Trying for a White Houzz

Holy moly I haven't blogged since Tuesday. Where have I been?? I can hardly remember what I have been doing, but I can tell you what has been on my mind.  Interior paint color! I have been wanting a very 'fresh' white house, but seriously lacking the cahones to really go for it.

Then BOOM. I ran into this picture on houzz.com (my latest obession).

Amazing right? so of course I rushed over to this amazing blog written by Maria, called Dreamy Whites. It's  all about her obsession with painting everything white. And furnishing everything in white. Ding ding ding. Talk about finding my soulmate y'all!

I scoured Maria's blog, and her take on dreamy whites  all saturday morning. She mixes a variety of light grays and shades of white to give her house the ultimate fresh look. I am not interior decorator, and this is pretty much my first rodeo in the house department, but  this woman is a genius. I totally had a blog moment where I thanked the lord about a dozen times for turning me onto blogging. Then  I thought.. hmm it's basically enabled me to obsess over things that should be simple. But that is not the point.

So off I went to buy paint samples, when mind you my builder already put 4 paint samples up for me to view. I picked up a few of Maria's top whites, and then a few I thought I might like. Here is what they looked like:

From left to right - SW Alabaster, RL Country Dairy, SW Greek Villa and BM White Dove

Time to take the plunge! And honestly I have no idea. Maybe I'll just flip a coin

Calling all paint afficianados out there, any opinion on these colors?

Paint and wood floor stain selections are due tomorrow, wish us luck!.ahh. 3-4 more weeks and this process will be done!!

 

That time I Said

I was going to bed early. But stayed up all night reading blogs. And didn't blog myself.

(in my Homer Simpson voice) DOUGHT!
I love all your blogs btw.

I was born a ramblin' man..

 I don’t have much to say today except, bring on this week!!! 

I came home today and cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom, did laundry, then actually folded the laundry and put it away (very big accomplishment), tackled the piles of clean and unfolded clothes from last week, 

tested out the new hana blowdryer, 

PACKED my gym bag for the WHOLE week, 

and caught up on some work emails to be ready for tomorrow.

My Sundays never go down like this, but this week is going to be BUSY, and I need to be ready for it. 

And no I did not see the Spice Girls perform. 

Actually, thank goodness the Olympics are over because I accomplished nothing while they were on.   

Oh and duh, CONGRATS JENNIFER ANISTON!!! You go glen coco #TeamAnistonforlife

Wish me luck in boot camp tomorrow night, I just hope I don’t pass out because it is taking place in the great outdoors, and no it is not starting to feel like fall in Texas.  

I haven’t worked out in three months. 

I drink 5 diet cokes a day. 

Holy moly I just pray I don't fall down.. 

Happy week to all! And very happy birthday to Miss Bargain Blonde!! 

( I warned you I was just rambling...)

I’m out.
