The last few days have been interesting to say the least. Friday our water heater burst, causing me to stay home from work and deal with the consequences. I was okay with this, considering we were lucky that is was rigged to drain outside. This would have been ideal, if the drain wasn't located directly above the hot tub (yes, we have a hot tub that we never use) which caused an extreme amount of flooding in the backyard. On top of the flooding, it rained all night, so we had a problem on our hands. The flooding caused a few more issues to arise, but more so gave me the bug to start on yardwork and clean up. We have had beautiful weather the last few weeks and I cannot wait for Spring.
In anticipation of Spring, Brian and I raked the front and backyard and are getting ready for some serious planting. I love digging in the dirt and watching things grow. I think gardening has taught me several lessons - most importantly, patience. Brian got me a subscription to Southern Living for my birthday, so I am getting lots of tricks, which help.
Speaking of Southern Living, this has been around the blog world some, but I have enjoyed finding out my personal style through Sproost. It was dead on! You can also design your own rooms - pretty fun stuff!
Cottage Chic
Who says that cottages can't be modern and chic? Who says that they have to be floral and cheesy? Not you!
You love the carefree spirit that the cottage interior inspires, but you are also serious about your appreciation for modern art and hip treasures. You love old and new alike, and love to highlight them all to expose the uniqueness of each. What better way to show off these treasures than with a light background?
This is probably why I love estate sales so much. Along with Cottage Chic, I was French Eclectic and Nantucket Style. Too bad we are spending money on new water heaters and hot tubs instead of beautiful furniture! Oh well, a girl can dream.
