After several weeks of nothing, I lost a second pound this week. Of course, the weekend wasn’t happened yet, so I shouldn’t get excited. I feel like getting a little off-task to celebrate.
I love HGTV … not the realty shows and especially not the Property Shop with that self-absorbed prima donna. I love decorating shows. I followed Design Star and had the winner picked early. The judges talked about what a great group of talent they had this year, because it’s required. Others had good moments, but Antonio was good all the time. Did you see how he decorated his bedroom? A sombrero girl on the headboard would not be my choice, but it was fun.
I DVR Divine Design. A lot of her work is the same, but I like aspects of it, particularly the use of built-ins.
My favorite is Color Splash. I like bold color, but was brought up with pastels and neutrals. I want to learn how to pull it off without looking like kindergarten. Find out more at http://www.hgtv.com/color-splash/show/index.html
While I want to do more landscaping, all their shows have pools and outdoor kitchens. I don’t want and can’t afford either of them. OK, I’d like the pool, but it's too much work in the Mid-West.
When I’m finally done with college tuition in 2011, I want to remodel. Take out some walls. Put the fireplace on an angle and get it working. Make the house cool. I’ve got graph paper and am laying out a floor plan. The design phase is cheap. It’s actually doing it that will cost me.
