Have you ever noticed that once you are committed to a home project things start to spin out of control? We are getting new siding for the house out of pure necessity (hmmm...rotting wood siding that will soon develop black mold which will spread and destroy the infrastructure of the house or....... yeah, kinda a no brainer even though it sucks) but with that big change comes a thousand little changes that are suddenly creeping in.
We've been wanting a new house address plaque ever since we moved in and this seems like a good time. (I finally found a really great one that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Wow! You can find some seriously (over priced) nice address plaques these days but you know, something basic works just fine for us.) The ones we have now is wood that has been repaired a number of times and is painted to match the current house colors. Yesterday I picked up a new entry hall throw rug that has both the green from the new outside of the house as well as the browns that are in our interior. (Gotta love Costo!) Now I'm itching to paint the interior - at least the living room, foyer area, hallway and our bedroom. I know, I know - that's a lot. I'm not sure where I want to start. Maybe the living room since it would made a dramatic difference that can be seen by others. Maybe we can add new shower faucets to the list. Ok, maybe not but still..it's easy for the imaginary "dream list" to get out of hand once you start to change things.
It's exciting. It's fun to thank of all the possibilities. :)

Hey, just remember that you have an "in" with bathroom/kitchen fixture stuff. We're not just saying that Matt's job is in the toilet - it really is!!!
I know what you mean about projects multiplying. It started with us painting the downstairs, now our powder room is completely gutted...UGH!!
Even "little" changes can mean so much and make you feel good!
