Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, job searching had been keeping me busy, then I found a job as a furniture sales associate at a local furniture store in the Kansas City area. After one month of working there, I decided that it wasn't for me, so yesterday was my last day there. In the past month I feel like i've made a life changing decision for myself, I'm soo tired of working at dead end jobs that I don't care about or working as a temp, i'm done with the ups and downs and constant stressing out about money and my job situation. I've been tossing this idea around for about a year or so but wanted to wait and see what 2010 was going to bring for me jobwise. I've made the decision that in 2011 i'm taking things into my own hands and going to make things happen for me, so I decided to go back to school this fall for kitchen and bath design. Just the other day I accepted an internship for a cabinet/sales design position. Now i'm just waiting to hear back from the community college to see if i've been accepted. I feel like things are finally starting to fall into place for me and i'm not wasting my time anymore, and boy is it a huge relief!

I'm extremely excited to go back to school after the wedding and i'm hoping i'll only have to take a few classes so I can be done in a semester or 2. I talked with an academic advisor in the Interior Design department at the college I would attend and she thinks i'll only need a few classes then i'll be able to work towards getting my AKBD Certification (Associate Kitchen & Bath Designer)!!

 The house work is coming along very slowly, Matt got his pool table put together with the help of friends and it looks awesome! His man cave is far from being finished, but it'll get there. As spring is getting closer i'm itching to get more projects done on the house, so pictures of our progress will be posted soon!

While browsing a few design blogs and finding random pictures, I though I would share some pictures that have caught my eye and I just fell in love with.
Our bedroom's color scheme is very similar to this one, I just love everything in this one!

Making beaten up furniture look new again with a fabric change & cleaning up the wood is another one of my favorite things!



I'll try to post at least once a week from now on! Hope everyone has a great day!
