I'll be living in this thread.
So I worked on my office over the weekend. And it was kind of a fail. Turns out I'm a bad interior designer because I have a vision but am too cheap/stupid to execute it.
So I saw a cute thang in a magazine where they had a pink ceiling, white trim and gray walls. I was going to replicate it for my office. I picked "complimentary" gray and pink from Martha Stewart colors, had those replicated at Sherwin-Williams and went to painting! Well, the pink reflects down on the gray creating a weird baby blue. SO I look like I have a very confused nursery going on!
Then I was too cheap to buy the curtains I wanted--I don't even know why except that I had to pay $850 for insurance completely unexpectedly (my husband can not be in charge of anything financial, I realized) and so I went for the cheaper version because I was still digesting the outrageous insurance bill. So I wanted those ruffle curtains from Pottery Barn or anthropologie so I bought the cheap version from Target (which is .4 miles from my house so I'm over-using their shizz as is) for $20/panel. I KNOW. I need to stop being a cheapo (as my husband OFTEN tells me)! But I'm frugal when it comes to things like this and I'm sure, like I did with shoes, I'll learn to just buy the good shit and be done with it.
Anyway, the cheap Target curtains don't look modern. They look Loretta Lynn! So Now I'm super sad about the whole effing endeavor and I want to go back to renting. Hee!
