You too, huh?
I'm getting the itch to make some changes and that only means one thing...
Spending money.
Since we aren't prepared to move, I'll have to be happy with re-decorating and re-purposing our existing house.
I'm blaming Spring. I think I have spring fever but without warmer temperatures, I feel like I need to make my house feel "springy". Or something like that.
I re-decorated our mantel a few weekends ago. It was way overdue. I bought these Pottery Barn stars about 7 years ago and they've been above the fireplace ever since. (This is my "fall" mantel).
And, here's my new spring mantel:
The mirror was actually attached to my dresser in our Master bedroom. I found the flowers, bird house and ceramic bird at Michael's for less than $35.
Next up on my list is the downstairs powder room and upstairs bathroom. Thank God for Pinterest!
In other news, my "cancer" friend ended up being admitted to the hospital after feeling pretty crappy for several days. She developed neutropenic fever from the chemo treatment and her immune system essentially shut down. Her white blood cell count bottomed out and she was not in good shape.
She was put on high dose antibiotics, received IV fluids and I'm happy to report she was released on Easter Sunday. She's back home now and slowly getting back to some normalcy. Except now she's dealing with nose bleeds. Ugh!
Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
