Jimmy and I have made the decision to stay put in le apartmente for awhile longer.
When we first moved here,
it was because the economy was bad,
and we were certainly living up to
(thankfully not beyond)
our means at the time.
So we made a grown up decision and decided to downsize and really save,
and focus on what was important.
Quality time.
I thought it would only be a year,
and then our dream home would show up and we’d happily move into our forever after.
But you know, such is not the case.
The California market is funny,
and while prices are definitely down,
we believe…
(and our being told by our friend in realty),
that they will continue to drop.
So.
Here we stay.
But, not without some changes.
Last week I sent an urgent email to my sister/interior designer and bribed her with sun,
In n Out,
Wings n Things,
and little mini getaway to Laguna Beach….
if she would just come down and help me redecorate our little place.
I feel like in order to make it work ANOTHER year with THREE kids now,
something’s gotta be different.
{at least that’s what I tell Jimmy.}
But, really….
I’m just kinda bored with the look.
So come mid May….
things will be getting a face lift,
and I am SO excited.
I’ll be sure to take pictures of all the befores and afters…
so you can be inspired by my sisters amazing talent.
Oh wait, you can be inspired now….
check out her business’ facebook page with ahhh-mazing pictures.

And can you see, wifi came through???
I am one happy chick, lemmetellya.
Got my blogging done in the morning with NO interruptions,
and now I’m gonna workout with Tracy…
then head to the pool.
It’s a rough life.
Too bad it’s only for two days!
I will DEFINITELY be picking a giveaway winner later today…
so if you still want to enter, go NOW!

cant wait to see pictures of how you redecorate!
I hear ya. I thought our apartment would be temporary, too, until we found the right house. Here we are nearly 2 years later! Hey, you do what you have to do sometimes.
Have fun today, Summer!
Can’t wait to see the new look!!!
Ummm I’m pretty sure I need her to come decorate for me! All her pics look great!
Good for you for being a grown-up and I look forward to the before and after photos!
Good for you for making a responsible decision!! I know how hard it is to live somewhere that you are not in love with, so I feel your pain, but at least you have what’s important to you…your family! I’m jealous your sis is an interior decorator. I love watching decorating shows and looking at magazines, but suck when it comes to actually having the skills! Enjoy your day!
Summer it will be amazing!
Sounds like fun! I’m sure it will look great.
I feel you on staying somewhere smaller while waiting for something nicer. I tend to shy away from decorating it cute, because I want a different place etc. I realize I should enjoy where I am in life NOW, not WAIT. So good for you for making your place cute &your own… or I guess your talents sister making it cute 🙂 Can’t wait to see pics! Everyone loves a good before and after!
