I moved to Nashville all of 2 weeks ago and its already killing me that I already dont have a pinterest perfect picture house. For most of college I sat on my couch and dreamed of when I would have my own home that I OWNED so that I could do every pinterest project I had ever dreamed of. I had a grand idea of going to garage sales everyday and goodwill and thrift stores all night. I could sit and spray paint anything. Not that I had ever done it before but how hard could it be?
Well heres the thing. Growing up sucks. Moving to a new city I barely know how to get to my local publix let alone goodwill or god forbid a garage sale on craigslist. Not to mention gas isnt cheap. Yes I may have gotten the perfect 50 cents candle sconce thing that I can spray paint really cool but guess what I spent $20 in gas finding it! So again I say growing up sucks.
I know I’m putting tons of pressure on my self considering I have lived here all of 288 hours. (Yes I had to use my iphone calculator to figure that out.) But I need to get moving. There are so many things to be done and I keep putting them all off. So for a little accountability and maybe some old fashion group help. Im going to show you something that I probably shouldnt show anyone…my to do list. It is a million pages long but hopefully I can start cutting it down. I know having a crazy high strung puppy doesnt really help with the whole diy pinfabulous version of things I have in my head but I know that one day – maybe a year (maybe 3 from now) my house will be exactly how I want it! So here it goes no one laugh at my list!
