Since starting my job I haven't had time to check anything off my ever growing to-do list. I am striving to get something accomplished this week. I have a lot of unfinished projects just screaming at me to get finished. Here are two things that have been on my mind as of late.
My porch
I have been trying to get a contractor out to have a look at my porch columns. They are warped and leaning. About a month ago I posted this picture on instagram and enlisted your help in choosing a column for my porch. The verdict was unanimous and it happen to be the one Dr.Jay and I ultimately thought would suit the house best. Of course it was the most expensive option, why is that always the case? :)I was browsing the internet for some porch inspiration when I stumbled across these. They stopped me right in my tracks and my porch plans went right out the window. The style of these porches are open and inviting. I love the wide stairs! I am itching for the contractor to hurry his buns up and get here. I want to see if my new plans for the porch are doable, not only from a contractor stand point but from a financial one.

Living Room Rug
I also have rugs on the brain. I recently got tired of our dirty, dingy rug and removed it. We now are sporting only are hardwoods. Its a great look but it is not soft to sit on. :) Dr.Jay rarely agrees with my decorating fits but this time he did! So he has been helping me shop for a new one. Here are a few of the ones we like: |

I know how you feel re: accomplishing projects on your home....even as a I cross one off my list, I create five more in my mind, yet have no time to do them! With that said, I'm waiting on a call back from a contractor on one and wish he would hurry up, too!
ReplyDeletewithout knowing what direction you are headed in your living room, I love the last rug!
