Ahhhhh

I woke up this morning and opened my eyes and even in the still nearly dark, I could see that I was in a special place. A place that had beautiful colors being cooled by the most wonderful ceiling fan in the world and served on a platter of very rich carpet. I got the most intense feeling of 'how cool is it that I get to live here??!!!' feeling.

When I first moved in here, I used to have that feeling every time I opened up the front door. For the past few years, I've still loved the place but have only been able to see the disgusting carpet and the boring walls and the junk.

Now I can see what it will be. I'm not sure I really realized what this project was going to turn into. And that's probably good because I'm not sure I would have had enough nerve to start if I had known. But, now I know it was so the right thing to do and it is going to be just amazingly spectacular.

Today's agenda includes:

Terrace - make it look less like a disaster aftermath
Full Bath - clean floor and the tub
Living room - organize the furniture
Take pictures - update website
Beat Boston again

But, first... breakfast. I have not been able to enjoy toast in forever. I am going to have toast. Life is excellent.

I'm not sure I really realized what this project was going to turn into.

I am not sure anyone ever does before they go into it. Even pros, even when they spend hours sketching and coloring -- papers isn't the same as being immersed in Life Size Color Texture. They just have a better idea what might work, and have learned from others' mistakes.

And, I'm serious... had I known, I would have likely never done it. I think denial is such a nice life preserver.

It is always great to finish a big project and see how nice it turned out. Congrats.
