I don’t know if it’s just me, but sometimes the things that inspire me seems to subsequently depress me. In my current situation, being freshly unemployed and now a stay at home mom, which equals a much more broke mom, who has not so expensive tastes but certainly lofty ideas when it comes to her house….
arg. That sentence lost all structure and meaning didn’t it. What I’m trying to get across is that our income has been slashed in half and I’m still looking at all these design blogs and magazines every day and getting so inspired by all these great ideas and pretty nurseries and kitchens and yet I can’t do anything to release all that inspiration. Even the photos I’m taking can’t be printed because I ran out of black toner about 2 months ago and can’t justify buying a new one when that $15 could go towards diapers or cat food or whatever. So, while I’m looking at all these beautiful rooms and have all these crafty DIY ideas that are seriously on the cheap — even “on the cheap” has become expensive.
So yeah. Inspired. Depressed. Like I said.
I’m supposed to be getting Charlotte transferred into her “big girl” room and prepping her current room to become the new baby’s nursery. I peruse nursery/kids room ideas all the time over at Odeedoh and various other home/decor blogs and am in love with so many things for Charlotte’s new room. Such as:
via Ohdeedoh
via Ohdeedoh
via Lonny Mag
via Making It Lovely
via Young House Love
And with all the pretty things I can imagine to put together, my checkbook just laughs and rolls it’s eyes at me. But I’m determined to get these rooms close to complete. I’ll be posting “before” pics in the next couple of days and hopefully I’ll be able to get a new baby’s room and a toddler’s room finished in the next couple of months…right?
