Well, today was just a GOOD GOOD GOOD day! I wasn't so sure when I was wakened by the phone this morning (the driveway guy), then he arrived before the coffee had perked etc. But it got better.
They say things happen in 3s. Well, here are my 3...
1. Saving between $8,000 and $10,000 on the driveway
2. Getting the award and a feature article in the newspaper on the studio only 3 weeks after the tv feature on it
3. Went to order the kitchen wallpaper and it turned out they'd miscalculated. It was going to be $200 cheaper! I almost didn't get it because of the price.
I never painted a room before last week. Now I have a lovely, nautical blue bedroom. I only wallpapered once before. That was here in the bathroom (it has fishing lures on it). Now I will have a big task in front of me but I'm very excited about it.
So, I have ordered laminate for the bathroom and kitchen and carpet for all 3 bedrooms and the hallway. It will look so new.
So, I might not have bought the new cottage, but I'm breathing new life into the old one. Josh and I just chatted about this. He said "I'm so happy you saw the other cottage - it inspired you to do the most you can with the great place you have".
Who knows, maybe I'll end up buying that place if the price comes down at some point. One never knows. But I've improved the worth of mine and every day it gets better. I cleaned out a huge closet under the stairs and it is almost like having another room. Tommorrow the Salvation Army is coming to take some old furniture. It feels like losing weight.
Anyway, I'm having a good day and things are rockin' at the Lemonade Stand. I'm buying the rounds tonight.
