Last week the left eye deteriorated more to the point where even light colors create a bright haze.
Still not going anywhere except for trips to the doctor's office. I'm hoping to feel well enough to make a trip to Michael's Craft Store in the next few days. I need more scrapbooking supplies and a change of scenery, even if just for a few minutes.
I awoke to thunderstorms this morning. Lovely stuff, several hours of rain to take care of my gardens and to keep today in the decent temperature range. I turned on the furnace to take off the chill. Sure didn't think I'd be doing it during July in Oklahoma.
Ordered a couple of books of Jack Vettriano prints on amazon this morning. That will help me to choose the ones that I'd like to use when we begin redecorating the guest apartment. I don't want a generic place for guests, any hotel can give that. It should be a place where every luxury is available, where special memories are created. To be honest, it will be a place to knock the socks off of anyone who stays there. I want people to look forward to the opportunity to stay there. Over the top? Why not?
Before Pammy moved in the apartment was decorated with Monet prints and scenes of Venice and the Mediterranean Sea. It looked incredible, but I'm ready for a change of pace. Getting away from safe decorating and going just a bit more edgy will be fun.
I truly love the way that our home looks. Every part has been remodeled since we moved in together. All lighting and fixtures have been replaced, every surface painted, and the carpet was replaced just over a year ago. We kept the antiques, the nicest furniture, and purchased new pieces to reflect our tastes. The house is a mix of his, mine and our things. I've gotten rid of most of the excess items and upgraded quite a few for comfort and luxury.
Every last bit has to be finished while I still have a bit of sight. I want to know that my home is filled with beauty. There is a folder containing items that I want to buy to replace items as they wear out over the years. That way, anyone helping me shop in the future will be able to see exactly what I want.
In my mind I can see the decorating that we have done as well as the things that I'd perhaps someday like to do. Knowing that my home is beautiful is important to me. It's not a want, it's a need.
Enough for now.....
