At that moment I thought, why not enjoy making this place my own. I have never had to do any decorating. I always left that to my W. Doing my house the way I want it is going to be a great GAL activity for me.
BillyHo,
That's exactly what happened to me. I've been working on my house, mostly the exterior, since late spring. I built wood shutters and carriage doors and did some painting and other things. The neighbors have been raving about the changes to the house. It's been a wonderful way to spend my time and add value to the house as well.
My wife took all of the bedroom furniture so my first project was to build a bed. I saw some cedar fence posts at Lowe's so I decided to build a cedar bed using cedar fence posts and cedar 1x12 boards. It's an awesome one-of-a-kind bed. It was also symbolic for me; I could rebuild my life and I'd be just fine.
And, I've become artsy-fartsy. You should checkout Hobby Lobby if you have one in your area.
