Remember the saga of Gwen visiting so many Honda dealership’s along her drive from California to here? Well, in order to make me a happy customer, they are refunding me all of the towing money. That means there is a nice fat refund check in the mail, coming to me. Yay for Honda and money to buy furniture for!

Oh wait, most of you don’t know about that do you? What would I need furniture for? Well, my coworker told me about this loft on the second story of a house of friend’s of her’s dad’s business (like all those connections?). After she starts telling me about it (older antique house, hardwood flowers, big long windows…) and its lovely location (in downtown) I started to get very excited about it. Its when she told me the steal of a deal that rent it, I basically told her, before seeing it, unless its a rat’s hole, I’ll probably want to move in. And low and behold it was not a rat hole, but a cute loft type setting with characters of an older house I’ve wanted. Molding around the doors and windows and a porch. We can paint our rooms whatever colors we’d like. So I move in sometime in November. Yay!

So that fills yall in on my new search for furniture. Im gonna try and get some decent good size pieces, wood mostly and paint them fun colors to go with my room color – which at this point probably will be a dark brown and eggshell color boarder molding. Lots of fun colors can tie into those. But I will need a couch. A bed (oh yeah that…) and frame. A dresser. And maybe a bigger bookcase. That’s my fun news. If you are in the area and really like to paint, I’ve never painted a room before so Id love help. Snacks of sorts will be provided.
