Settling In

We have commenced, and continued, the painting. The man and I have started painting and decorating our house after moving in ten months ago... It's been a while that we've not had paint on the walls, but in our defense, we've had a lot going on. Wedding, jobs, dogs, various other events, etc. We've finally reached that point where we have not only the energy, but a bit of cash as well, to do some decorating.


I'm amazed at how symbolic the painting of our walls has been. It's finally starting to feel like ours. To chose the color, layout and decor of a place that is all your own (or our own, as the case may be) has made our house feel more like home than it ever has before. The last ten months that we've spent here has seemed like a temporary lease, and now it feels like our home. I'm so content to spend my days dreaming of do-it-yourself weekends and plan the next project I'd like to get started on or complete, even! Imagine... completing a home improvement project that is all our own... what a wonderful thing. I'm so content and I can finally say that this house feels like home.

Cheers.
