Brain is Storming

Well, with the housing market in a crunch people are still selling, but in our neighborhood they are taking serious losses. We thought that within the next year or two we would start looking for land to build, but we can't take that kind of loss. So, now we plan to add value to this house. Where to start? There is so much to do. I have to landscape the boys' favorite dirt spot and that will take some imagination. We just acquired a small section of a playset in our back yard. We intend to link them with a bridge and add a swing or other attraction to it. Our master bedroom and bathroom are in much need of decoration attention. When we moved in, it was necessary to make the entry way and living area appealing because that's what everyone else would see. And, Dylan's bedroom had to be decorated of course because he's a kid. When Eli came along he got a much more calm decor, but decor nonetheless. Now, I walk into my bedroom looking at an outdated color and absolutely no pictures or artwork on the wall, very few photographs in frames on the chiffarobe, a comforter in need of attention, and an old oil lantern that goes with absolutely nothing in the room. It needs a pick-me-up. My brain is storming. My wheels are spinning. I'm on the hunt for new. This summer is going to be full of redecorating, landscaping, redoing, and adding. By the time I get the bedroom done, I will move to the master bath and it must flow like never before. Then, I want to come up with some great ideas and start framing in our bonus room. By the time I get everything done, I'm not going to want to sell. Maybe that's a good thing!
