who promised he would replace the tile in both baths.  It's been sitting in the garage for months now and he seems to have lost his HGTV motivation as well.  I can't paint those walls until he lays the tile because he will surely mess up my paint job!  Right? : )
