everything is all right now….

In 2005 I bought my couch and love seat. In the last 7 years it has taken a good beating and all the pillow parts of the couch were looking pretty sad.

I’m moving in a month into a smaller place and I am lucky enough to have a place for all my stuff so I can recreate the ‘home’ I have. This space is smaller than the apartment I am in, but I have gone over the space and I believe I can get about 75% of the major furniture comfortably placed in it.

The thing I am trying to avoid is making it look like a bunch of stuff crammed into a room. I want to create my space. I believe that if you love a room, you will make it comfortable and cozy. I love my new space. I’ve been decorating and redecorating in my mind for about a month now. Yesterday I found a inexpensive way to do the flooring and found paint for half the cost of Lowes. I’m still up in the air about the color though.

Yesterday I decided to give the couch cushions a little love. I got new stuffing, heavy duty thread and curved needle and began breathing new life into my squishy cushions. They look like the day I brought them home and it only cost me about 30 dollars.

I found a good idea on organization for a small room on Pintrest. That stupid site might be part of my insomnia.

My life is about to take a very scary turn and I am going to take it on like I have tried to do with everything else, with grace.
Sometimes I look at the strange path that has brought me to where I am, who I am with and the people in my life.
Right now, this is the best part of my life. I feel like I am on the right road with the right person for me. Just thinking about him and our path makes me smile. He makes me smile.

I’m going to be alright, everyone.
